So... My life was pretty normal until... 1) My mother died. 2) My dad killed her. 3) And...I lodged a case on him as he killed her. Yeah, I know. My life is pure shitty. And do you what else makes it weird and shitty? The visions I get! See, I won't even be guilty to send my dad to prison 'cause I remember nothing about him. I only faintly remember mom too. Anyways... And then some weird monster decides to attack our school and Naya goes Egyptian sky goddess. (nuts) Hehe. Soon we find out that she is a 'that "m" word'. She tells us that we are magicians too! And then (*dramatic drum roll*).....The......quest begins. There is a home land of magicians. M-O-N-A-S-T-A-S-I-A It's a whole new planet between Earth and Mars. The planet was destroyed ages ago by a group of people which we have to bring back in 5 days, else it's pieces will crash on Earth and destroy the humanity completely. And the weirdness doesn't end here. We have to defeat a 'Dark Lord' too. He was a maniacal god who became a magician with the help of another magician. We have to kill him because if we don't then, he would kill us, which doesn't sound nice (and is a bit confusing) (*wink*). *** This is the first book of Monastasia series. The next book is "The Chained Goddess". The prequel is "Becoming A Grey Villainess". This is my first book and it may have some grammatical errors. Please point them out in comments.

A creation of a human and a Jinn, Xynar is a never-seen-before book of sorcery. When someone opens Xynar, it sucks them inside of it, and throws them into an alternate world of magic, where they need to fend for themselves and survive. Throughout their journey Xynar will remain present with them; it has blank pages, and it narrates the experience of its victim. When its pages become full, it means that the person has survived for long enough, and officially conquered the challenge of Xynar, and is worthy of returning to the real world. Xynar's third victim, Alan, has been put on the 7 island chain, Gwaxyguen, of the AZ Planet. Alan will later find out that he needs to learn the types of magic that are specific to each native citizen of each of the islands, to be able to unlock the strongest magic of all, existential magic, and face the 2 gods of the planet to try and fix what their cynical acts have ruined. Alan will either win the fight, which would end Xynar's pages and teleport him back to the real world, die fighting the gods, or have his journey abruptly cut off on one of the islands.
