Quest for the Source of Darkness - Book Review
By: Lillian Brummet
Quest for the Source of Darkness, Patricia Perry’s first novel,
has an action fantasy story line with a strong mystery theme
and an interesting romantic twist. This is no short novel, at
422 pages you’ll be kept entertained for quite a while.
The main hero character is a strong and gifted woman who
is stricken with a form of memory loss. Little flashes of
memory come to her, but she is frustrated with not knowing
who she is and what her origins are. All she can remember
is her name, Ramira.
Baffled in a tumultuous world of elves, dwarves and desert
nomads, whose inability to co-exist peacefully could spell
doom for all. They are forced to work together to battle the
evil Mahn and his minions, a variety of demons from the low
demons called Kreetch to the terrifying Vox, who are capable
of possessing a body and torturing its soul for centuries.
The Elf Kings, Alyxandyr and Gard, and their royal peers -
the Dwarf King, Seven, and the rulers of the Herkahs, Zada
and Allad - converge together at the gates of grand city of
Bystyn. Together their people find solace in numbers while
they prepare to battle the sourcerous evil. Ramira discovers
her power and learns that she is not meant to be alone.
There is also a powerful seer and the hidden elf magic to
aid her - but they all must grow in strength if there is to be
any hope at all.
Patricia does not explain things in this novel. Instead, the
book expertly unfolds little tantalizing bits to the reader at
just the right pace. Quest for the Source of Darkness is a
larger-sized book that will take the reader on fantasy
adventure for many days.
