About this ebook
More than 30 years after Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal first appeared on screens, the Jim Henson Company hosted an author quest to find the new author of The Dark Crystal prequel fiction. The competition spanned three months and nearly 500 entries, the top five of which are presented in this e-book only special. Through the eyes of Gelfling and telling tales of Skesis, these 5 stories are a taste of what is to come in the world of Thra.

I couldn't put this book down I wished for more at the end of every story. All of the authors did a wonderful job of bringing to life the characters and the worlds of the Dark Crystal!!
