It starts out great and the spark between them grows when they share a steamy kiss, but then it all fizzles out as the story focuses solely on the battle ahead. My only complaint, or issue if you will, with this book is that I would have liked to see more of the relationship between Taslessian and Darci. I know there are other books that follow characters found in Quest of the Demon but I don’t know if they are part of the same series. Quest of the Demon is a great story and is definitely filled with potential. The sole outcome of the battle depends on Darci and a choice that she isn’t even sure how to make. Together with the knight Maledorian, an Amazon warrior named Defyance and an elf named Lief, the group sets out with hopes of ending the battle before it starts.

An epic battle is about to occur between the North and the South parts of Nahaba, with an evil Demon and Domati leading the attacks. He proceeds to tell them what they are up against and what must happen. Soon Taslessian and Darci are brought to Grisham, one of the last Great Dragons. Taslessian and Darci set out on an adventure that neither expected to be possible. Domati wants Darci in hopes of learning about her world and believes that her knowledge will give him endless power. Quest of the Demon does not waste any time jumping into action as Taslessian’s master and wizard Belderon is forced into battle with an evil wizard named Domati, ultimately being killed in the process. There are instantly some small sparks between Darci and Taslessian, as both are intrigued by the other’s world and habits.

The young apprentice wizard, Taslessian, is the one who summoned her although he doesn’t know how or even why it happened. Quest of the Demon by M L Sawyer is the exciting story of Darci, just an average teenage girl, who is accidentally summoned into a world full of magic called Nahaba.
