If you’re searching for adult epic fantasy adventure set in a lush, dangerous world—like the decaying tropical empire of Zanetla, ruled by prophecy, corruption, and gods who meddle—The Oracle of Ixic belongs on your shelf. The book delivers high-stakes action, a richly layered mythos, irreverent humour, bursts of horror and existential dread, and a strong thread of hope and found-family that keeps the story entertaining, even in its darkest moments.

The story’s central themes revolve around fate versus free will, imperialism, moral compromise, and the corrosive pull of power. You’ll encounter fallen prophets, warriors shaped by vengeance, god-tier weapons, and mythical villains who demand reckoning for ancestral sins. The journey carries you across many lands and cultures, each one marked by its histories, loyalties, and scars, with a momentum that steadily raises the stakes for its protagonists.

If you enjoy stories that feel ancient yet immediate, where karmic consequence collides with human failure without extinguishing all light, The Oracle of Ixic will be your kind of epic fantasy.
