Other editions of book The Lost Crown of Colonnade

The Lost Crown of Colonnade is about overcoming almost impossible odds and limitations. It’s about the importance of friendships, love and faith in helping us deal with the struggles of life. The battle between good and evil comes into clear view in the conflict of the land of Colonnade and the desolate land of Necrus. At the beginning of the story we meet Davey Johnsen, who is almost fifteen-years-old. Unfortunately, he has lived the past 8 years of his life unable to walk without the support of braces. In his parent’s “mini-mansion” in Southeastern Connecticut, he spends time creating and living out fantasies on his giant computer screen and deep within his thoughts. With the push of one purple button he finds himself transported to a very different world. His arrival is viewed by the residents of Colonnade as a fulfillment of a centuries-old prophecy. If he accepts that message, then he is faced with a daunting task, one he feels very poorly prepared to attempt. An aging Inn-Keeper, a middle-aged Army sergeant, a Captain of the Guard, a young cook, a talking, 700 pound bear and the beautiful princess of the land become his close friends. Together they form the band of seven who accept the challenge to regain the lost crown. While they travel under great secrecy into the land of Necrus, the Regent of Colonnade and his vastly outnumbered army create a diversion by attacking the evil land’s outer defenses. All hope lies with the little band finding its way through the desolate land ruled over by the King of Necrus, himself merely an under-lord in the service of Dagron, the Lord of All Evil.

A Strange New World...Faithful Friends...Impossible Quest! Davey Johnsen is a physically challenged fourteen-year-old from a wealthy community in Connecticut.
