Plot Summary of Triplet
"Danae is tired of people controlling her life for her--especially her father. So, she decides to visit Triplet--a world that is really three separate worlds, each with its own magic. With a Courier called Ravagin as her guide, she sets off, only to find herself caught in a battle between the demons of Karyx and the humans that once controlled them. Danae and Ravagin must find a way to stop the demons, or Triplet will be doomed."
Six Madine, Resident Scholar
