The Last Namsara
A gripping YA crossover series from a spectacular new voice in the genre for readers of Kristin Cashore, Sabaa Tahir and Victoria Aveyard
The Last Namsara is an extraordinary story about courage, loyalty and star-crossed love, set in a kingdom that trembles on the edge of war.
Destroyer. Death bringer. Dragon-slayer. I am more weapon than girl.
Asha is a dragon-slayer. Reviled by the very people she's sworn to protect, she kills to atone for the wicked deed she committed as a child—one that almost destroyed her city and left her with a terrible scar.
But protecting her father's kingdom is a lonely destiny: no matter how many dragons she kills, her people still think she's wicked.
To unite the fractured kingdom, she must marry Jarek, her father's cruel commandant. As the wedding day approaches, Asha longs for freedom.
Just when it seems her fate is sealed, the king offers her a way out: her freedom in exchange for the head of the most powerful dragon in Firgaard.
The only person standing in her way is a defiant slave boy...
Praise for The Last Namsara
'The plot!!! The characters!!! The DRAGONS!!! This story really has all the elements I love best in fantasy, a heart wrenching story with plot twists and an unlikely romance, all while maintaining a very bad ass main character. She's vicious and ruthless but with a heart of gold and a secret she needs to hide from everyone who protects her.' - Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'This book was amazing. I've loved her from the very first page till the very last one. Dragons, kickass heroine, beautiful story of love and loss.' - Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'Hunger Games, Graceling, Incarceron and other favourite YA fantasy of mine have a new friend because The Last Namsara deserves a spot next to those gems on my print bookshelf!' - Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'Dragons. Honestly, if that doesn't lure you in, I don't know what will. I absolutely loved this book and it is a new favourite. Every aspect of this book was fantastic...the characters, the romance, the plot, the writing, the pacing. E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G!' - Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'If you love books of old stories or retellings, then you can't go wrong with this one. With a captivating origin story at its core, this novel is infused throughout with pages of fantastical myths and stories that rule a world long forbidden to tell them. The Last Namsara combines an exotic world setting with fierce characters bound by betrayal and unlikely heroes.' - Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
