Fantasy YA – The Mysterious Soldier – Part 1 (PROLOGUE)
Selunia let out a sigh, then raised one hand in the air, aimed it at Elis like a gun, and concentrated on the attack.

Selunia wanted to be cautious.

Chapter 10 – Mysterious Soldier – Part 1 (The Arid Kingdom series, Book #1)
Vittria’s plan was a success: Soris had been surprised by her appearance. He stared baffled at her for three seconds, trying to make something of the bizarre creature that had appeared out of thin air beside him. “Good evening, Your Highness!” she said in a sarcastic tone. She leaned herself on one leg, posing to […]
Continuation of Chapter 9 – Mysterious Soldier – Part 1 (The Arid Kingdom series, Book #1)
Up on the faintly illuminated terrace, Soris was on the large balustrade of marble. He stood straight, with legs a bit apart and arms left freely by his sides. He gazed at the sparkling spectacle given by the multitude of stars filling up the sky. The cool breeze went in mild whiffs along him, calming […]
Chapter 9 – Mysterious Soldier – Part 1 (The Arid Kingdom series, Book #1)
Time flew rapidly, setting the day to sunset. Bored, Selunia lay on her back on her new bed. All her enthusiasm had drained away almost completely.

Soris got out of his father’s office. He closed the door behind him, then looked left and right, disoriented, down the spacious hall he had just entered. Everything looked just like it had five years before the burst of the great battles: the same long golden-yellow carpet with brown stripes and green-blue geometrical figures; the […]
Chapter 7 – Mysterious Soldier – Part 1 (The Arid Kingdom series, Book #1)
Inside the palace, Soris was talking to his father. The king seemed to have forgotten about the morning quarrel. He was looking, relaxed but focused, at some documents. They were in a modest-sized room with two desks, and wooden furniture adorned with decorative sculptures. On the floor, a dark red carpet emphasized the sensation of […]
Chapter 6 – Mysterious Soldier – Part 1 (The Arid Kingdom series, Book #1)
Selunia sat alone, deeply sunken into her thoughts. The car had been stopped at a crossing because the general had something to verify nearby. She, at least for that moment, didn’t long for the White Castle, the place that had been her home for twelve years and, in fact, even more—taking into account the years […]
Chapter 5 – Mysterious Soldier – Part 1 (The Arid Kingdom series, Book #1)
Shortly after finishing with the small office matters, Soris went to one of his favorite places in the palace: the superior terrace. It was a large terrace situated on the third level. He liked it for the panoramic view it offered, and because it was a secluded zone, away from the indiscreet eyes of the […]
Chapter 4 – Mysterious Soldier – Part 1 (The Arid Kingdom series, Book #1)
In his room, the prince, as soon as he heard the door shutting after Daniel’s departure, let his shoulders fall into relaxation and humped a little under the pressure of the fatigue felt at the back of his head, in his limbs, and in his stomach. He had only pretended to be all right. Lethargically, […]
