The Trilogy is called the Twilight Giants.
The names of the Books are, "The Ogre's Pact", "The Giant Among Us", and "The Titan of Twilight".
Tavis Burdan is a Firbolg, in love with the Princess Brianna, who herself is unhumanly strong...(find out in the second novel why). She cannot marry Tavis because he is a commoner. The Twilight Spirit commands the Giants to bring Brianna to the Twilight Vale, a sacred place for all Giants. There is a main theme in the novels, that teaches that you should not prejudge character...(many times the author, Troy Denning, will let you know something that the characters don't know, and you find yourself screaming at them to listen to you!)...Anyway, You learn some history of the Giants and many aspects of Giant and Giant-kin life. Very interesting. Tavis is joined on his journeys by a youth, who is an exceptional thief and amazingly smart, and a Verbeeg who loves to steal books. The Verbeeg is also a runecaster, a different type of magic than I am used to, so that is also interesting. I have found it difficult to lay the book down, and last night, I read sor 5 hours straight! (And now I have a booming headache). If anyone else has read these novels, I would like to hear your views...
