The Lost Realm
Family secrets combine with fantasy in this epic tale of battle, magic,
strange creatures, power, and fate, in the second novel in a sweeping
middle grade series that Publishers Weekly called “Game of Thrones on a mellow day.”
The kingdom of Toronia is being torn apart by civil war. The kingdom’s only hope comes in the form of illegitimate triplets, who are prophesied to
kill the king and rule together in peace. Separated at birth and
scattered throughout the realms, the triplets face a desperate fight to
secure their destiny. Will they survive long enough to rule?
The
resurrected King Brutan and his army of the dead control the city of
Idilliam. Outside, Eloide and Tarlan are trying to hold their own army
together and find a way to rescue their brother Gulph who is trapped
inside the city. Or is he? Gulph has found a passageway to the lost
realm of Celestis, which lies beneath Idilliam. There he is reunited
with the mother he has never known — but she can’t remember him. If Gulph
stays in Celestis, will he also forget those above ground whom he loves?
Meanwhile, Tarlan and the wizard Melchior set out on a quest to restore the
wizard’s powers, leaving Eloide and her army to keep watch. But Eloide
is betrayed, her troops are slaughtered, and she is taken captive by
Lord Vicerin, her former guardian, who is determined to use her to take
the throne.
Seemingly further from the throne than ever, the
triplets will need to use all of their strength and abilities if they
are to survive — let alone rule.
