AUTHOR’s NOTE

Writing "Alchemy of Shadows" was like to plunge into the most epic adventure ever! I mean create a world where skyscrapers touch stars and magic is just another part in everyday life. That's Seraphalia for you – impossible is to tell where the science ends and the sorcery begins in this city. It looked as if I was walking into a video game, only with the privilege of designing every level, every character, and every twist in the plot.

Aria Thornfield, our heroine, is one hundred percent badass yet totally relatable. She's got this inner fire to find the truth about her family and, let's be honest, who wouldn't want to solve a mystery that's also intertwined with magic and science? It was like putting pieces of a huge jigsaw puzzle together, only the pieces were her emotions, the secrets of Seraphalia which she could tell, and all these cool unexpected revelations.

And then there's the vibe of Seraphalia. It's not just a setting; it feels like it was a living, breathing character. One moment you are in a futurist tech fair, and the next moment you are in a marketplace where they sell potions and enchanted gadgets. It's this crazy mix of neon lights and ancient spells, hoverbikes and flying carpets.

Putting sci-fi and fantasy together is like putting my two favorite ice cream flavors together and finding out they taste amazing together. It's not just the cool tech or the awesome magic, it's about how they clash and blend and create something totally out-of-this-world.

That's what it felt like for me to write this book - a roller-coaster of ups and downs, twists and turns, and heart racing. I desired to make something that wasn't just a story but was like an experience, something that will create the feeling in someone like they are right there with Aria, finding the secrets from the diary and facing dangers.

"Alchemy of Shadows" isn't just a book I wrote; it's a piece of my imagination that I got to share with the world. It's about finding the extraordinary in the ordinary, the magic hidings right before your eyes, and power of secrets that forms a world. And honestly, I can't wait to see where Aria's journey takes her next – and mine too, as a writer and as a dreamer.
