King Eärendur of Arnor is growing old. He decides to divide his kingdom between his three daughters, Gilraen, Anorwen and Ithiliel. But when Ithiliel refuses to flatter him like her sisters, the King banishes her.
After being rejected by Gilraen and Anorwen at their homes, Eärendur falls into madness and wanders the wilds of Arnor.
Based on Shakespeare's King Lear, with its themes of family loyalty, authority, madness and reconciliation, The Last King explores how Arnor became divided into three realms, a decision which would lead to its eventual downfall.

A routine patrol escalated and Aearon soon found herself separated from her brother and the rest of the Teleri forces, pursuing a group of dark creatures that tormented her lands. While carrying out her duty, Aearon found herself at the mercy of the cold Prince of Mirkwood and King Thranduil himself. Finding herself locked in Thranduil's dungeon, the she-elf soon finds herself becoming friends with the most unlikely of creatures who steer her life on to a whole new path. Accompanying the group of dwarves to their home, Aearon finds herself battling both foe and feeling as she struggles to survive the dangers of middle earth. Will she allow herself to become compromised by her feelings or will she continue on her journey to prove herself. Either way, she will do whatever it takes to keep her word and help her friends while avoiding another stay in King Thranduil's dungeon, much to his displeasure.
