The Prophecy of the Gems

8vo. 329pp. Printed wraps.

Three young girls, Jade, Amber and Opal, each from vastly different backgrounds, discover on the day of their fourteenth birthday that they are adopted. An ancient prophecy compels them to leave their families to complete a mission in a far-off kingdom. Fantasy debut from a precocious Romanian-born French writer. She began writing The Prophecy of The Gems (original title: "La Prophétie des Pierres") at the age of 12, and its success has prompted the book's translation into twenty-three languages. "A literary event, not only for children." –Der Spiegel
