The Crown of Palrad by Jim Athanas
Driven by his dreams, Arazan, the Elder of the People of Men, makes an adventurous journey to meet Kuthlazun the Disgraced at the Rocky Isle. Amkos, a Sandlian general, is his company as they overcome several obstacles to comprehend Evil’s plan for dominion upon the five Kins of the Continent. The key to all that is the Crown of Palrad, a Monotan past-ruler of the ancient world, and the power it gives to the one bearing it. During this challenging journey, several societal fights and battles take place between the traders and the army due to an elopement, while Giants of the Ring Mountains imprison a poor parentless man in his effort to rescue a family. All these events run around the mystery of the Crown of Palrad and the myth that follows it.
