The Elenium: The Diamond Throne The Ruby Knight The Sapphire Rose (The Elenium Trilogy, Books 1-3)

by David Eddings

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.

I finished this series today,I liked it.
The Elenium is unlike the previous series I've read by David Eddings.

We have Church Knights and Church soldiers and they don't really like each other,it's a political thing.
Sparhawk(a Church Knight) our hero has been banned from Cimmura,it's been ten years and he comes back.
And we find out he is also the Queen's Champion.

Now the Queen has taken ill and when Sparhawk finds this out the quest begins for as a Queen's Champion
it is up to him to help her.

This will be the main quest but along this quest there are several smaller quests.

The characters I really liked and I liked this world building,the style of magic was different and
the book was dealing with knights.

I only gave it four stars because I felt the second book started off slow.
