Oracle Quest

By Lisa Wright DeGroodt

How do you loose the magic of your childhood? By growing up and discovering that rent, food, and health insurance take the place of pixie dust, fairytales and imagination. Just when she's resigned herself to the boring fate of being an adult, imagine Katie Gaber's surprise when she finds herself thrust into a parallel dimension to our own, a Land where she is an all powerful Oracle.

In the Land, Katie embarks on an historic quest to save the Prince of the Land and restore him to the throne before Evil manages to upset the delicate balance between good and evil in an effort to overtake the dimension. Along the way she rediscovers magic and herself, and comes to rely on both to reach the fulfillment of her journey.

The first in a series, Oracle Quest introduces you to a world where the ordinary become extraordinary, and where one person can, indeed, make a difference.

Addicting, Excting and Wonderful

Oracle Quest: Book 1 in the Quest Series (Quest (iUniverse Paperback)) is such a wonderful find. From the first page to the last you feel yourself sinking into it like a comfy cozy chair and it touches your soul. How nice it is to find a book with a strong message of the power of good over evil and that even a young woman can find the strength in herself to be a hero. Lisa Wright DeGroodt has weaved a tale here that is not mere literary fluff but sink your teeth into it good. I cant wait to read the rest of the series.

Leave the mundane and enter the exquisite

If you are getting a little tired of life in our world, get Oracle Quest. On a lazy day open up the book and as our heroine Katie falls asleep find yourself falling in to the miraculous Land. Where life is similar but not the same. Go on a Quest with magical powers that Katie never knew she had in our world dimension. Help restore the balance to the Land and keep evil at bay. I read this book in one day! I immediately had to order the other three quest books. Order all 4 books now! You will love them! Oracles, Wizards, Warriors,Good, Evil oh my. You just gotta buy!!!

Great Beginning to a Series

At this point, I have read several Lisa Wright DeGroodt's books in the Quest Series. Oracle Quest is the most simple of the group, but it does a great job at establishing her "world" and creating the characters. [...] I find the character development to be very good. There is a definite sense of purpose and the characters are written in such a way that they are believable and imaginable. In this first Quest, Katie becomes the first traveler to the Land and helps to rescue the Prince and re-establish him as the ruler. There are several great scenic treks across the Land's interesting Landscape and interesting characters like Beaufin the wizard and Maxt the guardsman. I recommend this book on its own merits, but even more so as the first of a really good series. The books only get better as they go.

Absolutely Amazing!

While this book is aimed at fantasy fans, anyone who enjoys a great storyline with well-drawn, engaging characters and humor to boot will LOVE Oracle Quest. Ms. DeGroodt has a real talent for drawing the reader into her story. With no effort at all, the reader is transported to the mystical Land where magic AND mayhem abound. Like the title character, we experience all of the sights, sounds and discoveries of this new place, falling in love with its innocence as well as its mystery. The fight against Evil has never been so tantalizing and so urgent, as the stage is set for what promises to be a long line of great stories to come. Alive with emotion, action, laughter and an unerring sense of hope, Oracle Quest begs you to continue the journey, to follow along on the adventure and to become a part of the Quest. BRAVO!
