IRON ASCENDANCY OF ORTARK (The Synaxis Warbreed Book 1)

In the year 4123 AC, the galaxy is drowning in war.Empires burn. Faiths collapse. Ancient powers move in the dark between the stars.But far beyond the borders of human civilization, something far worse is awakening.Created by the enigmatic Synaxis, the Krorkin are not the savage raiders the galaxy believes them to be. They are the perfected form of war itself—engineered from Ork, human, and elven genetics and fused with living nanotechnology. Massive, intelligent, and brutally disciplined, they are the ultimate soldiers.And now they have a king.Lakieren Ortark, the largest and most powerful of his kind, begins the Great Gathering—a campaign to unite the fractured Ork war worlds under a single banner. Through fire, blood, and conquest, he must crush rival warlords, conquer hostile worlds, and forge billions of warriors into a single unstoppable war machine.Desert planets fall.Machine worlds burn.Armadas shatter in orbit.But every victory draws the attention of far greater enemies.Because the galaxy already belongs to powerful factions: the fanatical Crimson Order, the ancient intelligence of the Synaxis, and human empires that have ruled the stars for millennia.None of them are ready for what is coming.A warlord born for conquest.An army bred for annihilation.And a gathering storm that will shake the entire galaxy.The Great Gathering has begun.And the stars will learn to fear the Krorkin.
