The Magykal World of Colours
Thank you for having me on your blog, Cana Elene. I really appreciate. I'd like to talk a little about the Colour Wielder world. While it takes place mostly in Conifer, Colorado, there is also the land of Magyk, or the Magykal Realm know as Flaitheas Draíochta.
When creating this story, I thought long and hard about what my ultimate, magical world would look like. Most of my literary life, I've adored Arthurian legends and Celtic deities. I thought, what if there was a realm where characters from these myths and legends lived together? What would that look like? What if it was open to any and all gods no matter their pantheon? How cool would that be?
So I did a ton of research, and pulled out characters that interested me. Then, I jumped off from there. I don't hold strictly to what myth says. I figure since it's myth, I can twisted these characters to fit my own purposes, though I do try to keep their basic essence. You'll meet characters you may have heard of, though they may not act exactly the way you've seen them act before. In this series, two infamous characters from Arthurian legend play a major role. Writing them has been a challenge but a lot fun as well.
Once I had the characters, I needed a setting for them. The fun part was coming up with this land. Flaitheas Draíochta territory encompasses all of Europe, but it is separated from Mortal eyes by the Faerying Mysts. When you're behind the Mysts, you're in a natural world where the people and the land are intimately connected—neither can exist without the other. This is why Magyk reigns here and why it's expressed in vivid Colours. Life here is more vibrant and alive and so are the inhabitants. Because there is Magyk, there is no need for modern conveniences or modern ideals. The law of the land is harsh. But when you live in a place where monsters and mystical creatures dwell, it's not surprising that you live and die by the sword.
I will admit this is a place I'd like to visit. So how about you come with me? Spend a day with me in a world of Colours, Magyk, and romance. A place where anything and everything is possible. Where things and people you thought only existed in myths and legends are real. I promise you'll you won't be disappointed.
Colour Wielders by Dawna Raver
Description:
Behind the Mysts, hidden from Mortal eyes, is a land where
Gods and creatures of myth and legend dwell. And in the Mortal Realm, their
Princess lives.
Quinn Sinclair is clueless to who she is. She thinks she's
an ordinary young woman—well, mostly ordinary—living an ordinary life with her
less than loving mother in Conifer, Colorado. On the night of her birthday,
Quinn finds herself betrayed by a man who sends her life spinning
out-of-control.
Arik Morgaine—demi-god bad boy and outcast of the Magykal
Realm—tried to avoid contact with Princess Quinn Sinclair for eighteen years,
not wanting to make good on an old threat. But the fates have other plans. Arik
can no longer deny his growing desire for Quinn, or the need to protect her
from those wanting to control her burgeoning powers. Can the two of them come
together and save the Magykal Realm from being destroyed by the Darkest of
Magyks, or will powers beyond their control destroy them and their world
forever?
