Elevator Pitch
The Almir Saga is a character-driven epic fantasy born from ten years of real tabletop RPG campaigns. Every major decision in the narrative was made by a real player at the table — the risk was genuine, the consequences permanent. The result is a story no single author could have invented: unpredictable, emotionally honest, and driven entirely by human nature.
Series Overview
- Genre: Epic fantasy — character-driven, politically complex, morally ambiguous
- Tone: Grounded and emotionally honest — choices have real, irreversible consequences
- Target audience: Readers who enjoy morally complex, character-first fantasy (comparable shelf to Joe Abercrombie, Robin Hobb)
- Original edition: 23 Slovak volumes published since 2011; 14th Slovak volume currently in preparation
- English edition: Condensed into approx. 8–12 volumes for the international market — tighter pacing while preserving full world depth

Synopsis
Three travelers meet by chance in a forest shelter during a storm. A ranger heading north to repay an old debt. A barbarian warrior who has lost everything and trusts no one. A young mage searching for a cure for his dying father.
That night, a scream cuts through the rain — the cry of a dying man. What follows draws the three into a conspiracy that runs deeper than any of them expected, in a world where the line between good and evil is never where it appears to be.
Key Selling Points
- Unique origin: the narrative emerged from real, decade-long tabletop play — player decisions create authentic character behaviour and genuinely unpredictable plot turns that no author could manufacture.
- Proven audience: the Slovak and Czech editions have been in continuous publication since 2011, with an established readership across both countries.
- Series depth: 100 interconnected stories across the full saga — substantial world-building with long-running commercial potential.
- Adaptation potential: strong ensemble cast, political layers and clear visual tone make it well-suited for audio, screen or graphic novel adaptation.
