A story that weaves its fabric through the history of man and jumps and leaps around places and times spinning and twisting like a mad trout on a line. A tale of power, corruption, magic, honour and treachery; a tale of travellers and places they travel.

This book draws on historic events and it is always hard to know whether they are truth, a version of the truth or fiction. References to living people or those who lived are made with no claim to the character of the person. All other characters in this book are fictional; I hope.

Finally, to all those who keep the Roma story alive, the wonderful web sites that exist in spite of any prejudices that would stop the true story from getting through, I thank you all. The research and knowledge these sites (too many to mention here) offered was invaluable.

To all that read this book, go look for yourself and learn a little about one of the oldest civilizations in recorded history.

The Roma are also known as Gypsies, Rom, Rroma and Romani; the Roma are travelers.

This is a work in progress and I will post the chapters are I write them. Sit back and enjoy this journey; become a traveler with us.

You've just woken in the woods, away from everything you know. You're dazed and confused, unable to comprehend what's just happened. As you are coming to, images flash before your eyes of the last few days. Your parents were taken by the police, you were forced to run, to leave everything behind, to save yourself and your sister.

The year is 2415, the world has both evolved and devolved. It isn't how people imagined. Flying cars, robots in every house, telekinetic pencils. No, they are only in comic books. Self driving cars. No robots in houses, but workhouses instead. Telekinetic pencils... that's possible, if you are gifted with the power of telekinesis. There are dark truths hidden behind closed doors, that only few know. Truths that if they got out, would bring the downfall of the government. A government that has been deceiving people for generations. But they haven't been as careful as they thought, because 100 years ago, one guy found out their secrets. 100 years ago, one guy started the rebellion that would bring about the end. From burning books, rewriting history and breaking human rights, this government will stop at nothing to make it seem that they are doing good. But people have had enough, the secret came out before. It's only a matter of time until it happens again. This time by a group of people that no one expected. Together they work to find out the truth, but things have gotten worse over the last century and this may not only bring around the downfall of the government. Armed only the powers they were born with, the group do everything they can to discover the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But many have tried and failed, do they really stand a chance? Alexander doesn't think so, but his main concern is finding his sister, Rosia.

Introduction: Oz was once a land of magic and harmony, but under the rule of the cunning and oppressive Wizard of Oz, it has become a fractured kingdom. Magic, once a source of unity, is now a tool of fear and control. In the peaceful northern villages, a young wizard named Glanther lives a quiet life, using his gifts to heal and inspire his community through music. However, his world is shattered when the Wizard's forces arrive, demanding loyalty and taking his closest friend as a prisoner. Forced to confront the tyranny he once avoided, Glanther sets out on a journey to rescue his friend and protect his people. Along the way, he joins forces with Nerion, a fiery ally seeking his own family, and Glinda, a conflicted figure torn between loyalty and guilt. Together, they uncover the secrets of the Wizard's power, the legacy of Elphaba, and Glanther's destiny as the "Good Wizard of the North." In a tale of courage, redemption, and the enduring power of compassion, Glanther must rise to confront the Wizard and unite Oz against tyranny, proving that even the smallest light can guide a broken kingdom back to hope. !!Trigger Warning!! 📖✨ This novel, The Good Wizard of the North, is a creative spin-off inspired by the world of Wicked and The Wizard of Oz.
