| Emma Roberts |
Amy is the main
protagonist of the novel, Voluspa – A Magical World. She is a fifteen year old
teenager who has had a rough start in life. She is a remarkable girl, with a
core of steel. She faces whatever life throws at her with courage and spirit.
She is no paragon of virtue; like every human being she has her foibles. The
admirable part is, she does not let her own shortcomings, difficult
circumstances or even evil adversaries defeat her without putting up a fight.
At the same time the character of Amy is very real and believable. She is the girl next door. She is very easy
to relate to, suffers from the usual teenage girl angst’s but at the same time
is a very spirited young woman. She is someone who is brave and loyal,
vulnerable but strong, someone who inspires epic love. Emma Roberts would be a charming ‘Amy’.

| Landon Liboiron |
Drake is the hero
of this novel. He is the kind of boyfriend any girl would wish for. He can be a
fierce protector one minute, a romantic companion the other. As a friend, he is
exemplary, he would go to great lengths to protect the people he cared for. He
is responsible, intelligent and honorable. What makes him absolutely
irresistible is that he has just the right amount of ‘bad boy’ in him. He is a skilled warrior and morphs into a gigantic dog. Landon Liboironwould be perfect for
this role.

| Marisa Tomei |
Helen – She is the closest thing to a mother that Amy has.
Helen enters Amy’s life when her step father dies and acting as a friend of the
family, escorts Amy to Savannah to live with her grandma. Once Amy arrives in
Voluspa, she acts as her adoptive mother and gives Amy a home. She comes across
as a warm, caring person who has strong ties to Amy and her family. She is
fiercely protective of Amy and yet one gets the feeling that Helen is a woman
with many secrets. Marisa Tomei
would be perfect for this role.

| Steven Strait |
Jacek – He is Drake’s best friend and Amy’s half-brother.
He, like Amy had a difficult childhood. He was abandoned when he was a baby and
spent the first few years of his life in an orphanage. At the age of six he ran
away from the orphanage and took shelter in the Forest of Skotos, with the
Morphus tribe. He and Drake practically grew up together. When he morphs he
takes the form of a giant Anaconda. He is portrayed as a brave and loyal
friend. He is a man of few words, more of a loner. He and Amy share a strange
empathy from the very beginning. Steven
Strait would be suitable for this role.

| Megan Fox |
Sonja – She fancies herself in love with Drake. To begin
with she is not too pleased to have Amy join the group of friends. Initially,
she considers Amy as her rival and tries hard to keep Amy and Drake apart. Over
the course of the novel, she realizes that her she just has a crush on drake but
it is Jacek that she really cares about. This self-realization goes a long way
in healing the rift between her and Amy and the two gradually become friends.
She morphs into a huge Eagle and is a fierce warrior. Megan Fox would work in this role very well.
Lord Vali- He is
the symbol for everything evil and is the main villain in the story. He is a monster with dozens of minions at his disposal. He is
such a badass that.…Well we don’t want to give it all away! Ron Perlman would
be the ideal fit for Lord Vali.

About the Book:
Centuries ago, war between aliens and
humans almost destroyed the world. To prevent such a war from happening again,
a mighty ruler then formed a secret society of nine powerful humans and aliens
called the Bramhas. These Bramhas each wrote a book imparting ancient wisdom
and knowledge. The possession of these books could bring about untold power and
success. The nine books were hidden but the desire to possess those books,
still cause men to fight wars and turn against each other. One such war was
fought in the realm of Voluspa decades back; the consequences of that war still
resonate in this magical land. Two young lovers get caught in this tussle and
it changes their destinies forever.
Amy’s humdrum life takes a complete 180’
turn with the death of her stepfather. She goes to live with her grandmother –
her only living relative, though she hasn’t seen her in the last five years.
Among her mother’s childhood memorabilia, she finds a book ‘Legends of Voluspa’
that captures her imagination. She becomes so engrossed in the book that she
starts dreaming about the places in the book till one night she finds
herself inexplicably transported to the new world – Voluspa, as described in
the book. Here she meets Drake, who unknown to her is a shape shifter.
Chemistry cackles between the two from the very first and as they discover that
they share a lot in common, a tenuous bond forms between the two. ‘I’ll keep
you safe’ vows Drake and he remains true to his word as he befriends her and
saves her from various troubles that befall her over the next couple of months.
In Voluspa, Amy discovers a new way of
life. It’s a magical world inhabited by primarily four clans – Empaths,
Morphus, Mendens and the Pulchrous. The Empaths have the power of mind, the
Morphus are the shape shifters, Mendens are the healers while the Pulchrous
possess physical perfection and strength. With the help of an old family
friend, Amy takes her rightful place in the Empath clan. This marks a new
chapter in Amy’s life. She realizes her own powers and subsequently starts
going to a school to enhance the same. With Drake by her side, she makes some
wonderful friends. However, her life is not all smooth sailing; trouble comes
when she learns the truth about her biological parents. She realizes that her
very existence is against Voluspan law which forbids the union between
individuals belonging to two different clans. History threatens to repeat
itself as she realizes that her predicament was not that different from what
her mother had faced, decades back. She is totally in love with Drake, who
belongs to the Morphus clan.
The enchanting world of Voluspa is far
from Utopic; it has barely recovered from a devastating war fought twenty years
back when the peace of the land is once again threatened by Gangrels, the evil
army of aliens. The two young lovers soon realize that besides contending
with forbidden love, they have to deal with other impediments. Ancient
enmities, a past war, a much coveted book, all conspire against the two lovers.
Gangrels reappear in Voluspa and Drake falls in the clutches of one such evil
being who would stop at nothing to realize his fiendish ambitions. Amy and her
friends cross realms, face enemies, deal with challenges, solve riddles and
brave possible destruction, as they set off on an adventure to rescue
Drake. The ‘Force of Sutra’ clashes with the ‘Elemental Force’ of the
Gangrels as Amy and her friends are faced with an indomitable enemy. They use
strategic warfare, pit adversaries among themselves and use every last drop of
strength, skill and courage as they take on warriors far more ruthless and
skilled than themselves.
As Amy embarks upon a quest to save
Drake, her love for him is tested at every turn but she never wavers from her
objective. Braving imminent death she manages to reach Drake – only to find a
changed person. Gone is the man she is in love with, instead a dangerous
stranger stood in his place. This Drake was teetering at the edge between
becoming completely evil and retaining his own soul. He almost harms Amy but
stops himself at the very last minute. His love for Amy proves to be stronger
than the evil entity threatening to overpower him. However when chips are
down, Drake comes through. He sets aside his personal well-being in order to
save Amy, one last time. Drake is perhaps lost forever but hope dies last – Amy
is determined to get back Drake, no matter what the cost.
