Die Drachenkrone (German Edition)

First class fantasy entertainment! A masterful epos, full of humour and tension, adventure and magic! A book for all ages par excellence! Ulrike Schweikert is one of the most successful German writers of historical and fantasy novels! The wonderful dragon crown was once split between six dragons. Each of them an apocalyptic messenger, the monsters leapt down from the sky, breathing fire, and destroyed the magical city of Xanomee. Centuries later, five unsuspecting companions become entangled in an obscure game of intrigue, betrayal and sorcery. On behalf of the ethereal moon priest they are to find the scattered pieces of the crown – before the black magician Astorin does. For whoever who puts the crown together again becomes the leader of the world … They are a small group of adventurous companions: Rolana, the priestess; Thunin, the dwarf; Ibis the elf; Vlaros, the magician and Cay, the swordsman. When the distressed Countess Lamina von Theron one day asks them to track down her missing husband Gerald, the Count, they are happy to take on the task. The search leads the friends to a huge labyrinth underneath Schloss Theron and, unintentionally, they land up in the middle of a sinister battle. It turns out that the shadowy magician Astorin wants to find the scattered pieces of the dragon crown at all costs. Whoever repairs the crown destroyed in the dim mists of time will rule the world. Yet Count Gerald seems to have gotten in the way of Astorin’s plans. The five friends now put all their efforts into discovering the wondrous headdress. Deep inside the mountain Rolana encounters the dragon Peramina – and suddenly the fate of the whole world lies in her hands … Press ‘Good and smooth flowing entertainment which does not need to be shy of comparison with American examples’.
