Plot Summary of Prophecy of the Stones
"In this book there are three characters whose names are Amber, Jade, and Opal. When they were young their parents had died and handed them over to people whom they really trusted. When they grew up to be teenagers, their gaurdians told them about their lives and how they were not their parents. They were also told that each of those three girls were going to be enemies. To their surprise, they became the best of friends. They also received stones when they were told about their past. They were supposed to disover what the stones do by themselves.   They were also told a prophecy which said that there were three girls and a man called the Chosen, who were supposed to protect a magical land called Fairytale. When the three girls get there, they find a rule called the Council of Twelve who were people who wanted to control Fairytale like they did the rest of the world.
Meanwhile the Chosen One didn't actually know he was the Chosen until he went through a series of tasks before he finally knew. Together, the girls and the Chosen one went with war against the Council of Twelve. "
