Books with author Alice Caddy

When good King Alfred of the Bear Kingdom passes away, he leaves behind a powerful magic jewel, three young sons... and no guidance as to which of them should take the throne. Each of the bear princes has their own unique set of flaws, as well as a burning desire to see themselves upon throne, but none of them have yet to distinguish themselves as a leader. With no clear choice, they try to decide the next king through a number of interesting methods, each ending in failure. Finally, the princes decide that the only real solution is war. While they get busy preparing for battle, though, they fail to realize that they are only pawns in a much larger game of chess. There are others with their eyes on the gem King Alfred left behind, and they will stop at nothing to control its powers. Colliding in their greedy quests, their squabbling unleashes magical forces of both good and evil that throw the entire kingdom into chaos. Can the princes put aside their differences and come together for the good of their kingdom? Or will the forces of greed and selfishness undo everything their father worked so hard to build?
