Few mythological creatures have seized the human imagination as completely as the dragon, and Dragons of Light — edited by the celebrated Orson Scott Card — presents one of the most ambitious anthologies ever assembled in their honour. This landmark collection gathers original stories and stunning artwork from some of fantasy's most talented voices, united by a single, magnificent obsession: the dragon in all its terrible and wondrous forms. From benevolent serpents of ancient lore to shadowy beasts born of pure nightmare, each contribution conjures a creature utterly unique yet unmistakably draconic. Card's editorial vision gives the collection a rare cohesion, balancing literary ambition with visceral, imaginative power — a testament to his instinct for storytelling that would later define his own legendary career. The anthology stands as a vivid cultural artifact of early 1980s fantasy, capturing a genre at the height of its creative ferment, where art and prose were considered equally vital to world-building. With interior design by Michael Goodwin elevating the visual experience to match the richness of the writing, Dragons of Light is an irresistible invitation into a world where the impossible takes magnificent, fire-breathing form.
