A Kingdom Rises (Reprint)

Description
Family secrets combine with fantasy in this epic tale of battle, magic, strange creatures, power, and fate, in this final novel in a sweeping middle grade series that Publishers Weekly called "Game of Thrones on a mellow day." An ancient prophecy says that when three stars appear in the sky, triplets will take the throne and peace will come to the land. The stars have appeared, and the triplets are Gulph, Tarlan, and Elodie. But the prophecy appears to have failed. Tarlan saw Gulph fall from a burning tower during a final confrontation with their undead father. There's no way Gulph could have survived...even with his special abilities. As for his sister, Elodie, Tarlan's convinced that she's a traitor who betrayed the rebellion and her family just so she could have the throne to herself. With nothing left to believe in, Tarlan's prepared to abandon both the cause and his pack of wild animals, and head north. But appearances can be deceiving. And in a world of magic and deceit, mistaking lies for truth can be deadly.
