Since she was a young princess, Asha has killed to protect her father's kingdom. She longs to atone for the terrible deed she committed as a child - one that almost destroyed her city, and left her with a terrible scar.
But no matter how many dragons she kills, her people still think she's wicked.
So now she plans to slay the most powerful dragon of all.
And the only person standing in her way is a defiant slave boy, leading a rebellion she can't possibly be a part of . . .
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.
**********************************
One of my favourite books of all time. - Tomi Adeyemi, #1 NYT bestselling author of Children of Blood and Bone
An accomplished fantasy novel, of the kind I think of as "royal palace shenanigans", raised above the commonplace by one marvellous central premise - the idea that dragons are the custodians of the old tale. - Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat and The Gospel of Loki
Hugely enjoyable entertainment. Kristen Ciccarelli is most definitely an author to watch. - Edward Cox, author of The Relic Guild
Ciccarelli creates a fully immersive world before tearing it apart, casting doubt on who is bad, who is good and who is telling the truth. - The Globe and Mail
The Last Namsara is easily one of my favourite fantasy books of this year . . . It's fast paced, action packed, filled with a diverse cast . . . Fans of An Ember in the Ashes, Seven Realms, and the Shattered Realms series will devour this. - YABooksCentral
