by V. R. CardosoLa Magia ti rende invincibile… … se prima non ti uccide. Lo chiamano il Mezzo Principe e ha sempre sentito ghignare alle proprie spalle. Essere il figliastro dell’Imperatore non è facile: relegato nell’ala della servitù, ad Aric è raramente permesso di vedere la madre, l’Imperatrice, e mai, in nessun caso, può incontrare il fratellastro, il Principe. Mentre il resto della famiglia imperiale festeggia nelle grandi sale del palazzo, Aric li osserva da lontano, sognando la vita che avrebbe potuto avere. Se solo avesse il potere di liberarsi… L'oggetto era atterrato ai suoi piedi con un tonfo, ma era caduto dal nulla e Aric aveva capito cosa fosse ancor prima di sfogliarlo: un Manuale di Magia.

Se ti piacciono gli sviluppi imprevisti, gli intrecci del mondo magico e l’avventura, allora ti appassionerai a questa storia avvincente.
