The war is over. The enemy has won. Now it's time to fight back. For generations, the people of Jia - a land where magic has long since faded from the world, clinging on in only a few rare individuals - have been protected from the northern Egril hordes by their warrior caste, but their enemy has not been idle. They have rediscovered magic and use it to launch an overwhelming surprise attack. An invasion has begun. And in moments, the war is over. Resistance is quashed. Kings and city leaders are barricaded in their homes awaiting banishment and execution, the warriors are massacred, and a helpless people submit to the brutality of Egril rule. Jia's heroes have failed it. They are all gone. And yet... there is still hope. Soon the fate of the kingdom will fall into the hands of a schoolboy terrorist, a crippled Shulka warrior and his wheelchair bound son, a single mother desperate enough to do anything she can to protect her baby... and Tinnstra, disgraced daughter of the Shulka's greatest leader, who now lies dead by Egril hands. A brand new epic fantasy: gritty and modern featuring a unique ensemble of characters who will lead a revolution against their overlords. PERFECT FOR readers of Brent Weeks, Brandon Sanderson, and Peter V. Brett

THE TIME HAS COME. SEKINOWARI - THE LAST WAR - HAS ARRIVED. The breakneck conclusion to the trilogy that started with We Are the Dead. To beat the ultimate evil, sometimes the price is more than you can pay . . . The war with the Egril has changed Tinnstra forever. A coward no more, she'll go to any length to defeat every last one of her enemies. Zorique has grown into her powers. It's time for her to lead her army into Jia and spearhead the fight for her homeland. But at what cost? The Egril emperor Raaku - the Son of Kage himself - is waiting for them. And he intends to destroy Zorique, Tinnstra and all their allies. They will need to put everything on the line if Jia hopes to see the dawn. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PRAISE FOR THE LAST WAR: 'Like Tarantino crossed with David Gemmell' Peter McLean, author of Priest of Bones 'Dark, brutal, wonderful' Nick Martell, author of The Two-Faced Queen 'A must-read for all fans of the genre' The Chronicler 'Heart-hammering' Novel Notions 'Staggering, marvellous and gripping' Grimdark Magazine 'An adventure that's rich in darkness and bloodshed' SFX
