Category:Ben Rector albumsIn “Take My Helmeth,” The Legend of the Seeker writer Sam R. Allen takes our favorite (temporary) band of light knights on a perilous mission: to retrieve the four “holy swords” in the possession of a dark lord. This “feat of strength” promises to deliver our heroes the power they need to defeat their greatest nemesis, but it’ll come at a price. The champion of the dark forces is no easy opponent, and his castle is protected by a cloaking shield called the Spell of Insomnia, which only an expert could penetrate. Add to that a legendary treasure trove, and a horde of angry banshees, and our heroes could be up against an overzealous wizard and two-headed dragon.
For those of us who aren’t lucky enough to have a GoT-sized pile of dragon claws or a wizard bent on world domination, we can appreciate Allen’s take on this classic theme in In Search of the Darkly-Adorned. As with all of his “heroic quests” for the brainy lads of the Seventh Sea, the result is always more than the sum of its parts. There are plenty of twists and turns along the way, and an epic battle is always only a few twists away.
Our heroes must first defeat a wizard bent on world domination.
Allen employs the device of prologue and epilogue chapters in order to introduce and sum up the events of the story. In the epilogue, the heroes are sent on a secret mission to recover the lost “holy swords,” and it all begins with a treasure trove of the sort to rival The Lord of the Rings (that’s no small feat, as anyone who has read LotR will tell you). They are welcomed to the dark castle and told to wait for their invitation to the inner sanctum. It’s not long, however, before they realize they’ve made a mistake.
Now, you may be thinking, “how could this be a mistake? We’re sent on a mission!” And you would be correct. Their mistake is a very human one: thinking they can be359ba680
