Son of Light, Son of Darkness: Drow Heritage Unleashed

by Bob Perrill

Son of Light, Son of Darkness . . . is a multi-faceted exploration of life from the perspective of both good and evil; a certain duality of existence that permeated not only the real and imaginary societies we live in but the soul that makes us who we are. Seen through the eyes of Connate Brogan, who has been raised as a sylvan elf with a great affinity for the healing powers of nature and magic, this wondrous journey of discovery, where an uncertain future awaits him in the dark and magical underworld that inextricably calls for his attention. The discovery of Connate's true origin provides the impetus for this adventure, and his father accompanies him as they travel deeper and deeper into a labyrinth of strange and enchanting creatures, places, societies, and dangerous encounters neither may survive. The only certainly about this voyage is that both Connate and his father, Dradamus, will arrive at their respective destinations greatly changed by the experience; life carries no guarantees. Added to this wealth of material is an underlying starkness about real human behaviors, where the psychological reactions of the players in various circumstances call into question our own thoughts and beliefs. These life and death occurrences carry reverberations into the future no one can know, and how Connate faces these are very on point with . . . the reality of our existence.

Excellent Fantasy!

Connate's mother is Sylvan elf; his father, Drow. His skin is light enough for him to be raised by his mother without questions, although single mothers are rare. This book follows Connate and his father into the under dark world of the Drow. It is a fascinating story, a real page turner that I didn't want to put down. I recommend this book to anyone who plays DnD or dog games. It is an excellent way to help build a Drow character because it explores their world, life, and culture. I also recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy.

I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway.

I felt this started a little slow, but then I always feel that the introduction of characters take longer than it should, and a lot of times, you need to a detailed explanation before getting to the story proper. In this case, the more I got into the story, the more I was glad for some of the details as they made it easier to understand what was happening. Not wanting to add spoilers, I am now into the story so much that I want to know what happens to some of the characters.
