The Last Immortals: Dawn of the Axolotl

The Last Immortals: Dawn of the Axolotl tells the story of Ace, an abandoned axolotl who struggles to survive both human and animal predators in his quest to save himself—and his entire species. This epic middle grade fantasy, perfect for fans of Warrior Cats, introduces readers to the fascinating world of axolotls, the X-Men of the sea.

There's danger lurking in the depths of the lake. Ace learns this early when his twin brother cruelly devours his tail and leaves him for dead. Separated from his family, he is cast off into the depths of a perilous waterway. Ace is wary of trusting others, but his survival depends on it as he navigates treacherous algae blooms and hunts for food, all while he waits for his tail to regenerate.

When Ace stumbles upon a glowing green axolotl named Ariel, he discovers that with training, axolotls can develop an incredible power: immortality. However, with high rewards come unspeakable risks, and having been hurt before, Ace finds the potential to cheat death might be too hard to resist.

This action-packed adventure explores the strength that develops through adversity as Ace confronts bullying, betrayal, poisoned waters, and vicious predators. Along the way, he forms lasting bonds with the courageous axolotls he meets, uncovering the true power of friendship and resilience.
