Jan. 17, 2009 - PRLog -- "Victor and the Sun Orb" -  (trade paperback, hardcover, 144 pages - USD11.95, ISBN 978-0-595-51212-6) is available through 25,000 online bookstores worldwide including Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com.

"It is my hope that everyone can enjoy this novel and recognizes new characters such as sun fairies in the fantasy genre, aside from embedding the value of family, love, and friendship against the cruel influences of greed, power, and self-centeredness," says Amy Nielsen. She's an avid reader of fantasy novels and this pushes her to write one herself.

The story evolves a young sun fairy prince, Victor, who enjoys a carefree life. But from an early age, he finds himself very busy. He learns complex magic and martial arts. He's even taught how to live in a human world, that's because of mortality spell cast upon him on the very day of his baptism.

A dark-hooded figure with eyes that burn like coal is to blame. On his thirteenth birthday, he will be forced to leave Solandia and live with humans, perhaps never to return. To find an antidote to the spell, Victor must face a quest and retrieve the sun orb, a source of magical power now in the hands of the dark-hooded figure. As he sets upon his quest, a war between the forces of light and darkness erupts. Good fairies wage battles with bad fairies even as the power in their wands fades.

Amy Nielsen was raised in the Philippines and earned a bachelor's degree in English from Saint Louis University, Baguio City. She worked in a youth center in different capacities giving her national and international exposures with young people, before working as Executive Staff in an importer/distributor company in Manila. She lives in Denmark with her Danish husband and is writing a sequel to Victor and the Sun Orb.
