Excerpt:

At the dawn of time, the people on the island of Kvinitsh discovered

the extra vocal chord which creates magic when you sing or play the
flute. This gift from the gods turned out to be both very useful and a
source of great enjoyment. But there were those who couldnt take part
in the common joy. Among the people of Kvinitsh, a consensus spread
that these antimagicians did not deserve magic; they were not worthy.
As time went by, a deep hatred
for the blessed took root in the
antimagicians.

Get all the books you can! I commanded. Senna and Ylvi didnt
even question the order, but rushed around among the shelves.
The Cartographers desk was quickly covered by the pile of
books. The Cartographer himself ran to the antechamber and
locked the door with an old golden key. You dont have much
time! he shouted, just as the first guard attacked the fragile
door. Quickly, I drew my flute from my belt, but my shaking
fingers lost their grip and dropped it on the floor. Damn it! My
voice was shrill. The guards thundered against the door which
creaked perilously; the hinges squeaked defeatedly. My gaze

This smouldering hatred wasnt

a problem, though, as long as a
magician sat on the throne ...

flickered searchingly across the floor and up the shelves until

it met Sennas calm, intense eyes. Ylvi, shut and bolt the other
door, she said without letting me go.

Mna lives a quiet life in a small

village, until the fateful day when
she must pass the magic test. The
one thing that must not happen
does, and everything is changed
both her view of the world and
of herself. She is thrown into a
wild adventure which brings her
to faraway places to fight a fight
she never knew existed. What
are the Dragon Mountains really
hiding?

Mette stergaard Sberg was born in 1987 and grew op in

Aabenraa. In 2007, she moved to rhus to study chemistry at
university and is now finishing her bachelors degree. She has
a great love for the fantasy genre and reads and writes a lot
herself. The Secret of the Dragon Mountains is her first novel.

Excerpt:

The story follows two young people, Zack and Kara, who both come
from a nearly perfect metropolis called Witrome in the futuristic
and high-tech world of Ilvaian. Technology is the foundation of this
advanced society which exists in a state of harmony. When Zack and
Karas autumn holiday begins, two mysterious men who look like
someone from BOTT (Beginning of Technology Time) try to kidnap
them. They fail, however, and Zack and Kara find a mysterious object
which brings them to the other world of Curania, where magic
flourishes and is a part of nature. Here, the forces of good are under
attack from the most powerful wizard of Curania, Morgus, who
attempts to expand his power through
evil.
At first, everything seems amazing
and exciting, but unexpected events
mean that they are sentenced to
death in Curania and wanted by the
authorities back home in Witrome.
This makes the friendships and
alliances they forge on their way
doubly important, but it also means
that their new enemies become even
more terrifying.

They look around, panicked. They have been surrounded by

the dark figures, one of them standing out. He is wearing black
clothes with a red pattern, suggesting that he is the leader. He
looks at them and all their eyes light up. Take her, he says and
raises his hands, paralyzing Zack and Kara.
NO! Not again! cries Zack who can still move his head.The
other figures move to grab Sirea. NOOO! cries Zack, and a
weak light appears around him. He manages to free his hand
and strikes at one of the figures. He runs towards the leader and
before he has the time to see what is happening, Zack kicks him
down.
HELP, shouts Sirea, who is being dragged away by the figures.
Kara picks up the sword of the dazed figure and charges at the
others. Just as she swings at them, a powerful flash of light
erupts, followed by smoke, and they are gone.

Stephen Dyva was born in 1987. Originally from the west of Zealand, he has now
moved to Viborg in Jutland to become a computer graphics artist at the Animation
Workshop.

They are tested both physically and

mentally, living constantly on the
edge of death, and end up becoming
important players in the fight to save
Curania from Morgus. On the way,
they learn that magic might have
more to do with the world than just
being a few tricks in Curania.

He spends a lot of his spare time drawing, watching films and

playing computer games. He has always had a great interest in
science fiction and fantasy literature. In 2002, he had the idea
for The Dimensions of Magic and began building the plot for
the series, starting work on the first book soon after.

The Solar series:

Solar 1 - Invasion (2001)
(Invasion)
431 pages.
ISBN: 87-90958-23-3

It is the year 3617. Dark clouds are gathering around SOL, the united
mankind, who now choose to risk everything in one desperate move...
After SOLs surprising victory during the Loortech races assault
on Earth, mankind strikes back and during a large-scale series of
counterattacks, several planets are are reconquered.
However, it is only a matter of time before war will erupt again on
the edge of the human sector, the new leader of the enemy invasion
forces are gathering the most massive armada so far in the history
of the war. When Admiral Brichzor and the head of the intelligence
service, Beckett, learn of this, they decide to strike back with
everything they have. All of SOLs remaining fleet is deployed in a
desperate last-ditch attempt to take the enemy by surprise.
But SOLs biggest triumph might not be found in the will to strike
back but in a chosen few who are in a unique position to change
the course of the battle. The vengeful and suicidal soldier Arix, the
ex-smuggler Keiron Hornet and the genetically manipulated super
weapon known as Khyros are all going to play a pivotal role behind
the scenes in what will be the end game of this war.
Even if SOL should win, the victory may prove to be meaningless. For
during the war, the military has antagonized a lot of people, not least
the Government, to achieve its goals, and in the shadows a new threat
lurks. An entirely new kind of enemy, who manipulates and twists
those who up until now have stood together, and makes the world
itself balance on a knifes edge...

Excerpt:

is on the run from some criminals,
and Niki and Victor quickly become
embroiled in a dangerous case

money.
This is the first volume in the Spy
Agents series.

135 pages.

Im coming out to get you! he shouted furiously. If the others

dont catch Mads, youd better show me where hes hiding, or
else!
To my horror, he grabbed hold of the branch and I was sure
it would break if if it had to carry his weight, too. Carefully, I
crawled out even further, right out to the thinnest part. The
branch swayed dangerously up and down, the dark water was
right below me and I felt a chill run down my spine as I looked
into the bottomless deep.
