An ancient coin holds the secret to preserve the magic of Aurelion, now vanishing in under the onslaught of new technologies. The young elven pickpocket Aik steals this coin from a drunken mage-in-training, and decides to keep it as his talisman, unaware of the peril involved. Kia, a young smuggler who pretends to be male in her full-body suit, saves the boy from trouble—and lets him unlock a thousand feelings in her heart…
Lights amidst Shadows is a creative team of enthusiasts from Kazanlak, Bulgaria. Initially dealing with book authoring, our club has expanded into many forms of traditional and modern art. We have published numerous books and have even more on the way. We have won a number of awards and distinctions but what matters most to us is that a reader who has come across a book of ours then wants to read the rest of them. We live in a small country and therefore have the advantage to keep in touch with many of our fans. What we learned from them was that people are looking for a contemporary fairytale, an adventure told in a new way, with characters from our times, whom the readers can identify with.
who, in spite of the shadowy political atmosphere in their post-communist home country, tell us a story about larger-than-life events on the mystical planet Aurelion. The planet is inhabited by people, elves, dwarves, kobolds, ogres and other mythical creatures, but it resembles our world in more than one way. Its denizens have turned their backs on their natural magical skills and talents and are now slaves of the modern world – technology, politics, entertainment, the easy way of living. One day, a homeless little elf steals an ancient coin from a drunk mage, and this is where our grand adventure begins, told in the vibrant voices of our collective of young authors.
Aurelion is a tale of another world, mirroring our own. Every character and every event contain a message of a better tomorrow, coming from the hearts of a handful of young people who keep the magic of creativity and the desire to be kind alive. Read it and find out for yourself.
We usually shoot a trailer for each book we write and Aurelion is no exception. We play our characters, design the costumes and sets, act as camera operators and film editors. You can watch the trailer on top of the page. Don’t forget to check out our youtube channel!
Aurelion:Eternal Balance is fully written. We’ve almost finished editing, the cover design is ready so we can get the book into your hands as quickly as possible. Hard copies will hopefully ship within a few months, with the digital version much sooner than that.
