Klappentext

A witch with no memories - hunted by the Spanish Inquisition...
Europe in an alternate reality, in the late 19th century after Buddha: the young Kaura lives as a shipwrecked girl suffering from amnesia in a prosperous Spanish-Ottoman colony on the Baltic Sea. When she discovers that she bears strictly forbidden magical abilities, she must flee and face her unknown past. An epic journey begins...

The first book in a series of six, "Prohibited Magic" is a gripping story of personal growth, the power of friendship, and the insatiable human urge to explore, set in a fascinating and detailed world where magicians, fairies, and aliens are as real as galleons, the Spanish Inquisition, and the Knights Templar of Rhodes. Volume 1, this book, is set in an alternate Europe remotely similar to ours in the late 16th century. Book 2 explores the Portal City of Pyrrha, the continent of Atlantis and another planet, Aalid. Book 3 is primarily set on Lemuria, in Siberia, the world inside of the earth, and in outer space. Book 4 moves between earth and other planets, while the final two volumes also cross between dimensions and realities.

"The entire story of the High Priestesses is already written", the author says. "It has been important for me to prioritise this, since I, personally, always regret having to wait years for the next volume of a good yarn to be available. Like this, we will be able to make Kaura's entire journey to save the universe as we know it available within a time frame of less than two years. Enjoy!"

Excerpt from the book: "A thin voice cleared its throat behind her. Surprised, Kaura spun around. Hovering at about head level was some sort of miniature creature, its shimmering purple, translucent wings making a faint buzzing sound, like one of the dragonflies that bred in the many ponds in the woods around Inmarsund during the summer. The wings were attached to the back of an almost surreal, beautiful blonde woman who measured no more than five or six inches from head to toe, just a little beyond the length of Kaura's hand. She wore only a short, irregularly shaped skirt and a strip of cloth over her bosom, which was very large for her small size. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you." The creature had a bright, cheerful voice. "Welcome to Lockwood House. May I help you? The reception hall for non-Gifted supplicants is over there. I'm Ariane, the guard fairy on duty." Grinning, she fluttered a little closer to Kaura's ear and lowered her voice slightly. "I know I don't look terribly dangerous. But I do know how to box." Again the bell-like laughter. "Just kidding. Of course, I have plenty of other ways to deal with unwanted intruders. So, are you coming?" She waved at Kaura with a perfectly manicured miniature hand. Her fingernails were painted purple to match the color of the fairy's wings. Kaura was still staring at her, fascinated. "Sorry. I've never met a fairy before - I think." "You think?" Ariane's voice went up an octave."I can tell you that if you had ever met one of my kind, you would be sure to remember! We fairies are not that easy to forget. Some say it's because of our ethereal beauty. Personally, I think it's because of our charming personalities and our vast vocabulary of profanities! Want to hear a dirty joke? So..."
