Publisher's Synopsis
All his life, Prince Koros has watched over the peaceful realm of Karadot. His father brought an age of prosperity to the quiet kingdom, and while Koros loves his land and his people, he can't help but feel... well, a little bored.
So when the beautiful daughter of a local duck farmer is kidnapped by an ugly old sorceress, Koros knows what he must do. Gathering the heirlooms gifted to him by his family--a mighty axe, a suit of ancient armor, and a no-nonsense horse named Majif--Koros ventures forth to find the missing maiden.
But Koros's journey won't be easy. Between him and the lovely Maleya stand forest demons, poison rivers, and the sorceress's warriors. And even should Koros somehow make it past, he'll have to find a way to free Maleya from her prison inside the sorceress's masterpiece: an enchanted crystal of terrifying power. Koros will need all the help he can get--but first he must become the kind, noble, and compassionate man Maleya needs him to be.
The Crystal Quest is the riveting fairytale of a young man's quest to rescue his beloved. It reminds us that before we can expect kindness from others, we must exhibit it ourselves.
