Two young authors from Transylvania, Daradics Fabienne Andreea and Emanuel, have published their debut fantasy adventure novel, 'Immortal City: It All Begins With One,' through Dany Book Publishers LLC. The book follows 13-year-old Sebastian and his classmates in Houston as they discover that mythological creatures and demons are real, embarking on a dangerous journey involving demigods, monsters, and a prophecy that could change their lives. The narrative combines action with moments of humor and warmth, exploring themes of teamwork, loyalty, and sacrifice through encounters with various gods.
The authors, both in their early teens, emphasize that the story is more than fantasy; it conveys a message about the power of unity, faith, and love, rather than perfection.

The novel has been praised for its imagination and depth, positioning it as the first installment in a trilogy and introducing new voices in modern fantasy literature.

The book is available worldwide in digital and print formats, including a Kindle Edition and a Paperback Edition. This debut highlights the growing diversity in fantasy literature, as young authors bring fresh perspectives to a genre often dominated by established writers, potentially inspiring other aspiring young writers to pursue publishing.
The impact of this release extends beyond entertainment, as it underscores the importance of youth creativity in the publishing industry. By addressing themes like identity and friendship, the book resonates with readers seeking relatable narratives in fantasy settings, which could influence future trends in young adult literature. The authors' success from Transylvania also adds geographic diversity to the fantasy genre, showcasing global talent and expanding the reach of mythological storytelling.
