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 couldn’t 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 .

This smouldering hatred wasn’t a problem, though, as long as a magician sat on the throne . . .

Mïna 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 Østergaard Søberg was born in 1987 and grew op in Aabenraa. In 2007, she moved to Århus to study chemistry at university and is now finishing her bachelor’s 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:

”Get all the books you can!” I commanded. Senna and Ylvi didn’t

even question the order, but rushed around among the shelves.

The Cartographer’s 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 don’t 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

flickered searchingly across the floor and up the shelves until

it met Senna’s calm, intense eyes. ”Ylvi, shut and bolt the other

door,” she said without letting me go.

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 Kara’s 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 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 .

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. 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.

Excerpt:

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.

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 SOL’s surprising victory during the Loortech race’s 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 SOL’s remaining fleet is deployed in a desperate last-ditch attempt to take the enemy by surprise .

But SOL’s 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 knife’s edge . . .

Ragnarok is the sixth and final book in the Solar series .

Brian Roland Larsen was 17 years old when his debut novel “Solar Invasion”, the first book in the series, was published.

Nikki and Victor like to play spies . But when they try to help the 16-year-old Mads, it is suddenly no longer a game . Mads is on the run from some criminals, and Niki and Victor quickly become embroiled in a dangerous case involving violence and stolen money .

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

Anne Mette Asp (born in 1966) is trained as an organist from the Copenhagen Academy of Music, and she also holds a bachelor in theology. She has written story from the age of eight, and has a special passion for thrill and fantasy. “The Spy Agents and the Hunt for Mads” is her debut novel.

Excerpt:

”I’m coming out to get you!” he shouted furiously. ”If the others

don’t catch Mads, you’d better show me where he’s 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.
