Three brothers born to a once powerful King were abandoned at
birth and cast out into the old world as orphans - alone and unaware of the
other's existence or their royal heritage.
In the new world, by order of the false King, three of the most
lethal assassins are sent to kill the children before they come of age and
avenge their father’s throne.
But when the brothers find one another, Benjamin, Tommy and
Sebastian must resist the temptation of magic and power if they are to defeat
the unspeakable evil that has threatened them since birth.
The Three Thorns is book one in an exciting children’s fantasy
series called The Brotherhood and the Shield from debut author Michael Gibney.

Sebastian
Cain’s character in The Three Thorns
is quite the pernickety genius of the brothers.
Having escaped the mistreatment by the hands of his guardians, Sebastian
Cain shows the most fighting spirit, but is at times the most tortured of the
three brothers. He is the smartest and most mature of the three brothers and is
naturally independent. He isn’t as cowardly as Benjamin Brannon, and Tommy Joel
may talk a good game but it is Sebastian who truly shines in the face of
adversary at the beginning of The
Brotherhood and the Shield series. His love and attraction to magic leads
him into darker territory as the story unfolds when his natural abilities for
sorcery become an unquenchable obsession to his unstoppable talent, turning him
into a strong but compulsive and unstable character.
