Publisher Description

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.
