Taglines
Long, long ago, in the Dark Ages of sorcery, lived a powerful, monstrous creature. Its talons tear. Its breath burns. It comes from a time of adventure. A time of wizards and spectacular magic. A time when dragons were real.

The Rise of the Dragonslayer
Taglines
What you thought was a medieval myth... is about to become ten times a rapacious reality. No maiden is safe, no village secure, and no one can save the kingdom - except the sorcerer's apprentice whose courage is greater than his skill. Call him what they will, only he can create a weapon worthy of the name Dragonslayer.
