The Last Swordmage: A Magic of Solendrea Novel

By Martin Hengst

Her father sold her for twenty crowns and a pair of aurochs. She was worth far more.

Tiadaria is eighteen, clan-born, and stubborn to the bone. When a hard winter brings hunger to the Frozen Frontier, her own father trades her to a slaver, and a collar of witchmetal closes around her throat.

The man who buys her is no ordinary master. Royce is a legend of the Human Imperium, a war hero who led its armies for decades, and he is dying. He has a secret he has kept from the King himself, and a reason for choosing her that he won't explain until she's ready to hear it.

As Royce trains her in the blade, something older than steel wakes inside her. Then a village burns in the night, and the survivors whisper about monsters everyone swore were only a story told to frighten children.

The Xarundi have come back. Humanity's oldest enemy wants the Imperium in ruins, and the only weapon that might stop them is a slave girl who hasn't yet learned what she is.

The Last Swordmage is the first book in the Magic of Solendrea, a sword-and-sorcery series of steel, sacrifice, and dark magic, written for adult readers.
