Sometimes, it's the outsiders who have the most to offer.

And the most to lose.

As monstrous hordes of Trell carve bloody swathes across the southern nation of Ollaj, northern Kardalan quietly revels in its neighbor's downfall. Until the Trell appear at their own borders.

The fate of both countries now rests upon the shoulders of two unlikely heroes...

Erik H¸degaal, a disgraced Kardelian nobleman and warrior, unjustly branded a traitor and shunned for his father's sins.

And youthful Prej, the last of Ollaj's mages, an inexperienced apprentice who hides a secret calling she feels ill-prepared to fulfill.

To thwart the Trell scourge, these traditional enemies must forge an alliance, rallying a ragtag band of soldiers and sorcerers to face an enemy razing everything in their path.

In a world where old grudges run deep and new horrors emerge, Erik and Prej must learn to trust each other-or else bear witness to the destruction of both their homelands.

***

For fans of John Gwynne, Leigh Bardugo, Robert Jordan, and Jennifer Fallon.

Last Among Equals received an Honorable Mention in the Next Best Read Writing Contest 2025!

Industry Reviews

"The world is richly described, battles action packed, and characters believable. The end left me satisfied, and yet eager for another novel in the world of Ollaj and Kardalan. I hope there's a sequel to come!" - Alister Hodge, author of Empire of Blood and Sand

"A dark world filled with magic, beasts, monsters, and gods with their own motives. Filled with action, believable characters, and banter between them that makes you crave every page." - Carina Inkdrinker

"This is one of those books that just creeps up and surprises you. There's a nice, light writing style, whether it's an action scene or some slower description, that makes this such an easy read. The story is engaging, and the worldbuilding has some interesting elements to it that just beg for further exploration. I think this is a very slick book, with the relatively low pagecount (for a fantasy) pointing to an efficiency of writing, rather than a light story." - Dom McDermott of Dominish Books
