Quest
A mission or journey sends characters beyond the world they know.
56 books on this shelf, newest first.
Quest stories create momentum through purpose. Characters must find a person, object, answer, destination, or way home, and the route tests their skills and relationships as much as the final objective.
Where to start: Choose young adult fantasy for a quick-moving adventure, epic fantasy for a larger party and world, or science fiction for missions beyond familiar planets. Found family often develops along the road.
