The Crown of Crysaldor

Sandie Newman

After a dark age of one hundred years an adventure begins to restore Crysaldor, the crown must be found that was thought lost forever.


It is 1250 and in the magical kingdom of Crysaldor a fierce battle rages between good King Horius and Dorin. The unthinkable happens and Dorin triumphs.

In his arrogance he changes the name of the kingdom to Dorinia and takes Horius’ crown. He removes its diamonds and throws them away as he knows that the magic only works when the crown is complete. The kingdom is forced into a dark age as the magic begins to fade and Crysaldor becomes no more than a myth that only a few remember.

One hundred years later and the time has finally come for the crown and diamonds to be found. A group of friends including a young girl, a ranger, a pixie, a fairy and a baby dragon, begin a thrilling and perilous adventure that will take them all over Dorinia. As they follow the Unicorns of Alorvia they discover the windy Ever Mountains, the valley of fire and the very heart of Crysaldor itself.

Together they must somehow find the courage, determination and strength to find the lost crown and diamonds and restore Crysaldor before the light fades forever.



Cover by the brilliant Bradley Wind
