The Quest of Kadji is a fantasy novel by American writer Lin Carter, the first book of the Chronicles of Kylix series.

[2] Kadji of the Kozanga Horde, young grandson to the aging warrior Zarouk, has been tasked by his grandfather with dethroning Prince Yakthodah, usurper of the throne of the Dragon Emperor.

Crossing the Kylix-sun scorched plains on Haral, his faithful black Feridoon pony, Kadji rides into the capital to vanquish his nemesis, knowing full well this will mean his own painful end.

He is accompanied on his quest by the magician Akthoob and the red-haired princess Thyra with her wolf companion.

Robert M. Price calls The Quest of Kadji "a passable Carter effort typical of the period," likening it to such other works of the 1970s as Amalric, The Black Star and the Gondwane Epic.
