They begin a long voyage to Oonagh, the mysterious oracle who becomes their guide. Their quest will lead them into a ferocious battle against the forces of evil. Present day! In a Parisian hospital a fourteen-year-old girl is dying. Joa no longer speaks, nor fights for her life, but she dreams and her thoughts carry her into a fairy-tale world where three heroines lead an epic war. The distant promise of their victory and the end of their adventures carries with it a secret which could return to her the will to live!

DISAPPOINTED.....,
By
This review is from: Prophecy of the Gems (Hardcover)
This is the same exact book with a different title as Prophecy of the Stones. My neice loved Prophecy of the Stones and was so excited for what we thought was the sequel and was crushed when we finally got the book and found it was the same. Very misleading and decieving if you ask me to put the same book out with a new title.

I bought Prophecy of the Stones last Christmas for my niece. She loved it!! This Christmas I bought Prophecy of the Gems. It's the same book. Is anyone else finding this true?

This review is from: Prophecy of the Gems (Hardcover)
I figured out why this book is the same as The Prophecy of the Stones but has a different name. The Prophecy of the Stones was also published in the UK as "The Prophecy of the Gems".
I read the USA published form of the book The phrophecy of the stones I found the book to be interesting and engageing, but a little perdictable. I find it amazing to think that the author was only 12 when she started it and 14 when it was published and when i take that into consideration as i heard the story i was amazed. It is very well writen and I look forward to see if she publishes more and how they change as she grows older and changes with years. I would say this book would be more interesting to younger people but i think adults would enjoy it too.
