The Snowcat Prince

By: Dina Norlund

To break the curse on the kingdom, Syv, the youngest snowcat prince sets out on a dangerous quest to find the long-lost magical crown of his ancestor and learn the true meaning of bravery and honor.

Syv, a snowcat prince in line to take the throne following his father’s death, embarks on a dangerous quest to find the long-lost magical crown that could break the curse on his land. But if he fails, Syv will be marked with three black stripes and banished from home forever. Along his journey, Syv will face dangerous beasts, dark powers, and the ever-lurking sandfoxes–sworn enemies to the snowcats. But when Syv discovers the truth about the legends he was told as a child, he’ll have to learn the new meaning of honor and find another way to break the curse.

From Norwegian author Dina Norlund comes The Snowcat Prince, a beautifully illustrated tale of bravery and honor.
