Black Trillium

A Booklist Editors’ Choice

“A fine fantasy novel … the styles and subplots mesh effectively, and the world-building is superior.” —Chicago Sun-Times

“Three top fantasy stars combine in this tale.… An inventive quest fantasy with strong characters and a well-realized setting —quite worthy of the considerable talents involved.” —Kirkus Reviews

“A potent tale that is the result of a collaboration of important fantasy writers.… Each of the princesses’ characters and quests was created by one of the top-notch coauthors, who infuse them with distinctive voices and paths. The weaving together of these stories adds texture and interest to an already strong fairy-tale lot and firm world building.” —Booklist, starred review

“Remarkable … plays to the strengths of all three writers in a wide-ranging, solidly crafted narrative with elements of high adventure, vivid magic, and remote science fiction.Black Trillium is an entertaining, well-told tale.” —Dragon

“A marvelous, fast-paced fantasy.” —Booklist

“It is the stuff of which fairy tales were made in your youth —but this one is definitely for grownups.… Magical and sparkling and at the same time, hauntingly real.” —The Courier-Gazette (Rockland, Maine)

“Three of fantasy’s finest authors join forces to take us on a fabulous quest in an exciting new world.” —Rave Reviews

Golden Trillium

“The sort of well-told tale that Norton has been writing for nearly half a century … we can rejoice in having such a legacy.” —Chicago Sun-Times

“The grande dame of SF and fantasy returns to a favorite theme —the discovery of an ancient and highly advanced lost civilization —in this heroic adventure set in the shared world introduced in Black Trillium (with Marion Zimmer Bradley and Julian May). Norton’s latest effort bears witness to her mastery of no-frills storytelling. A prime candidate for fantasy collections.” —Library Journal

Lady of the Trillium

“An inventive quest with strong characters and a well-realized setting.” —Kirkus Reviews
