An infamous exiled dragonslayer and a determined maid are all that stands between a corrupt, hungry dragon king and the city they call home.
It’s believed among the city of Drummbek that the mighty dragonslayer, Del Thorburn, fell high and hard from her pedestal after the Great War.
She’s a drunk and prone to acts of recklessness. Why else would she accuse the king of such a terrible crime?
The first time she fought for the truth, she lost everything. But Del isn’t the type who gives up easily.
She’s found a horse and a weapon, and she’s making her way back home, even if it means facing the hangman’s noose.
This time, she won’t fight the battle on her own.
This time, a castle maid with a rusty sword will be on hand to help.
Tabitha Dunn can’t ignore the screams echoing around Drummbek castle. It’s time for her to find out who she can be when she’s not being told to mop the floors.
Soon, it’s not just a question of exposing the king, it becomes a fight to keep herself and those she loves alive.
This is a battle neither Del or Tabitha can afford to lose.
There will be blood, there will be death, there will be love and above all, there will be magic.
This is the first book in The Last War, a sword and sorcery fantasy series.
The Last War series includes:
Matter Of Time
Despite Our Enemies
In My Bones
With A Scream
'Wow! Loved this book after reading the first page. The story grabbed me and I'm cared about the characters straight away.
Easy to read as the story just flowed. A fantastic read, looking forward to reading the next one.' ★★★★★
'Several leading female characters without clichéd history and love interests are more than refreshing!! Assign yourself some quiet time once you reach chapter 19; you won't want to put it down.' ★★★★★
'Unlike a lot of this kind of book this one had an interesting plot and more than just a few twists in the plot.' ★★★★★
