'The Adventures of Andreux': The Story of a Young Man as He Traverses Several Kingdoms While Fighting the Forces of Evil from Within and Beyond

CALGARY, Alberta, Jan. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine yourself in a time and place where both ordinary and magical dragons fly in the sky, where time is measured in hogashes instead of years and the mysterious past of one young man is lost in a sea of secrecy. In this time lives a character named Andreux who studies the mystical powers of magic at an academy in Aranya. As Andreux grows older and wiser, he begins to ask his mother questions about his past, especially those pertaining to the mystery behind his father's death. Avoiding direct responses to his inquiring mind, Andreux's mother is overheard one evening speaking in hushed tones about her son's curiosity to the master. Although very quiet in their conversation, Andreux is able to make out a name: Veritus.

Srinivas Pabbaraju is proud to introduce his new release, "The Adventures of Andreux: Book One-Aranya" (published by iUniverse). Written as the first in a series of books, "The Adventures of Andreux: Book One-Aranya" is a story filled with dangers of all sorts from ruthless predators, cunning magic folk, evil sorcerers, spiteful foes and back stabbing friends.

Try as he may, the young wizard can do little to unravel the mystery of his ancestry or learn the identity of the one they call Veritus. One day while continuing to investigate answers to his looming questions, Andreux's world is turned upside down when strange occurrences begin to happen around him. Secrets hidden hitherto are revealed and he, along with his best friend Senfred, set out on an all-encompassing mission to reclaim his true identity once and for all.

"The people of Vauns have suffered enough. It's time for justice to prevail. Let us waste no more time. The time to avenge is upon is," he declared. "I want revenge, not just for myself, but for everyone who suffered under the new king."
