Trained to track, kill, and endure, he has spent his life fighting monsters in the dark, without glory or reward. He believes orcs deserve no mercy—a bitter conviction for a man who carries their blood.When Zom and his band are sent into the Wild Moor, they expect another quiet hunt. Instead, they uncover signs of an ancient evil stirring once more—an enemy that does not bleed, does not bargain, and does not care for old hatreds.As war creeps out of the shadows, Zom faces an impossible choice: stand alone and doom them all, or fight alongside those he was born to hate.

The Tome of Syyx is the first book in The Fateful Force series by debut author Stavros Saristavros. From the moment I read the synopsis I knew this was a book I wanted to dive into. I am a huge fantasy fan and while the fantasy I normally read isn’t quite as battle heavy as this was, I was instantly taken in by the setting and characters. One thing that comes through really well throughout the novel is the author’s passion for D&D aka Dungeons and Dragons. That was something I never quite got in
Classic fantasy at its finestWhat a wonderful read! The Tome of Syyx is classic fantasy literature at its finest. The battle scenes were so well written & detailed, I could see them clearly in the cinema of my mind. Zom & Akke’s character arcs were delightful to experience: heartfelt and true to each as we watched them journey & grow. There were so many fine secondary characters to love & root for as well, with my favorite being Bizz the Goblin. His desire to acquire Ailuros as his battle-mount
“The Tome of Syyx” is the first book in The Fateful Force series by author Stavros Saristavros. The book is not short but I think it doesn’t feel heavy either. It has the right number of pages and narrative for such a story. Just by looking at the cover I knew I would love this book and I wasn’t wrong. The story developed is amazing from the very beginning and the characters are complete, well developed and complex. I liked them all. For those who like fantasy and battles, this is the right book
