This is a classic geography book for children by author and educator Virgil M. Hillyer.

The Aeneid is one of the greatest works in all of world literature. It is filled with mythology, history, and archaeology; it is infused with patriotism, religious feeling, and pathos; it is rich in adventure and romance. As the story begins, a storm shipwrecks Aeneas and his Trojan followers near Carthage in North Africa. There, Aeneas falls in love with Dido, queen of Carthage. But the gods order him to leave for Italy. In despair, Dido commits suicide. Upon finally reaching Italy, Aeneas goes down into the lower world and learns about his future descendants, the Romans.

Arthur Cain was a hero to his city, the most accomplished and respected of the firefighters in his entire district. But when a call comes in from the so-called "Halfbreed Heights", the monsterfolk part of the city, Arthur's life gets flip-turned upside down.

In his illustrious career as a bard for the band known as Wanderlust, Bodrick has met countless beautiful women, slain untold foes, and done the impossible more times than he can count—not that that's saying much. It’s a good thing he has Plink Creamenickers, a mysterious and beautiful pixie from Court Creamenickers, to handle the math for him. But Bodrick’s golden retriever-like personality can be, ahem, hard for her to keep a leash on at times. It’s never long before his... certain extremities... lead him into one new escapade after another, broke or not.

If you would have told me a month ago that I'd be a dragon superhero living in a domed fantasy city in outer space, I'd have laughed in your face. If you added the detail that I'd have three awesomely cute roommates competing for my attention, I'd thank you for believing in me...but remain skeptical. Yet those things are both true, and life just keeps getting weirder, wilder, and more awesome. Well—mostly awesome. Turns out my unicorn roommate's soul is merged with an unhinged high elf in the same way I'm fused with my dragon half.

Now I've been taken to a demiplane between worlds where Dracula rules supreme, and all he wants is to... start a school for vampires? It turns out the next generation of vampire is built differently, and I'm in on the ground floor of that new enterprise. What's more, I have a unique suite of abilities that helps me further stand out from the crowd. So much, in fact, that I've started attracting the attention of multiple gorgeous women.

So, yes, I've established myself as a half-dragon superhero/celebrity in a weird space fantasy metropolis. And yes, in doing so I inadvertently attracted a harem of gorgeous monster girls. And, true, I seem to be the luckiest guy in the universe for many reasons...but...well...what was I saying again?

Now that I know what Dracula has planned for me, the pressure is on. Failure is hardly an option.... At the same time, if I'm supposed to one day preside over the Wallachian Vampires, how am I supposed to prove myself to those that are centuries older than me? I have to get stronger, be smarter. I have to succeed. Meanwhile, my rivals in House Wolf seem likely to call off the truce at any moment. Actually, that's the least of my worries. It turns out that there are legendary beings from other worlds trying to steal the Netherveil away from Dracula—and it's going to be my job to help defend it.

Claiming the solar dragon’s hoard was only the first step. It’s time for the Dream Girls and me to make our own “happily-ever-after,” but there’s still much to do. If the gods are absent from Meteoropolis, then I’ll play God in the meantime. I’ll fix this city with my cosmically vast array of solar dragon powers and banish the Void Cartel once and for all with the help of my friends and allies. I’ll use the secrets that my sister taught me to find ‘the Elloway’ and guide him home.

They say that all is fair in love and war. Well I guess it's a good thing that we have plenty of both. Framed for the murder of Elantrica Ilmora, Samuel was on the run—but not anymore. Reunited with family and old friends, he will have his day in court, heard by the king himself. But conflict lingers. Delsran has fled into the shadows, and a certain corrupt bishop has not given up on saving Aurora’s soul—even if it means seeing her dead.

When Brock sees an opportunity to address his personal existential dread once and for all, he jumps on it. It's not enough to live until the end of the universe; he wants to live happily with all his women and his family well beyond that. Will he find the answer he's looking for? Will he upgrade his bond with Ember Black, Lunaticia, Viperka, Petal, and Velvet? Will the Brock Point System finally be abolished? And how will the other ladies cope with his absence over the long weekend?

Barrett Bradshaw was living the life for a while. As the de facto leader of House Dragon at Nosferatu Academy, his peers and teachers alike held high hopes for him. That was largely because of who his rather famous father turned out to be. Sure, everyone at the academy was the scion of some family of demihumans or another, but only Barrett had an archangel for a parent.

Life in Meteoropolis is as eventful as usual. Whether it's Blossom the Flower Sprite campaigning to get the Nightmare Girls to join our Streamer House, the failures of the Brock Point System causing humorous drama, or multiple Dream Girls about to give birth, well, I've had my draconic hands full. But none of that scares me now that the Void Cartel is a thing of the past.

A BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of Virgil's sweeping epic, starring Ralph Fiennes as Aeneas and Derek Jacobi as the Narrator. One of the classics of all time, The Aeneid was Virgil's last and greatest work. In it, he recounts in vivid imagery the legendary origin of the Roman Empire. The story...

Riding high on their new status in the station known as Sphere, Dorian and the Dragon's Wing crew set their sights on a new adventure. Their mission? Take a shipment of cargo to Ixana, traversing the monster-infested Wyrmway. For once, they manage to double up jobs because there's a stretch of ruinspace in the exact same system that a mysterious foxgirl wants to visit.

The cult known as the Black Phoenix is hot on my tail, attempting to thwart me as I liberate monster women across the multiverse and bring them back to my castle. Worse yet, a half-sister I never knew I had is their champion. The only thing that can stop a Van Helsing is a Van Helsing, so I can’t afford to take her lightly. What’s more, I have to stay focused on my mission. But when there’s downtime.

In this exciting addition to the Incubus RA franchise, John Cutter finds himself romancing his way through the afterlife and facing all new perils in Horcross City. But is this the end of our hero? Obviously not! Fan-favorite ladies return, and interesting new characters are introduced for the very first time. From vampiric Dusk Elves to angels, demons, goblins, and more, John is ready and willing to stick his key in every lock to do right by his girls.

With an uninvited new crew member aboard, Dorian and the crew of the Dragon's Wing set a course for Sphere. Once there, it's not business as usual, exactly. Dorian finds himself making friends and enemies alike as he investigates some strange happenings. How is the Imperium involved? Are they? And just who is behind this strange cult?

John Cutter, recently promoted to official heir of the Sixth Circle of Hell, is about to have his world rocked by the annual Festival of Motherhood! Mythstone University has a special event for one weekend every year, and mommies from all over Horcross City visit their sons and daughters attending university there. As the director of his dormitory, John is going to play host to all the mothers of the ladies in his harem, and you can bet your big ol' booty that that's going to get messy.

John Cutter has sure got a lot on his plate. With a demonic incursion into Horcross City centered on his home, mother-daughter drama he's in the middle of, his baby dragons hatching, and his widely opposed coronation in the Sixth Circle of Hell, you should probably think twice before envying him. Sure, he's got the hottest harem of angels, demons, elves, half-orcs, goblins, and monster girls around, but.... No, wait. It still makes sense to envy him.
