The creation of three of fantasy's stellar talents, the "Trillium Saga" is a tour de force of magic, mystery, and romance. Now best-selling author Andre Norton picks up the story she began with Julian May and Marion Zimmer Bradley--a story that continues with a perilous quest into darkness. . .Once the famed triplet princess who defeated the evil sorcerer Orogastus, Kadiya ventures forth into the choked swamp lands of Ruewena to seek her own destiny among the Oddlings she once led in battle. Armed with her mystical three-eyed sword, she reaches the lost city of the Vanished Ones and discovers a strange race of dream-catchers, called Hassitti, whose visions bring chilling warning of a lethal plague that sows the land with death. Now Kadiya, with only three comparisons to aid her, journeys into the Thorny Hell, realm of the cannibalistic saurian Skritek, to stop the carrier of the evil disease. Here they discover a portal leading to a universe of awesome darkness--an entranceway to a horror that threatens the very existence of "The World Of The Three Moons." "From the Paperback edition."
I liked this book a lot, I think It can easily be one of the best of the saga, the fact that Kadiya was the only triplet in the story troubled me a little but a part from that it was great!
This Book was very Intriguing.

I loved this book...in fact, it is the book that took me the shortest time to read, in all the the series. But somehow it is the only one of the series so far, that is anticlimactic. I found No discrenpancies. However the story could have had a lot more to offer. Maybe more emphasis on the guy from Varm...more interaction from the 2 forces prior to the last 20 pages.....that is the only thing that disapponted me about the book
Superbly written, fascinating, the best story of the series

Golden Trillium is the best of the Trillium books series. The fiery Kadiya is the only one of the sisters that is really in the book (Haramis is in a conversation or two), and so if Kadiya is your favorite, this book is a must! The series doesn't fit together perfectly, so don't be disappointed if this book doesn't match the others.
powerful tale of conquering self doubt for the greater good

This has to be one of Andre Norton's best book ever. However, there's a great deal of discontinuity in this story with thoses written by M Bradley (Lady of the Trillium) and J May (Blood Trillium and Sky Trillium). Andre Norton has set her story straight after the triplets defeated Oragastus (the first time). But J May wrote about two further encounters with this dark magician. And M Bradley set her story far far into the future (generations after the Black Trillium) and made no mention of the loss of the talismans. I suggest that people read J May's Blood Trillium and Sky Trillium first before reading A Norton's Golden Trillium and, lastly, M Bradley's Lady of the Trillium to get a better feel of the stories without being time warped. A must read for all Trillium fans and Norton fan
