Two teenage authors from Transylvania have published their debut fantasy novel, demonstrating that age presents no barrier to creative achievement. Daradics Fabienne Andreea and Emanuel, both in their early teens, have released "The Immortal City: It All Begins With One" through Dany Book Publishers LLC, launching what is planned as a trilogy that merges ancient mythology with modern adventure.
The novel follows 13-year-old Sebastian and his classmates as they discover that mythological creatures and demigods exist in reality, transforming an ordinary day in Houston into a dangerous journey involving monsters and prophecies. The story incorporates Sebastian's twin brother Thomas and their friends navigating battles and self-realization while encountering various gods, each possessing unique strengths and narratives. The authors emphasize themes of teamwork, loyalty, and sacrifice throughout the narrative.
Beyond its fantasy elements, the book explores friendship and the power of embracing one's identity. Through their young protagonists' struggles and triumphs, Fabienne and Emanuel convey a message that strength derives from unity, faith, and love rather than perfection. Their writing style combines humor and emotional depth with what they describe as a cinematic quality that feels both contemporary and classic.
"Writing Immortal City is more than merely creating a fictional world; it was about showing that young people can bring their big goals to reality," said co-author Fabienne Daradics. The authors aimed to create an environment where readers find confidence, acceptance, and possibility. Already receiving praise for its imagination and depth, the novel represents both a literary beginning and the emergence of new voices in fantasy literature.
The book's youthful perspective combined with thematic maturity creates what the authors describe as the story's magic, positioning it to appeal to readers who grew up with series like Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and The Chronicles of Narnia. Available worldwide in digital and print formats, the novel can be purchased through standard retailers including the Kindle Edition and Paperback Edition. The authors, who share a passion for storytelling, art, and fantasy, remind readers through their work that creativity knows no limitations and that friendship represents a powerful force.
