Braveheart and A Game of Thrones meets Stephen King in Scott Palmer's Award Winning, Bestselling epic fantasy series, The Last Ballad.
 
Fires refuse to burn. The skies are thirsty and breathless. The earth won't eat its rot...
Welcome to Ardura.
 
James Culdaine, the last heir of the Northern Throne, was just a young man when the armies of the South murdered his parents and subjugated his lands. He has never forgotten those responsible, nor has he forgiven. He has spent the last ten years living in isolation with The Feldarra; a sacred Northern clan of fierce warriors, led by the fearless Wulfee who, still reeling from the loss of her own children, finds new meaning in protecting what only family she has left.
Now, an ancient order of warlocks has returned to the North, singing dark songs composed of blood magic that null the elements and threaten all that is living.
With nature depleted and the Southern armies returning to the North, James struggles to embrace the unique power he has long tried to repress; the ability to commune with the spirits of the dead. In the bitter heart of a growing war, with the world dying around them, James and Wulfee desperately seek answers, vengeance, and a way to save the ones they love... No matter the cost.
 
In a dying land, the armies of the dead hold sway. And those who rule them are more god than human.

WINNER of the Literary Titan Gold Book Award

"It’s rare to find a debut that feels so polished, so assured." —Literary Titan

Three strangers. One deadly kingdom. No way home.

Ripped from their worlds, Ell, Hellion, and Desde find themselves stranded in the ruthless desert empire of Al’idris. Their only chance of survival—and returning home—is to trust each other.

But Al’idris is a land of treacherous magic and buried secrets. A forester haunted by whispers, a priestess cut off from her god, and an enchantress whose spells steal her life must strike a dangerous deal with the queen: uncover a truth that could shatter the kingdom, and they might earn their way back.

As magic twists, loyalties crack, and a terrifying transformation looms, the real question isn’t just how to get home—but if they’ll survive long enough to try.

A fast-paced, epic fantasy perfect for fans of The Witcher, Gideon the Ninth, and spellbinding adventures with fierce heroines.
