Amy Nielsen from Frederick Andersen Street is fond of the fantasy universe of Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling and has always dreamt of writing fantasy/adventure books for children and young people.

Originally from the Philippines, this woman has come out with her English debut-novel "Victor and the Sun Orb", published by iUniverse and offered internationally through internet book shops.

Besides Rowling's universe, the novel has also a touch of "Star Wars" and "Lord of the Rings".

"Victor and the Sun Orb" is the first part of a trilogy about Victor and his battle against the wicked, which has seized the power of the sun orb.

"The novel aims to entertain and stimulates children's fantasy. They will be ushered in a new world, Solandia, where they can explore the sun fairies' magical world," says amy Nielsen.

There are lots of action and fantasy in the story, and at the same time the children learns to appreciate the family, love, and friendship more than greediness, desire for power, and egoism.

A dark, hooded figure casts a spell on Victor 

Amy Nielsen together with her husband Steffen Nielsen has lived in Kalundborg for 3 years now. They met in Copenhagen while Amy was visiting relatives in Denmark.

She has a bachelor's degree from Saint Louis University in Baguio City, Philippines, and currently works in Novo in Kalundborg, and does her writing during weekends.

The fantasy novel's main character, Victor, should enjoy a carefree life, but from an early age, he finds himself very busy. He must learn complex magic and martial arts, and is taught how to live in a human world.

It's all because his parents, King Godfred and Queen Magenta know of a curse, which is casted on the son upon his birth by a dark, hooded figure with eyes that burns like coal. On his thirteenth birthday, their beloved son will leave the fantasy kingdom of Solandia, loose his mortality and live with humans.

In order to be free from the spell, Victor must retrieve the mystical sun orb, a magical power, which has fell in the hands of the dark, hooded figure. Challenging him breaks out war between the forces of light and darkness. The good fairies against the bad fairies.
