Tales of the Wizard Lyr: The Curse of the Romanian Wizard

Preface

Back in the days of yore, between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, a wizard named Lear lived in the beautiful land of Ireland. His life was unusual and full of trials. The majestic Lear was imprisoned by Queen Serlaila, who longed to use his unique magical abilities to conquer new lands. Lear repeatedly saved the queen from insidious plots, predicting her future and helping her overcome her difficulties.

However, few people knew that the wizard Lear found his writing vocation by accident. Tormented by boredom and a thirst for creativity, he decided to write fairy tales inspired by letters sent to him by his beloved Miretta. In these letters she told him of her adventures and her search for magic, dreaming of a reunion with Lear.

One day Queen Serlaila read some of these tales and, admiring their beauty, decreed that Lear must compose two tales a week. Otherwise, she threatened to deprive the wizard of a finger for each tale that failed to meet the deadline. Incredibly, Miretta, this brave and dedicated soul, spent nearly fifteen years traveling, exploring the world and gathering inspiration for new stories of magic. She hoped that one day she would be able to reunite with her beloved Lear and give him her own amazing stories.

So begins our story of the wizard Lear, his magical abilities, his creative path and the great love that overcomes time and obstacles. Immerse yourself in the world of magic and fairytale adventures that await us on the pages of this book.

Tales of the Wizard Lyr: The Curse of the Romanian Wizard

In the Southern Carpathians, in the cozy town of Sinaia, lived a recluse named Ionut. He was known as the Romanian Wizard and sought to find the quietest place on earth. Six years ago, he left Transylvania and settled in Sinaia, where he found solitude on the outskirts of the town. There was a small population living here, and his home was far away from the hustle and bustle. Yonut did not have a farm of his own, for the animals were always making noise and disturbing him. However, he enjoyed tending to his vegetable garden, which was his refuge from the hustle and bustle of the world. In his free time he gave himself to this activity, enjoying the peace and quiet.
