Lily, an English teenage girl, is sailing with her parents on their small yacht. An unexpected storm leaves the boat sinking, and she loses consciousness. She awakes in a strange land called Karisia, where she is the Queen. She finds an ally in Aaron James, a US student who arrived there after blacking out following a collision in an American football game.

Lily learns that when Karisia is in danger the Elder Lords can summon three people to help - the Warrior, the Queen, and the Magician. Lily and Aaron both suspect that they were 'summoned' in error, as neither feels capable of their task.

Their danger is from the invading Veosians. Aaron's military plans all go badly wrong, with the enemy seeming to anticipate his moves. The rather quirky Lord Queld tells them that he thinks they are being betrayed...

Written by prize-winning storyteller ROBIN CHARLES EVANS, "THE SUMMONING OF THE THREE" was described by one delighted reader as "a 21st Century Narnia".
