Sat Sandhu is a vibrant new author of fantasy novels. Spirit is the first book of the Dragon Crown Trilogy. In it the reader is treated to a fantasy epic; escape into an epic landscape of magic and mystery. A war rages between King Falkor and the destruction crazed Emperor Salzar. The Dwarves hide in their mountains whilst the Elves isolate themselves in the frozen wastes of the north. Neither care for the petty struggles of men. Only the old magician, Medriz, knows the true nature of the force that drives Emperor Salzar. But no-one is willing to heed his warnings; Another Great War is coming and the Children Of The Gods are neither united nor prepared. Also, the Dragons have long since disappeared - can the dark forces of Ikur be defeated without them? If good is to triumph once more then Arun, a poor boy from the slums, must unite the Dwarves, Elves and Men into a common force. Arun is the key, but can he survive long enough to become the hero of prophecy?
