What Are The Treasures of Carmelidrium?

I want to thank Summer for hosting me on my blog book tour. I appreciate your kindness and all your effort Summer.

What are “The Treasures of Carmelidrium,” and how the heck do you pronounce that?

Good question, I’m here to answer.

Approximately 1400 years before my story opens there was an emperor who ruled my alternate world. He used black magic to extend his life and to control others. During this time the elves arrived from another place, which was our world, through a doorway and created “The Treasures of Carmelidrium,” to help defeat the evil emperor.

The “Treasures,” are beautifully crafted. They are a necklace, a ring, a garland, a sword and a scepter. A king’s treasures. Each has a sapphire in the shape of a half moon surrounded by a circle of diamonds. The sword has elfin runes along the blade. But the scepter is the most powerful weapon of all and has a crystal ball cut with multiple facets. Each has the ability to enhance the wearer with special powers.

When Prince Carmel arrives he falls in love with Princess Lysandra who has a beautiful voice that is endued with the magic of healing, literally. The elves crafted the “Treasures,” to be empowered by Lysandra’s song and so, Prince Carmel defeats the evil emperor and ushers in a time of peace called, Carmel-i-drium.

This is the stuff of legend to my characters when my story opens. No one has seen “The Treasures of Carmelidrium,” for hundreds of years. No one has the gift of healing with their music. Black magic is outlawed for good reason. Thus the story opens with my heroine, a modern American college student who has the gift of healing with her flute. She doesn’t know this until she experiences it in Gil-Lael, the name of this world. Her attitude in the beginning is, “you’ve got to be kidding me.” But over time, she can’t deny that the special something she always knew was missing from her music is alive in Gil-Lael whenever she plays the flute.

If you have questions please leave them in the comment section, I’ll be dropping in all day to answer them. Thanks for coming by to read my post.
