The Books of Beginning 1. The Emerald Atlas

The extraordinary first book in a generation-defining fantasy trilogy! Kate, Michael, and Emma have been in orphanages for the last 10 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, an evil they know nothing about. Until now. Before long, they are on a journey to dangerous and secret corners of the world. And--if an ancient prophesy is correct--what they do can change history, and it is up to them to set things right.
