Solomon's Chimeras: The King

King Solomon: cultured, magnanimous, handsome, curious, human. Alchemist. On a cold night, in what we now call Israel, he holds Levi's body in his arms as if it were the greatest treasure he can ever have. He squeezes him and swears that he will not leave to death the privilege of taking away his only true friend. He then calls together courage and everything he has learned about the laws that govern a world stained with blood, heresy and invokes a sort of magic that, for the first time, brings a man back to life. The first of seven. The first of the Chimeras. Moving along the timeline, Solomon becomes master of the art called Alchemy, abandoning a body to slip into the next one and remaining alive, forever, but also to continue to protect his faithful creatures; until one day, one of his deaths seems to be the last. The Chimeras remain alone in a reality of shadows that hunts them, and all they can do is pretend to be human, still, hoping not to be captured.

Premise

Welcome to the chapters of this story dear reader; before starting your adventure I would like to tell you some things that, in my personal opinion, I think are necessary.

The work you are going to read is still in a "draft" state, so it may present errors, horrors, oversights and somewhat libertine punctuation. It will not cause you any trouble to report these details, so that I can fix them at the time of a new revision.

The plot features characters freely drawn from the real history, specific alchemy terms and words / phrases in different languages (of which the translation may not always be correct). At the foot of each chapter you will find a glossary with definitions, so don't worry if you don't understand the meaning right away.

You will come across a healthy dose of imagination and concrete facts, real information and others purely created for the occasion.

Having said that, I leave you to my draft, hoping that you will find in it a way of escape from everyday life, characters to whom you will become attached and an original adventure in which to immerse yourself completely.

Thank you for choosing to read the first volume of Solomon's Chimeras Series, The King.

Yours,

Ania
