For centuries, the realms have whispered of monsters-dragons that breathe worlds aflame, titans born from stone, spirits woven from air, and ancient horrors that slither beneath the earth.
Most dismiss these tales as legends.
But Kaelen Dregg knows better.
Scholar. Wanderer. Reluctant hero.
Armed with ink, steel, and a boundless hunger for truth, he journeys across the wild edges of civilization to record what others fear to face. Each entry is a fragment of knowledge wrestled from peril, each sketch a testament to survival, and each observation a warning to those who follow.
The Illuminated Codex of Monsters is his life's work-part field diary, part historical ledger, and part plea to future generations.
Within these pages lie encounters with dragons, elementals, aberrations, and sentient beings of impossible design... along with reflections on the fragile line between monstrosity and misunderstood life.
This is not merely a book.
It is a chronicle of the world's wonders and terrors, written by the one adventurer stubborn or foolish enough to seek them.
Turn the page.
Learn, question, and beware...
For knowledge is the sharpest weapon of all.
