“Carcium - The Conflict Begins” begins with the story about Nina, a young naive ruler, who was one of the last to fall into the darkness. She was put to the test of worthiness by the mystical elves and had failed. Her kingdom and its people were enslaved. Now, all of the kingdoms of Phygeria are on the brink of destruction and have succumbed to evil - except for Carcium. For years, a great king ruled the Kingdom of Carcium in the land of Phygeria. Brave and just, the king protected Carcium from the evils of the outside world and within the kingdom. But when the brave king falls, the days of peace in Carcium fall with him. The king’s young son, Prince Troy, assumes the throne and the evil that has threatened Carcium for so long moves ever closer to the kingdom’s walls. Prince Troy must face the test of the elves which many rulers in the past have failed. He must also find the mystical sword - the only weapon that can destroy Duras Carcer, a demon who draws his life force from overthrown rulers and fallen kingdoms. As a force – will Troy, Brutus and Nina have the strength to save the Kingdom of Carcium? Do they have the wisdom and abilities to restore Carcium to its former glory and overcome the evil ways of Duras Carcer?
“It’s a book for pre-teens, teens and adults of all ages. The book definitely captures the story about the fight for good against evil through the skillful adventures of its characters. I thoroughly loved reading about the many medieval animals were woven into the plot such as the gargoyles and large cats. I think the book combines the best of Star Wars with the dramatic adventures of Lord of the Rings,” said Ellen Brittle, East Longmeadow, MA. “Carcium – The Conflict Begins is a high adventure fantasy book you just can’t put down. I’m looking forward to the continuation of the Carcium book series.”
“This is a ‘must’ read for anybody who loves to visit renaissance fairs or is a Robin Hood, Excalibur, Willow or even a Dungeon & Dragon fan,” said Allison Sekula, an Enfield, CT librarian.
