"Graham Downs opens the door to a fantasy world in his short story, A Petition to Magic, a world of emotions, trust, self-searching and enchanted characters that will definitely leave readers wanting more."
Queen Celeste rose to the throne of Virdura a month ago, after the sudden death of her mother.
Desperate to prove herself, she agrees to hear the case of a simple farmer who claims a neighbour stole his cow.
To help her in this task, she orders her chief advisor, the royal wizard Solon, to cast a spell and divine the truth for her. Solon, however, is keeping a terrible secret. He is unable to perform any magic, and he cannot afford to let the queen find out the reason why.
(A Petition to Magic is a short fantasy story)
PRAISE FOR A PETITION TO MAGIC:
"I enjoyed this read and it's a nice quick one for if you are on the train to work or have a few minutes before bed- am pretty sure you will finish it in one sitting! It also has a good little moral kicker at the end."

"...it hit all the points. Give the hero a problem. Challenge the hero. Make the situation so serious that there is a chance something as drastic as death could come should he fail. And then leave us hanging as to see if he succeeded."
- Reading is My Drug
"It will certainly keep readers intrigued until the end."
- Karin Cox (Author of Cruxim)
"You will bond to one or more of the characters, I did."
- Sharon C. Wiliams (Book Blogger)
