Elizabeth Hall Boyer (born 1952) is an American fantasy author[1][2][3] who produced books in the 1980s and early 1990s.
[4] Boyer studied English literature and Scandinavian mythology at Brigham Young University.
While Norse myths influenced fantasy, including authors like Tolkien and Lewis, Boyer's works followed them more closely than other writers.
Her stories are characterized by elements like light and dark elves, dwarves, trolls, sorcerers, ley lines, burial mounds, and wizards.
The Skyla series was noted as "less ambitious" and darker yet slow-paced, patchy, and tentative.
