In the ashes of the old Empire, a world of great men and new nations rising from the ashes of a fallen empire, Raven is a talented pain in the ass. A cynical, arrogant thief and fleecer, he has a dagger and lockpick up his sleeve and a comeback on his lips. He was once the younger brother of a boy who was prophesied to be an invincible warrior, and who was killed for that mistaken belief. Now he has only venom for causes and talk of destiny, happy to be a successful nobody. But when a mysterious job goes bad, he finds that the secrets he holds are vital to the coming war between the republic of High Iyanor and the necromantic dominion of Kishoria.
He is captured and coerced by an Iyan captain into guiding an expedition to find a long-forgotten weapon before the Kishorians can reach it. He joins a team of soldiers and mages, and if the danger were not enough, his party includes not only another fated young warrior but a member of the jotunn race that killed his brother. Bitterly, he leads them beneath the Temple Among Worlds, and they fight through barbaric goblins and cosmic monstrosities, navigate dark mazes, and sabotage horrific traps. Raven is distrusted, but only he knows that he has been courted by the Kishorians with a promise betray the Iyans, and walk away wealthy.
When plans fail, heroes fall, and deadly secrets are revealed, Raven’s cynicism and self-interest is tested by the valor of his companions. He might lead his allies to ruin… or he might use his dark reputation to lure his enemies into his most daring con yet.

Fatebreaker Book I A Pact of Lies The Fatebreaker Saga 1 eBook Matthew Siegard
I am usually pretty skeptical about fantasy/epic adventures like this since they tend to feel like rehashes of Lord of the Rings far too often (or even Game of Thrones for the more mature demographic). It’s rather difficult to make a story that stands out from rest, but A Pact of Lies lends itself nicely to this genre and feels refreshing rather than redundant. Everything from the multi-faceted characters to the imaginative landscape of the land to the twist-and-turn storytelling are all high marks for this first book of the Fatebreaker series.The story centers around Raven, a very clever and wise-cracking thief who has been summoned by the Iyans to embark on a journey to take down the evil Kishorian army, along with a group of other warriors, including a Sky Mage named Ignajca, a sautire creature named Kevork who doesn’t speak the native tongue but is one hell of a marksman, a stoic warrior – Caran - who has major trust issues with Raven, and Apostolis, who is the leader of the pact.
One of my favorite characters, though, aside from Raven himself, is Raven’s arch nemesis and fellow sarcastic bandit, Vaclav. Those two have some amazing chemistry together as they are constantly playing cat-and-mouse and trying to one up each other in their schemes (and one-liners). In general, one of the strengths of the author’s writing is making our protagonist fight with his wits as his primary weapon. Sure, he does have his fair share of combat with his trademark dagger, but it’s nice to know the character has been thoroughly well developed for this first part of the series.
The action scenes are very well developed and have very good buildup, though some of them are a bit lengthy. Not that the action scenes drag on forever, but I was much more interested in the intricate storyline than the occasional epic fight scene that would break out. Then again, anyone who loves that kind of detail-oriented break-neck action will probably love that aspect of the novel.
Overall, this was a very well though-out and compelling story and with the title “Book One”, I anxiously await the continuing saga. Fatebreaker has certainly gotten my attention. Hopefully, the next installment will be just as good.

Fatebreaker Book I A Pact of Lies The Fatebreaker Saga 1 eBook Matthew Siegard Reviews
Loved the story and can't wait for more! Not usually into fantasy, but reminded me of mideaval times with knights and magicians. The characters and descriptions of the settings transported me with detail. Raven, a thief and a loner, travels through many dangerous adventures. Great book!
