1.- Summary
Do not believe in
everything they have tought you...,
because may be it is not the whole truth.
The world is
divided in seven Dimensions: Three ruled by the Good ones, three by Evil ones,
and one, which keeps them apart.
In this one, in
the fourth one...… a terrible war is taking place in order to conquer all the
dimensions. This fight is developed in
an unnoticed way and in forms difficult to recognize. It happens every
day in the streets, at work, at school, and even in our own houses… With the use of
weapons, of bear hands and teeth, or with the power of the mind and imposition
of ideals, even using magic… Manipulating others, with the abuse of power and
strength.
If Evil manages to
conquer this middle dimension, the equilibrium will be broken and the other
dimensions ruled by the Good, are in danger of been conquered too, because
in the good dimensions, Evil does not exist.
This dimension,
where good and evil have been fighting always, since the beginning of times, is known as Realdan, and
is the dimension were we all live, the world we know...
In this
dimension..., in our world, there exists one place that is the entrance portal
to all the other dimensions. This place is called: “The Enclosure of the Thousand Caves
Who commands these
Arcades will be able to circulate freely thrugh
them, to all the other dimensions. The forces of evil are after this magic
chamber in order to fight for it, and take possession...of tre hole creation.
Three kids,
accidentally discover this magic Chamber and become the guardians of the seven Arcades .
They become
“Andaluins”, and
with the help of their pets, their grandpas and the witch cooker of the house,
they protect the Chamber with courage and self giving from the King of
Evil, Belnaster´s intention of conquering it. They will have to fight with
incredible creatures of others dimensions, other planets, and even of other
times.
They will have to
face the terrible Metamorcorpus, the frightening Aracnodum, the horrible Putredecter
and many more. And
will meet fantastic beings that will help them to maintenance the equilibrium
of the universe: the
Roblents, the Hormitrons and Hormkell the unicorn, between others that will be
side to side with them, in this war against evil.
There are tough
times to come, and it seems that evil forces are winning, making wars all
around and creating misunderstandings, fear and lies among human beings, among
every living being of Realdan.
After thousands of
years, they have discovered the location of the magic Chamber and they are
ready to attack, in order to conquer it.
Only these three
kids and a mysterious character are between their plans...
¿What will happen?
¿Can evil reach its objectives?
2.- Synopsis
Lucia, Thomas and Santiago
As the summer goes
by, the children entertain themselves playing with their pets and by setting up
an investigation agency. They solve minor crimes and mysteries in the
neighborhood and generally help anyone in need of it. Meanwhile their
parents are dreading the fact that they have some bad news for the children.
Because of their financial situation they are going to have to move in with
their grandparents who live in a large and old house in another neighborhood
called “El Prado”. The children are
unhappy by the news but try to make the best of the situation.
When moving day
arrives, Nani and Papo, their grand parents, welcome them into their new home, along with Amanda their wonderful servant; an
elderly woman who somehow cooks, cleans, and manages the entire household
single-handedly.
Their grandmother
offers them an office for the investigation agency and they set out to solve
the mystery of their grandfather’s study. Papo has a secret study which
is off limits to everyone except Amanda. Not even Nani is allowed into
this room where their grandfather would spend long hours and from which strange
beams of light would often emerge.
Shortly after
Lucia finds a book on the coffee table which seems to have appeared out of
nowhere. It deals with myths and legends of “El Prado” and mentions the Chamber
of the Thousand Caves
Their
grandmother finds out what Lucia has been reading and it turns out to be a
forbidden book. While tending to Lucia’s recovery she explains that the book has
probably been planted in the house in order to use the girl to open a portal
from another dimension. She goes on to tell how there are many different
species of creatures which were once at war. A superior being named Gra
Ador divided them into different dimensions in order to bring peace. There are seven dimensions, the
lowest being the first. This is the one which closest resembles hell and
is ruled by an evil being named Belnaster who wants to take control of the
other six dimensions through the use of his minions, the Polidrugs.
Later on, Santiago Thousand
Caves
The children then
return to the basement in search of the Chamber of a Thousand Caves and find the
door which leads into it. They see the Seven Portals and a control center
which allows to travel between the dimensions to the time and place of their
choosing. Aside from this there are many other caves, each with a label
showing where they lead.
One of these labels reads grandpa’s study and the children decide to
enter. Papo is inside waiting expectantly and explains to the
children that he is an Andaluin. The children discover they too are Andaluins
and this has enabled them to open the door to the chamber.
When they return to the house they find that their uncle Agustin from Spain Santiago Santiago
Their grandfather can’t believe that Amanda is a traitor. After all, she
has been with them for many years and helped him to defend the chamber on
countless occasions. Unfortunately the circumstances leave him with
no other choice but to get rid of her. The fact that she must go
saddens the children even though they believe her to be guilty.
Soon after Amanda has gone Lucia strangely disappears and Agustin, Santiago Santiago Santiago
When Tommy asks
her why she interferes she explains that she has just returned from Spain
Suddenly Agustin
transforms into a huge dragon. Alone the children are no match for the
creature but they discover that by working together they have a chance.
They combine all three of their newly discovered powers and in this way the
dragon is defeated and the portal is closed before the infernal army can reach
it.
The chamber is in
ruins but the danger is past. Once again our dimension is safe and life
goes on for the children but from now on nothing will ever be the same.
They have accepted their roles in life as Andaluins and will remain united and
prepared in case evil ever returns to put us in danger.
3.- Marketing
the book
The Andaluins is
focuses for kids from 10 years and up to grown up people who have a child´s
soul inside. In these years I have met a lot of fathers that confess me that
they have bought the book for their son´s but once they have taken a look at
it, they get caught by it.
I’m sure the
readers are going to love it. It’s a book with lot of action, combining magic
with technology, ancient and hidden science with fantastic weapons; strange and
fantastic creatures combined with super natural events that have really happened,
or is presumed that has happened in the past: like Bermuda’s triangle,
Stonehenge, the Atlantes civilization, the Philadelphian experiment, Merlin the
magician, etc. But all these stories had a strong basement with a whole new
interpretation of the origin of times: a universe divided in seven dimensions
caused by an extreme global war that had devastated the earth since the
beginning of history.
The fact that the story
happens in a neighborhood like any other, the three principals characters are
kids like everybody with the same dreams and the same fears is another
ingredient of the story. Incredible things are happening to these three
children’s while the other people in the neighborhood, ignore it completely.
But beware because this could be happening right now in your own neighborhood.
I’ve already
visited more than 30 schools and colleges and spoken to more than 2000 students
that have read the book in class, and I can tell with property that they loved
it. All the boys have basically the same dreams; the same fantasies so I’m sure
North American boy are going to like it to.
Finally I want to
say that everything the kids decided to do, they make their decisions based on
values, those values without which, life in society is not possible.. Values
like love, compassion, honor, respect, honesty, comprehension, tolerance,
courage, etc.

5.- Final
thought
We writers have an
incredible opportunity that we can not waste: the fact that thousands may be
millions of children’s are reading our books. That is a fantastic opportunity
to leave something more than a good story, something to think about, something
that when the story is gone, the ideas don´t.
We are living in
though times, times that require from us all a compromise.
What we do now is
what our sons are gone to inherit. They are learning what we teach them. We
teach them with our actions. Don’t expect them to do better than we do, if we
don’t show them how.
Thank you for your
time. Gabriel Aznarez
