SOLVED. triplets split up prophesised to defeat an evil king [s]

[LJF]

There is a prophecy that a set of triplets will be able to defeat the wicked king, but when triplets were born (a girl and 2 boys) they were split up. I think one boy "Gulph" (or something like that) was in a circus, and the girl Elaine (I think) knows her true identity, but lives with those who'd use her to their own ends.

Split Heirs

I'm fairly certain this is it. The page doesn't have much description, but it is about separated royal triplets. Take a look.

That isn't it, but it looks interesting

Is this YA or adult? What year did you read it? Series or standalone?

Crown of Three by J.D. Rinehart matches your description. "The kingdom’s only hope comes in the form of Brutan’s illegitimate triplets, prophesied to kill the king and rule together in peace."

One GR reviewer says, "In this coming of age tale, we see Tarlan, Elodie, and Algulphus more often referred to as Gulph fulfill a prophecy. After being whisked into safety they all have their own harrowing tales of survival. One's a prisoner in plain sight, another is a glorified gypsy (traveling minstrel), and another grows up in the frozen wastes of a long forgotten realm."
