Look at her - she's Hill Clan. Even the Matyrani don't like them ...' 

Isaura - little is known about her race, but much is whispered. Born to refugees, she grows up enduring racism and superstition within a community that fears her. She has few friends, and those she treasures. Trapped, she longs for escape to a different life. 

Escape is only the beginning of her troubles. Having fled an invading army with her friends, Isaura is faced with heinous choices in order to survive. Secrets from her past emerge to torment her and threaten to destroy all she holds dear. Her struggles forge a bond with an ancient power - a power which may transform or consume her. 

Old hatreds and superstitions are renewed and at her most vulnerable she learns the true nature of those around her. Her only hope lies in a foreign land - a land rich in tradition; ruled by three powerful clans. A land with a history marked by warfare; where magic as we know it does not exist. Instead what is here, in abundance, is a more primal power. 

Survival carries a high price. Welcome to Altaica.

Industry Reviews

“Altaica is one hell of a fantasy adventure. The author, Tracy M. Joyce does a beautiful job of blending world building with colorful expression. The result of such a melody is fantastic prose and a fluency to her work.” Allison, Goodreads

“This story is wonderful and unique, greatly written, and it's just, wow. I couldn't put it down…I can't wait until next year to get my hands on the second book.” Lenissa, Goodreads

“It became hard to put the book down…If you really enjoy fantasy reads, you will enjoy this one. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to escape from reality.” Sam’s Reading Addiction

“This novel is not your typical fantasy novel, either, but introduces a lush, extremely interesting new world in a unique way. ” Amy, Goodreads   

“I love the development of the characters’ personality…The characters are well written & each one makes you want to know more about them…I didn't "feel" like I was reading…I got drawn into the world of Altaica and look forward to book 2” Jay, Goodreads

“Joyce is one of the few Fantasy authors that pays as much attention to building her characters as she does building her world and plots, and it makes Altaica one of the most satisfying Fantasy books I've read in a long time. If you're looking for a new Fantasy series with strong female leads and an author that brings a fresh take to the genre, I highly recommend Altaica.” Josh, Goodreads.

“Dang it’s good. Once in a while you run into books like Cindi Williams Chima's Gray wolves clan novels or Scarlett Dawn's King’s hall series and you just know you’ve hit the jackpot. This is one of those times. This is a series that will keep you wanting more.” Jelilat, Goodreads

"The novel fills numerous gaps I have been sorry to come across in the fantasy genre, particularly in its complex characters, strong female lead and its refusal to pander to audience sensibilities. Joyce unapologetically pushes her readers to the edges of moral complexities, leaving you thinking about this book long after you put it down...Supposedly targeted to a Young Adult, coming of age audience, Altaica has a much broader appeal. Joyce’s exploration of mature themes, and a refusal to censor the more realistic aspects of war and life makes for a thrilling escape into a brilliantly constructed speculative fiction world. I cannot sing its praises enough. Altaica is badass from start to finish." Jenna, Goodreads
