Nick Altman, an experienced master of science fiction and fantasy, blends in this work what he knows and loves best: military-historical themes and the limitless possibilities of fiction. The result of this passion is an impressive saga where history and magic intertwine in a way that compels you to keep reading, page after page, until the very end. Children of the Empire is not just a story about battles, though its epic war scenes will leave you breathless. It is also a tale of people, their weaknesses and strengths, and the struggle between loyalty and personal convictions. Rugovit, the main protagonist, perfectly embodies this conflict. As a warrior of extraordinary abilities, he must confront not only external foes but also his own questions: What does it mean to be a leader? How does power shape who we are? And where is the line between duty and justice? Inspired by the underexplored and underrepresented Croatian-Slavic mythology, Altman creates a world rich in detail and incredibly convincing. His love for history is evident in every description of sieges, military strategies, and relationships between emperors. But Altman doesn't just build empires; he paints the fates of the people who live and fight within them. Every city, every battle, and every dialogue is part of a larger tapestry-a story about the clash of civilizations, the conflict between might and spirit, and the quest to create something lasting out of chaos. However, the true strength of this work lies in the emotional depth of its characters. Altman's works are always more than stories-they are bridges between the past and imagination, between reality and dreams. Children of the Empire is no exception. This is a book that will, above all, entertain you, but it will also make you question yo
