Por estas páginas desfilarán Hadas, dragones, elfos, caballeros, brujas y princesas. Además de encantos y hechizos fantásticos. Se adentrará en los bosques más fantásticos e imaginativos, pero a la vez sombrios y plagados de seres sobrenaturales, donde heroes bisoños o tal vez legendarios, por no decir quijotescos, descubriran reinos perdidos donde se convertiran en audaces caballeros diestros con la espada, quienes trataran de salvar a bellas princesas y salvaguardar el bien de las siempre acechantes fuerzas oscuras, trotara a lomos de un brioso corcel , o caminara a traves de ensoñadores y exuberantes parajes hasta encontrar el claro de un bosque lacado por la rojiza luz del atardecer, el lugar idoneo para comenzar un emocionante e interminable viaje iniciatico que nos acercara a mundos iridiscentes donde todavia reina el ensueño del arco iris, reinos donde las espadas y brujeria todavia campan a sus anchas y deseara en lo mas profundo de su corazon que estas historias jamas terminen.
