Introduction

A warm and loving greeting to all readers who have chosen to follow the fantastic adventures of the Kingdom of Wizards.

The first chapter is titled "The Key to Magic" and is part of an ambitious project; the creation of a series of fantasy stories with the desire to free the imagination and bring the reader with the author elsewhere from this world. A world where heroes and evil characters with powers; thirsty for ambition and success, knights errants, invincible warriors, wizards and sorcerers. A world where there are terrifying and wonderful creatures; colorful, rich and flourishing landscapes and arid, cold lands in which it is impossible to survive. There are many ways to start an adventurous journey that lead to victory or defeat, to find or lose the desired object.

A world where fate, fortune and Gods often write the history of heroes and their antagonists.

Breaking out the monotony of everyday routine and fly with your mind wherever there is no boredom.

This is the purpose of the Kingdom of Wizards, to wrap the reader with the cloak of curiosity of the imagination or sitting on the couch of it.

“I decided to write down the adventures of these supernatural characters in black and white because, I don't have the capacity to explain it to you,but it's like they are alive in my head. After reading some fantasy novels or watching movies and TV series they would emerge in my thoughts. Often I'm not satisfied with how other authors' stories end, so I decided to write what I imagine, and give the ending I want to be. It wasn't easy to transfer in words my imagination, but I enjoyed it a lot.

Then I discovered the possibility of self-publication and after getting informed, I decided to try this path of sharing my story with the audience.

And here we are: the Key to Magic is the first chapter of the “The Seals of the Altior. "

The Seals of the Altior 1 - The key to magic

The Seals of the Altior 2 - Hombros' carousel

The Seals of the Altior 3 - The Altiors

The Seals of the Altior 4- The Eternal Forest

I recommend reading to an audience over 13 years of age as there are descriptions of battles and some scenes that can be gory.

The author

Gabriele Pratesi was born in Arezzo in 1985.

He graduated with the title of electrical engineer and works in an automation company.

He volunteered as an emergency animator at the Don Bosco Salesian Oratory for over ten years.

He is an amateur writer at first experience and has chosen the path of self-publication. The desire to start writing came by chance from reading some novels and watching television series inspired by them; he was not satisfied with the plots, often repetitive and obvious, or the endings.

He is passionate about the genre of Fantasy, adventure, science fiction and everything that stimulates the purest human emotions linked to imaginary, epic, chivalrous universes, far from the normal lifetime.

It is inspired by the great literary masterpieces such as "The Lord of the Rings", "The Hobbit", "Harry Potter", "The Knight of Eron" and by the classic and epic poems, so he is looking for a different story, original with an unexpected ending and therefore not obvious and not trivial, trusting in his characters and their adventures.
