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.

Celebrated multiple Eisner and Ringo Award-winning independent publisher, Oni-Lion Forge Publishing Group, is set for the US release of the acclaimed graphic novel from Norwegian author and illustrator Dina Norlund, The Snowcat Prince, on March 7, 2023. The Snowcat Prince is a beautifully illustrated tale of bravery and honor featuring the magical adventures of feline prince Syv as he faces dangerous beasts, dark powers, and the ever-lurking sandfoxes—sworn enemies to the snowcats.

The Snowcat Prince is the tale of Syv, a snowcat and the youngest in a family of princes. When his father dies, Syv and his brothers are all in line for the throne. Eager to become kings themselves and wary of how well-liked Syv has become by the citizens, Syv’s brothers send him on a dangerous quest to find the long-lost magical crown that once belonged to their royal ancestor, the Eldking. Legend says that the snowcat who finds the crown will break the curse on their land and bring great honor to the family. But failure could mark Syv with three black stripes, resulting in his being banished forever.
