The royal family in the palace garden on a bonding day, three children meeting their griffin hatchlings

THE BOOK

Three tales, read aloud in one sitting

Volume One gathers the first Bedtime Tales into one book. Each tale is a short illustrated story set in the Golden Age of Kaedral — the kingdom is safe, the sun still shines on the South, and the biggest adventure in a child's day is a griffin who will not settle down for the night.

The stories follow Prince Adam, Princess Tereza, and Kaya in the year their griffins have just come home from the mountains: lap-sized, fledgling, and full of trouble. Twelve to sixteen spreads a tale, written to be read aloud in one sitting, with a refrain a child can join in on and a closing line they will start saying back to you.

Wonder over peril, warmth over stakes, and every tale ends with someone fast asleep.

INSIDE THE BOOK

Kaedral at its gentlest

Soft light, small griffins, and a kingdom where nothing worse than bedtime is coming.

  • Prince Adam and the griffin Solara at an open garden gate above the harbour at first light
  • A child and a baby griffin at a glowing garden archway at dusk
  • Two griffins gliding over the town's warm rooftops while a child holds a smaller griffin in the lane below
  • Prince Adam and his griffin Solara on the city wall, watching the sun set over the bay

INSIDE VOLUME ONE

Three tales to end the day

  • Prince Adam and the griffin Solara at an open garden gate above the harbour at first light

    Tale One

    Just a Little Farther

    Adam and Solara slip out at first light, while Stormhold is still sleeping. Just as far as the wall. Then just as far as the gate. Then just a little farther.

  • A child and a baby griffin at a glowing garden archway at dusk

    Tale Two

    How Lumina Came to Kaya

    An origin tale: the night a small girl is chosen by a griffin marked with a six-pointed star, and nothing in Kaedral is quite ordinary again.

  • Two griffins gliding over the town's warm rooftops while a child holds a smaller griffin in the lane below

    Tale Three

    The Day Solara Tried to Fly

    Prince Adam's griffin is sure she's ready for the sky. She is not. A story about patience, soft landings, and trying again tomorrow.
