Across the land of Zoura, people and creatures alike continue to fall prey to the persuasion of darkness. The seeds of evil pollute not only those outside the Light, but those within it. Pitting neighbor against neighbor. Brother against brother. The Dark One gains ground in his pursuit to shroud the heathlands in eternal darkness. Zoura’s only hope lies with three children.

Twelve-year-old Lauren and her younger brothers, Aiden and Ethan, are determined to reignite the Tower of Light in Blooming Glen. But an attack by dark forces separates them, driving them into a valley of darkness. Without each other or their Knight Protector, the three siblings must navigate the wilderness while fending off creatures tainted by evil. They fight not just for Zoura, but for their own survival.

Will the darkness overtake Lauren, Aiden, and Ethan? Or will they prove their faith is stronger and that they fear no evil?

More from Allen

The stakes have been raised in the 3rd book of the Towers of Light Series, Fear No Evil. The children have been separated from one another in the darkness shrouded, Muddy River valley. Evil prowls around them at every turn. Do they have the faith to fear no evil?

My favorite part about writing this book was a conversation I had with the real Ethan. I had a tight editorial deadline to meet and I decided to go on a writing retreat to finish the book. While I was trying to leave home, my youngest the real life Ethan kept asking me questions and delaying my departure. Finally, I said, “You know the last time I wrote there was a ferocious bear about to eat Ethan. If I don’t sit down and start writing soon, he’s going to be a bear food.” Ethan’s reply was, “Yah you better go write now!” You’ll have to pick up Fear no Evil to see if I got back to the story in time.

My Thoughts

Fear No Evil by Allen Brokken is a middle grade fantasy book. I would say that this book is geared toward 8-14. My 9 year old, who reads at a 7th/8th grade level enjoyed it very much. This is also book three in the Towers of Light series. While I have not read the other books in the series - we had no problems following along. I think because we enjoyed this book so much - we will go back and read the other two so that we can have a clear picture of how we got to where we are. The author does an amazing job of writing these characters.

In this story - we see Lauren, Aiden, and Ethan , three siblings are separated from each other and from all adults who care for them in an accident. The overlying faith element is clinging to your faith in God. My son said "Mom - even when things seem dark and scary - God is always there and will provide a way out." It was a great life lesson. He also writes a lot of Biblical truths in this story. I love how he interwove them into the story. There is also the perfect amount of danger and suspense for my son to read.

I received a copy of this book through the Celebrate Lit Blogging Program - all thoughts are my own.
