The Tralls of Maruchus

By Gayle Torrens

One day while she was alone at the river Maya, a chick from the Tralldom of Maruchus met Ellie, a water sprite from the Tralldom of the Rivers, and despite their obvious differences, the pair formed a strong friendship.

Eventually, Ellie took her new friend to her tralldom to meet her kinships and while she was there, Maya promised the fief that she would never tell anyone about the Tralldom of the Rivers or the water sprites who inhabited it.

But when their home was destroyed by fire and the water sprites mysteriously disappeared, Maya realised that she was unable to help them by herself and that promise became a burden too great for her to bear.

She was forced to break her promise, and the story she shared lead to a chain of events that changed the lives of the sprites forever.

Will Ellie, who considers a promise to be a sacred oath, be able to forgive Maya or could her betrayal lead to the end of their friendship?

The Tralls of Maruchus explores the concepts of empathy, determination, resilience and loyalty.

It is the third book in The Trall Series, a collection of exciting portal fantasies set in Australia. The books can be read as stand-alone books but reading them in sequence opens up the wonderful world of the tralldoms and their inhabitants and uncovers some long-held secrets.

The Tralls of Maruchus was awarded a 2026 Golden Wizard Book Prize. It has also been given a 5-star rating from Reader Views and a Literary Titan Silver Award.

The series is suitable for competent readers aged from 9 years to 13+ years.
