"Breathe" she told herself, "Just breathe." What happens when one of the people you trust most hurts more than you've ever been hurt before. Maybe they didn't mean to hurt you, and maybe they feel bad, but you'll never know, because even looking at a picture of her makes your throat close and your hands shake. My name is Alex and this is my story.

In the year 903 CE, young Hamza, a 13-year-old boy living deep within the Moroccan forests with his family, is torn away from the only life he has ever known. When mysterious forces kidnap him and throw him into a world of darkness, magic, and forgotten memories, Hamza must survive a cursed dungeon, face monstrous foes, and awaken a mysterious power within his left hand - a burnt hand that seems to have a will of its own. Guided by a strange and eccentric boy named Jabbir, Hamza is taken on a journey he neither asked for nor understands. As friendships are forged and secrets buried deep begin to surface, the line between memory and magic begins to blur. Meanwhile, his family, led by his determined father Idris, refuses to give up on finding him - even as dark forces warn them to stay away. Filled with suspense, heartfelt moments, humor, and mystery, THE LAST WARRIOR is the beginning of an epic tale about destiny, loss, and the power of forgotten bonds.
