BETWEEN LIFE AND MYTH

ENGLAND
HAS NEVER BEEN
SO MAGICAL.

From screens to stone circles. From the corridors of Cheffoy to Machu Picchu. Technology merges with druidic rituals — and something, in the shadows, remembers.

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

S. GALLIC

Lulled by the myths of Western France, S. Gallic draws from his Breton roots a fascination for ancient stones. A raw heritage he breathes today into Tony Millard's universe.

Between cutting-edge technology and ancient magic, he forges the Cheffoy Academy. A breathless urban fantasy, where the quest for one's own origins remains the greatest adventure of all.

What is the difference with The Adventures of Tony Millard?

The Magic of the Ancients is not a sequel. I gathered the entire epic into a single volume to offer a smoother reading experience. This novel brings together the three original works, completely revised and updated:

The Cheffoy Academy (Volume 1)
The First Elements (Volume 2)
The Dance of Colors (Volume 3)

There are now two ways to discover my universe: Paperback (450 pages) or Ebook (Complete Edition).

Why rework this book into a second edition?

An author is like an alchemist: constantly searching for the perfect formula.

The first volume underwent the deepest changes. I trimmed out the slow parts to achieve a faster-paced rhythm. The opening is completely different for an immediate immersion into the Plain of Armorie.

The origins of "The Magic of the Ancients"?

It all started with a simple question: what would happen to a modern teenager, someone more comfortable with a keyboard than an incantation, if he were thrown into the heart of an ancestral war?

But beyond the spells, this novel is above all a story about resilience. It is the courage of Tony and his friends that gives true light to the narrative.

What role does AI play in creation?

The universe, plot, and story structure come entirely from my imagination.

I used AI as a drafting assistant (much like an advanced word processor) and to visualize my characters.

Because my written descriptions are intentionally sparse, I decided to publish my illustrations of Tony and his circle on the website to aid immersion.
