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 is 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, and he’d be banished forever.

Along his journey, Syv will face dangerous beasts, dark powers, and the ever-lurking sand foxes—sworn enemies to the snowcats. But when Syv discovers the truth about the legend of the Eldking and his magical crown, 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.

About the Author

Dina Norlund was an artist who liked to dabble in all things creative. Everything from painting, storytelling, sculptures, crafting, and designing, she probably tried it all at one point in her life. She even managed to focus on one thing long enough to write, illustrate, and finish a comic project or two. Dina liked to wander the lush forests of Norway, taking inspiration from the culture and folklore when writing and illustrating her stories. Though Dina tragically passed away in February 2023 at only twenty-seven years old, she believed in rebirth through nature. Her spirit lives on in those she loved and inspired. You might even be able to still find her in those lush Norwegian forests—perhaps beneath a yellow gingko tree—where her soul is immersed in nature and she's daydreaming her next magical adventure.
