Boyer's early books are dominated by the theme of the heroic quest.īoyer attended Brigham Young University where she studied English literature and Scandinavian mythology. Boyer tended to follow the Norse versions of these story elements closely without much deviation. Her stories are characterized by light and dark elves, dwarves, trolls, sorcerers, ley lines, burial mounds, wizards, and so forth. While Norse mythology has been an influence on the fantasy genre, and many authors such as Tolkien and Lewis were influenced by these myths, Boyer's books followed them much more closely. Her stories were deeply influenced by Norse mythology, and are set in a fantasy world whose climate and geography resembles that of the Scandinavia of Norse myths.
Elizabeth Boyer is an American fantasy author who produced a number of books in the 1980s and early 1990s.
