Three fan-favorite authors present "a classic fantasy quest involving
mysterious wizards, rites of passage, and the salvation of a kingdom"
(Library Journal).
Peace has long reigned in Ruwenda thanks to the magical protection of
the Archimage Binah. The realm's devoted guardian is aging, however, and
her magic is weakening. When the kingdom's triplet princesses were still
infants, Binah gave each of them the mystical power of the Black
Trillium. But the unthinkable occurs too soon, and Ruwenda is overrun by
the ravaging armies of neighboring Labornok before the sisters, Haramis,
Kadiya, and Anigel, have time to learn how to use their great gift.
Forced to flee, the young princesses must follow their separate
destinies through a dangerous and unfamiliar world of Oddlings and
enemies--for only the combined power of three magical talismans can help
them defeat the malevolent sorcerer who has brought chaos and death to
their once-idyllic home. But it will take new kinds of strength and
wisdom to confront the great evil that has descended on the World of the
Three Moons.
Marion Zimmer Bradley, Julian May, and Andre Norton, three of the most
honored names in fantasy fiction, have joined forces to create an
extraordinary world and culture in the first book of the remarkable Saga
of the Trillium, a breathtaking tale of duty, peril, love, and magic.
