Siblings Kate, Michael, and Emma have been in one orphanage after another for the last ten years, passed along like lost baggage.

Yet these unwanted children are more remarkable than they could possibly imagine. Ripped from their parents as babies, they are being protected from a horrible evil of devastating power, an evil they know nothing about.

Until now.

Before long, Kate, Michael, and Emma are on a journey through time to dangerous and secret corners of the world . . . a journey of allies and enemies, of magic and mayhem. And—if an ancient prophesy is true—what they do can change history, and it's up to them to set things right.

Review of 'The emerald atlas' on 'Goodreads'

When I first started this book, I wasn't quite sure of the time travel, and who was good, or evil. The more I read the more I figured it all out. I actually do see the Narnia references in this book, but they're not at all annoying.
I liked all three of the main characters in this book, and when I wake up in the morning, I'm going to start book two.
