So many adventures, so little time!

After discovering the portal to the gnome world, Lana develops a taste for adventure, but dividing her time between both worlds means missing half the excitement. The Amulet Team is leaving Shadowglade on a mission to the barrier zone, and she can't be away that long. The unlikely group will be an adventure in itself: two humans, two breghlin, and two gnomes who don't like breghlin. Lana believes that the savage and unprincipled breghlin will prove themselves useful. The team will learn whether she's right as they cross unknown territory, encountering dangerous gems, enigmatic relics, thieves, and dangers at the barrier zone..Faraway places seem more exciting to Lana, but adventure awaits her at Shadowglade. The castle still holds its share of secrets and dangers, which Lana is about to find out--at the worst possible time, with help far away. This series is a trilogy and should be read in order: Beyond the Forest, Shadowglade, Runes and Relics. A spinoff series featuring gnome main characters from this trilogy continues the story with more adventures in the gnome world. Wards and Wonders, Myths and Mentors, and Deals and Dangers are available now.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

In book one, Beyond the Forest, Lana's adventures take place in a small part of the gnome world, Shadow, and whatever we know about Shadow is based on what little she's seen. We learn that Shadow's geology and gemstones differ from ours. Their gems have stronger, more impressive powers and some are harmful. For the most part, Lana concentrates on gems from her own world and has limited interaction with Shadow gems. We also learn that Shadow has everything from diseased forests to deserts within a small area. Sheamathan, the gnomes' ruler, purposely destroyed the ecology and created monstrous creatures that could survive in these new habitats.

In book two, Shadowglade, Lana wants to learn more about Shadow, but the gnomes have lived in hiding for generations, and know little about their history or what lies beyond the areas they've occupied for generations. Challenges abound. They must subdue the breghlin, form a government, and survive the perils set in motion by Sheamathan's sentient spell book.
Book three, Runes and Relics, concludes the trilogy. Near the end of the book, gnomes are forced to become more independent and overcome problems with little help from their human allies.

A spinoff series featuring gnome main characters (The Gem Lore Series) continues the story with more adventures in the gnome world.

Highly recommend this book!

I sat down to read this just before bed. BIG MISTAKE. I ended up remaining up until I had finished the story. Pacing, challenges, and plot are all amazingly woven into a delightful tapestry of adventure and drama with a little romance thrown in for good measure. I totally enjoyed this third book in the Gem Powers series. I hope the author puts out a coloring book at some point, and maybe even a Gem Powers Guidebook (hint, hint) because I could totally see those companion books encouraging and enlightening fans for years to come. You will NOT be disappointed in this book.

This 3rd book is an excellent addition to the series. I kept pestering the author when it would be ready because I couldn't wait to see how the story would keep developing...New characters are introduced and our favorites are back at it working overtime against the dark forces. I highly recommend reading all 3 books...I like Kindle but we also bought the paperbacks.

... books in this series so far and I absolutely love love loved the first one

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2017

So I have read all the books in this series so far and I absolutely love love loved the first one. It was so captivating and original. But then the second one seemed a little... I dont know... boring I suppose. And this one wasn't much better. For one thing, the main characters from the first 2 books are barely in it. Also it just seems to not really have a climax of any real importance. I can't say much without spoiling things but everything just seems so easy for the characters. Oh we burned the throne and the evil creatures all suddenly dissappear. Oh we managed to fix the Amulet with minimal effort. Anyways it wasn't a very satisfying read.

A wonderful conclusion and one that suits the series. A huge leap in writing and storytelling quality.

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2017

I love this book and I look forward to the new series she will be writing based on the characters from this series. This book had the ending I expected but had twists and turns along the way. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
