A note for parents
The Elenium is a classic epic fantasy with adventure, sword-and-sorcery action, and themes of loyalty and courage that appeal to teen readers. Violence is present but not graphic—mostly combat and magical threats rather than detailed gore. The narrative emphasizes heroism, duty, and friendship, with well-drawn characters who model integrity and sacrifice. Some mature themes and occasional crude language appear, making it better suited for ages 12 and up rather than younger middle-grade readers.

Now for the first time in one thrilling volume–the three magical novels that make up David Eddings’s epic fantasy The Elenium. In an ancient kingdom, the legacy of one royal family hangs in the balance, and the fate of a queen—and her empire—lies on the shoulders of one knight. Sparhawk, Knight and Queen’s Champion, has returned to Elenia after ten years of exile, only to find young Queen Ehlana trapped in a crystalline cocoon. The enchantments of the sorceress Sephrenia have kept the queen alive–but the spell is fading. In the meantime, Elenia is ruled by a prince regent, the puppet of the tyrannical Annias, who vows to seize power over all the land. Now Sparhawk must find the legendary Bhelliom, a sapphire that holds the key to Ehlana’s cure. Sparhawk and his companions will face monstrous foes and evil creatures on their journey, but even greater dangers lie in wait: for dark legions will stop at nothing to reach the radiant stone, which may possess powers too deadly for any mortal to bear.
