I take advantage of this space to promote a story I'm writing together with my boyfriend: The Sand Masters.
It's a fantasy adventure set in an arabesque world where a young boy named Basim, the hero of the story, will find himself having to defend a precious object that could revolutionize the traditions of powerful elemental masters called "Masters of the Sand", that could bringing many benefits. But someone plots in the shadows to take possession of the magical instrument and use it for less noble purposes...
The story is available in both English and Italian. I would like to point out that, even if written in English, there may be many spelling errors and I apologize for this (English is not my main language), I still hope that the reading is smooth and the story is enjoyable. I leave you the direct link and a small incipit.

INCIPIT:
The "Sand".
The greatest discovery in the history of mankind, as dangerous as it is revolutionary.
It has nothing to do with the very common banal sand that can be collected on the ground, its value is of equal importance to that of diamonds and Damascus steel. There's more than one reason why even a handful of these grains are so important.
Becoming a Master of the Sand is a title coveted by many young people, but attainable only by a few. It is not a profession within everyone's reach, nor should it be treated lightly: when you study to become a Master, you must do it with reasons dictated by seriousness and conscientiousness, above all because the Sand must not end up in the hands of foolish and reckless people.
