Having grown up on the magical world of Dungeons & Dragons, I can attest to its power in igniting imaginations and fostering a love for storytelling.

Ten Speed Press is planning to launch a second collection for their series of guides designed for young adventurers, set to hit shelves later in the year. Titled “The Young Adventurer’s Collection Box Set 2,” this new release will include four exciting Dungeons & Dragons books that allow readers to dive deep into the enchanting magic and mythical creatures from the iconic 50-year-old tabletop role-playing game series. The books are penned by authors Jim Zub, Stacey King, and Andrew Wheeler, providing a beginner’s guide to some of the characters, settings, beasts, and magical aspects essential for crafting thrilling Dungeons & Dragons adventures for young enthusiasts.

The descriptions on the Penguin Random House website for the upcoming boxed set mention that it contains these foundational guides:

Keep Beasts & Behemoths close at hand–this manual of monsters might save your life! This immersive bestiary introduces you to D&D’s most memorable monsters, from the smallest demiliches to the most dangerous rocs.
