This is the beginning of a journey full of magic, mysteries and secrets. And everyone is invited to enter this new world!

In more than 180 pages, you can start a journey that will take you through paths full of adventure and magic. A story for everyone, which shows us that fantasy has no age limit to be read.

Enerelis is one of Earth's three parallel worlds. At peace for fourteen years, it is populated by several races and creatures that were born thanks to the existence of two opposing forces, Nox and Aether, granting its inhabitants extraordinary abilities. It is in this world that Eyren Caeli, a 12-year-old boy, begins his long journey to accomplish his only goal: saving his best friend. However, his past haunts his every step.

Like the journey of our young protagonist, the creation of the Chronicles has also been quite a journey: the script was built between 2008 and 2015, and was planned to be a comic book series with manga influences.

In 2018, it started the adventure of turning the script into sequential art. And now it is the very best opportunity to share the beginning of this journey with everyone who loves parallel worlds, magic and a story full of secrets. There will be some mystery too and a pinch of fun. Scroll down the page for more on a .PDF that introduces you to the Enerelis universe.

This is the start of a new series that will bring much more stories and fantasy to comics. In this phase, in more than 180 black&white pages, every single character will show us that, to fulfil their goals, they have to find the value of sacrifices.

Therefore, it is time to publish and spread the word about the first volume. With your help, Enerelis will come to life. This world it is only possible if it is lived by everyone.

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a singe step", said Lao Tzu one day. And I would love to take this step with you!

Everyone is invited to enter this new world!
