The Syk'm

By Richard Dee

Behave, or the Syk'm will come and take you away!

Tales of the mythical Syk’m have been used for centuries to frighten the children of Skander. Now that Hors Lawis is older, they no longer terrify him and he has almost forgotten their existence.

Until the day the Syk’m come to find him. Their message is clear: they need his help. Soon.

It was the day Hors discovered that the Syk'm were not the monsters he had always believed them to be.

That there were others in the universe.

Now he must convince his friends to help fight a battle it isn’t certain they can win, for a race of people who have always been the enemy.

In a race against time to save the Syk’m, everything Hors has ever known is turned upside down.

Can Hors and his friends put aside their doubts and help the Syk’m, before it’s too late?
