Ladies and gentlemen, warriors and wanderers, I give you a delectable drama, a four-act-play, one sharing aspects with Beauty and the Beast, ancient Sparta, and, of course, the Roman Coliseum. All translated by me, your host, Ishethra, from the original Drenaglese for you humans residing on Sol.

What manner of tome could combine such disparate topics? Allow me to introduce you to Alonka and Puck, the mavka trickster twins, desperate to find their true love, co-starring with Dragan the Barbarian, our spirited warrior. A man whose vast power comes not from his might, nor his magic or chaotic mind … but by his boundless heart. Yamuba, our endearing hungry inquisitor, completes this ravishing recipe.

Some of you might be sensitive, so pay attention before you partake of this dark sacrament. These themes are detailed on the page: death in childbirth, profane language, intense and gory battles, consensual sex, bondage, torture, cannibalism, dark rituals, surgery, aftermath of civilian slaughter, and of course, true love.

One more thing: if you have a sensitive stomach, I suggest you indulge before breakfast. Or during supper, if you don’t mind an explosive finale.

Now, let the veil part.

— Ishethra, ex Demon Lord of the Underworld
