Description
At fourteen, Delta has crossed half the continent and braved innumerable trials alongside her nomadic family. But her toughest challenge still lies ahead. Tasked with attending a sorcery academy in the far-flung city of Samarzal, she must first survive the perilous journey there.
With her uncle and cousin, she joins a caravan that ventures onto the notorious Forsaken Road — a treacherous path plagued by hungry demons, evil necromancers, and murderous locals.
Not everything is bleak, though. Bonds of friendship are forged along the journey, but some travellers harbour secrets darker than the Forsaken Road. Would Delta's resolve and newfound allies be enough for her to complete her journey?
Delta is no princess or kickass heroine with flowing skirts. Just a girl from the plains, coming of age in a brutal, fascinating world. This is a story of grit, resilience, and growing up under unforgiving stars.
The Forsaken Road beckons. Walk it if you dare.
Advance Praise
"If I have to describe this book using three adjectives, I would choose: exciting, alluring and audacious. 'I am A Barbarian' could very well be the new Harry Potter.
Carol Cumming, Ebookfairs
Overtly, this book combines elements like action, adventure, gods, demons, and magic to create a thrilling storyline. But covertly, it highlights much deeper issues; like cross-cultural warfare, societal divisions, gender-role expectations, female empowerment, strong female leads, father-daughter relationships, resilience, and family support.

I can't say that I've read books similar to this one, because it definitely has a unique narrative structure and storyline. The characters are engaging and fascinating... This novel is certainly an amazing coming of age story. Additionally, there are a variety of different ethnic groups, cultures, peoples, languages and traditions mentioned in the book. It is a lot to process initially, but I love complex novels with intriguing and in-depth world-building sequences.
Oliva Sundit, Ebookfairs
the storyline is constantly bustling and convulsing with activity. There is no time for rest, and little time for peace, until a new activity...or challenge...or danger...presents itself.
