Fantasy & SciFi

Discover the timeless stories and legendary heroes from literary classics that helped create and define this beloved genre. In the #TheChosenOne Classics Collection, you'll encounter epic quests, heroic destinies, and characters marked by fate to stand against overwhelming odds. These tales remain beloved because they tap into our desire for purpose and adventure, showing how one ordinary individual can alter the course of history or transcend mortal boundaries. The Iliad by Homer brings us Achilles, a warrior foretold to achieve everlasting glory. Though burdened by prophecy, his prowess and tragic choices shape the outcome of the Trojan War. Virgil's The Aeneid follows Aeneas, who flees the fallen city of Troy and accepts the gods' mandate to establish a new homeland—ultimately paving the way for the birth of Rome. The anonymous poem Beowulf focuses on a fearless hero chosen to rid the land of monstrous threats, only to confront an even mightier foe in his final stand. In The Saga of Volsungs and Niblungs, Sigurd wields a sword re-forged from shards of his father's blade, slaying dragons and defying curses, all while bearing the weight of a doom-laden destiny. Gudrid the Fair by Maurice Hewlett spotlights the titular Gudrid, whose remarkable voyages and preordained experiences embody the pioneering spirit of Viking lore. Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur presents King Arthur, the boy fated to draw the sword from the stone and unite a kingdom, surrounded by prophecies and mythic challenges. William Morris's The Well at the World's End features Ralph, an unlikely champion driven by a grand quest to drink from a fabled well, ensuring he fulfills a destiny far beyond his humble origins. In L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dorothy, an ordinary girl from Kansas, unwittingly becomes the pivotal figure in a magical realm, proving that even the most unexpected individual can be chosen for greatness. Robert E. Howard's The Shadow Kingdom follows King Kull, a warrior who rises to rule the ancient land of Valusia. Though haunted by supernatural threats, he dares to confront sinister forces few others can face. Finally, H. P. Lovecraft's The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath finds Randolph Carter journeying through eerie dreamscapes, compelled by mysterious visions to pursue hidden truths reserved for one destined dreamer alone. Each story in this collection demonstrates the enduring power of the chosen one archetype. Through courage, sacrifice, and unwavering resolve, these heroes remind us that sometimes greatness is thrust upon those strong enough—or bold enough—to accept it.
