Sinopse

Discover the timeless stories and grand romances from literary classics that helped create and define this beloved genre. In the #Romantasy Classics Collection, readers embark on wondrous journeys where passion intertwines with magic, ancient prophecies, and realms beyond the ordinary. The appeal of romantasy lies in its power to transport us into fantastical worlds brimming with enchantments and high-stakes adventure, all while capturing the intensity and warmth of a compelling love story. These novels enchant generation after generation, reminding us that heroism often thrives when hearts are on the line.
William Morris's The Wood Beyond the World lays a foundational blueprint for modern fantasy, following a hero drawn into a realm of supernatural intrigue and peril. Here, devotion takes shape amid illusions and shifting allegiances. In The King of Elfland's Daughter by Lord Dunsany, the mortal Alveric dares to venture into the immortal realm of Elfland, spurred by love for its princess. Their union faces obstacles from both magic and human skepticism, revealing the cost of bridging two disparate worlds.
George MacDonald's Lilith explores life, death, and rebirth in a mystical universe where love must conquer formidable darkness. H. Rider Haggard's She introduces the immortal Ayesha, whose centuries-long loneliness shapes her fierce heart. Her profound bond with the explorer Leo Vincey becomes both her salvation and her undoing, demonstrating how passion can be as perilous as any sorcery. Edward Bulwer-Lytton's Vril: The Power of the Coming Race ventures underground to reveal a hidden society endowed with fearsome abilities. Within this new world, connections blossom between visitors and hosts, suggesting that even the strangest of powers cannot quench genuine affection.
Robert E. Howard's The Hour of the Dragon follows Conan the Cimmerian, a warrior-king resurrected by dark forces. Amid grand battles, his steadfast devotion for those he vows to protect remains a beacon of hope. In The Ship of Ishtar by Abraham Merritt, two souls from different eras are bound by an enchanted vessel, forging romance on storm-tossed seas where gods and mortals intersect. William Hope Hodgson's The Night Land explores a dying Earth, where the last remnants of humanity cling to life, and love endures as an unbreakable force, illuminating even the most despairing darkness.
Witch of the Demon Seas by Poul Anderson charts the bold exploits of a woman who fights both pirates and sorcery, forging alliances that hint at love's redemptive powers. Lastly, William R. Bradshaw's The Goddess of Atvatabar leads us to a utopian inner-earth kingdom, where passion and faith challenge the boundaries of the known world. Together, these stories prove that when romance blossoms within realms of enchantment, its allure resonates across time and imagination.
