Purchase options and add-ons

A young Jurchen prince, disgusted by the lies and corruption of empire, abandons his title and privilege to live as a simple farmer on the vast Eurasian steppe.

When he risks his life to save a desperate young nomad in trouble, he is pulled into the brutal, honor-bound world of the tribes — and discovers something he never expected: a fierce new family, unbreakable loyalty, and the love of his life.

Together they build a home against all odds. But the steppe is merciless, and the friend he saved carries a deadly secret that could change the fate of nations.

As enemies close in and a woman he cares for is taken captive, Yasotay must choose between the peaceful life he fled to and the warrior he was born to be — all while unknowingly helping to unleash one of history’s most legendary forces.

The first book in the War of Fear trilogy — an epic saga of one man’s Hero’s Journey inside the real birth of the Mongol Empire, blending the raw emotion of Braveheart with the sweeping historical and philosophical depth of Shōgun.

Every single copy sold sends 100 % of the proceeds directly to Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and Wounded Warrior Project. Because some wars never end — but some good can still rise from them.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A coming-of-age tale like none other. Read it!" -Anthony Swofford, New York Times bestselling author of Jarhead

"An intriguing read that captivates and weaves an alternative narrative, inviting readers to explore a world where imagination and history intersect in fascinating ways." -Baasanjav Terbish, Researcher of Mongolia and Inner Asia Studies at University of Cambridge and author of Sex in the Land of Genghis Khan

"A riveting look at the world's first special forces. The novel applies the lessons of Tzu's Art of War into a narrative that makes the motivations of Genghis Khan's most elite Mongols part of an accessible and visceral experience. It leaves you enriched but hungry for the second installment." -Barry Jesinoski, CEO of the Disabled American Veterans

Umberto Nardolicci’s War of Fear Eye of the Nomad is a riveting and thought-provoking exploration of the human psyche under duress, blending historical intrigue with psychological depth in an elegantly crafted narrative. Fans of complex, character-driven narratives will find a lot to appreciate in this engrossing and thought provoking work.
Nardolicci’s keen insight into the human condition shines through offering moments of profound introspection. The novel moves fluidly between different emotional states, giving readers a nuanced understanding of what it means to confront both inner and outer wars.
Nardolicci’s portrayal of Yasotay (the architect behind Genghis Khan’s special forces) is not only personal, but also societal, reflecting the ways in which fear can shape both entire civilizations as well as family dynamics. This ties to one of the novel’s greatest achievements, its ability to engage with timeless themes; courage, survival, sacrifice, and the ethical complexities of war, while maintaining an authentic, character driven approach.
In sum, War of Fear Eye of the Nomad is an engaging novel that combines historical fiction with an exploration of bravery.

This was an engrossing historical fiction about a period/culture I know little about so it was extra interesting for me. Yasotay is a great character. I love his thirst for knowledge and his loyalty (and his awesome donkey Tata). But the problem with getting an advance copy of a series book is that now I have to wait even longer for the next book in the series! I hope the next one comes out soon as I am would love to see the story unfold from here.

I found this book to be very well-written and extremely descriptive, making you feel like you’re actually in the scene. I could picture myself standing in the middle of the lush green steppe of Mongolia. The description of the ancient temples made you feel like you were placed center stage in the story. I think telling this story through the eyes of Yasotay (a Chinese prince) made learning about Genghis Khan’s world that much easier and more interesting. You see what being a nomad is like, along with the main character, which made it and him very engaging. This is a quick read, or at least I had difficulty setting it down. This first book looks like a setup for a bigger story. I don’t know much about Genghis other than he killed a lot of people and captured a lot of land so the second and third books could be EPIC

Found this to be interesting to the extent that it covered a little publicized era but found the writing to be too sterile and bland to constitute a good story. Felt like the author was trying to make sure that this stayed a PG rated book (the action, romance, character development and even the celebration scenes were just bland) or this had been written in another language and the translator did a poor job of conveying any excitement. Was sufficiently intrigued to read about 2/3 of the book but then gave up when I realized that the characters were so cardboard that I just didn't care about the ending.

This is the first book that I've read that covers this time period and the detail is amazing. You can obviously tell there has been an incredible amount of historical research put into this novel. Yasotay is a compelling character that comes alive off the pages. Other reviews give a good synapsis of the plot line, but there is a lot more than that. This book shows the beginning of military special forces. Why do we have Navy SEALs or Green Berets today? It traces back to this time and this period.
There is not a lot of good fiction that is like this. Lots of summer romance books and then hard core Tom Clancy type books. This would be a great read and gift for someone that may not be interested in reading fiction. Plus all of the proceeds of this book go to support Veterans! This alone is a reason to buy and read this book.
A great read for a great time period that has a great cause! A triple win!!!!! Read it

The story is a historical fiction about the early relationship of Genghis Khan and his friend Yasotay. Very descriptively specific, ie: what the temples were like during that time, the landscape, et. The story of Yasotay and his search for his purpose in life was interesting and kept my attention throughout. I specifically loved the second half of the story: intrigue, love, community, brotherhood- the story has it all.

This is a fun action adventure love story that will keep the reader turning pages! Yasotay, the protagonist, is a likeable guy. A man’s man. Smart, athletic, and a highly trained warrior. But he’s also calm and has a sense of purpose. Unhappy with scheming politics in China, Yasotay embarkes on a journey to Mongolia. A tribal region with no apparent rules but that of the local tribespeople. He stumbles across this Wild West tribal society and soon becomes immersed in a blood feud - Helping his friends on their path of justice. As this blood feud escalates beyond the pale, so do the real intentions of his friends. Unbeknownst to Yasotay, he was creating a monster. And soon, the true intentions of this monster are revealed and a path of death and destruction has begun.
I can’t wait until the 2nd Book is released!

Eye of the Nomad is an engaging historical fiction novel that follows Yasotay and Temujin (Genghis Khan) from their humble beginnings on the path to building a vast empire. The book does a great job blending history with storytelling, making it both informative and entertaining.
I enjoyed seeing the early struggles and growth of the main characters, and the historical details made the setting feel real without slowing down the story. This book covers only the beginning of their journey, and I’m looking forward to the next installment to see how their story unfolds.
If you like historical fiction that brings real events to life in a compelling way, Eye of the Nomad is worth a read.
