      The first book in The Last War series: a debut epic fantasy full of crunching revolutionary action, twisted magic, and hard choices in dark times.

      Dive into an epic fantasy full of crunching revolutionary action, twisted magic, and hard choices in dark times.

      The war is over. The enemy won.


      Jia''s people learned the hard way that there are no second chances. The Egril, their ancient enemy, struck with magic so devastating that Jia''s armies were wiped out. Now terror reigns in the streets, and friend turns on friend just to live another day.

      Somehow Tinnstra - a deserter, a failure, nothing but a coward - survived. She wants no more than to hide from the chaos.

      But dragged into a desperate plot to retake Jia, surrounded by people willing to do anything to win the fight, this time Tinnstra will need to do more than hide.

      If Jia is to get a second chance after all, this time she will need to be a hero.

      With all the grit of Joe Abercrombie, Mark Lawrence and Ed McDonald, this is a debut epic fantasy with the sharpest of edges.
