Fairytales From Verania Pre-Order & Other News
The tower. The beanstalk. The mask. The dragon.
On April 27, 2021, it’s time to go back to Verania. Sort of.
New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune invites you back to the land of Verania in a new collection of short stories starring the beloved characters from the Tales of Verania series.
In the opening story—The Unicorn in the Tower—Gary is a princess trapped in a stone tower by the evil Lady Tina DeSilva, who plans on sacrificing him on the first full moon after his eighteenth birthday. With help from his friends—a bird named Tiggy and a mangy weasel called Sam—Gary interviews potential suitors to rescue him and love him above all others, as he so rightly deserves.
The Unicorn in the Tower is followed by Sam and the Beanstalk, wherein a poor farm boy exchanges his family’s bull for magical beans and the promise of treasure in the sky. But when he climbs the beanstalk, Sam finds things are not as he expected them to be.
The Good Boy sees Todd and his immaculate ears taking center stage. When Todd’s father dies, he leaves his son in the care of his evil stepmother and two stepsiblings who live to make Todd’s life a living hell. It’s not until the household receives an invitation to attend a ball for the mysterious Sir that Todd begins to wish for a life beyond what he knows.
David’s Dragon, the final—and only canonical—tale, is set a thousand years before the rise of the Dark wizard Myrin. It begins simply: a lonely boy in a small village befriends a dragon. What follows is a story of love and sacrifice, hope and heartbreak, and what it means to earn your place amongst the stars.
Welcome back to Verania. It’s going to be a hell of a ride.

Other news:
A few months ago, I announced my intention on releasing four books in 2021: Fairytales on April 27, Flash Fire on July 13, Under the Whispering Door on September 21, and The Damning Stone (Prince Justin’s book) at some point toward the end of the year.
The reason I’d made this decision was because Flash Fire and Whispering Door had shifted release dates, the former moving up a week, and the latter moving from March to September. Big things were happening with Cerulean and The Extraordinaries, and the publisher (and rightly so) wanted to give those two books room to breathe.
At the time, I thought 2022 was going to be as it was first: my third adult Tor book in the Spring, followed by Extraordinaries III in the summer. But then we all agreed to keep the releases to match this year (2021), meaning a summer 2022 release for Extra III, and my third adult book in September 2022.
Which opened up another hole in my release schedule, the first half of 2022. To allow myself room to breathe, I’ve made the decision to push The Damning Stone to Spring 2022. I know many of you won’t like that, but I hope we can all agree that my health and sanity is a little more important than a book. I’m a little frazzled as it is, and I want to do right by myself and each of my books. So you’ll get the Damning Stone, but just a few months later than originally planned. And I am going to keep to a 3 book a year schedule because anything more than that might run the risk of me running myself ragged.
Good?
Good.
Thank you so much for supporting my work. I can’t wait to show you all what I have planned for the next few years. Big things are on the horizon!

OF COURSE Gary is the princess in the tower...
Hope the 3 book a year schedule helps to keep you sane! Because if you aren't healthy and happy, we get 0 books. I have no problem rereading. :)

Your health and well being is way more important than a book. We can all patiently wait for Justin’s book. Plus we get to see the gang next month so that helps :)
