Crown of Three series.
Magical triplets Gulph, Tarlan, and Elodie (Crown of Three; The Lost Realm) must reunite to fulfill their destiny and bring peace to Toronia. Following the siblings' alternating narratives as they face multiple opponents--not only their despotic father, King Brutan, but also evil Lord Vicerin and the invading Galadronian army--becomes a bit unwieldy, but this epic fantasy's satisfying conclusion should please fans.

Crown of Three series.
Thirteen-year-old triplets Gulph, Tarlan, and Elodie, prophesied to deliver their kingdom from their cruel father, the king, fight separately for causes that will bring them closer to victory and peace. The triple narrative expands on the intricate political, military, and social landscapes introduced in Crown of Three; the large cast is well delineated, imbuing this epic fantasy's second installment with emotional resonance.

With the kingdom of Toronia beneath the heel of tyrannical King Brutan, royal triplets were smuggled out of the palace the night they were born. Now thirteen, they lead vastly different lives; each is pulled inexorably back toward their shared destiny. Told from the alternating perspectives of the three heirs, this tightly plotted fantasy moves unstoppably forward to its epic conclusion.
