Genre: Epic Fantasy

BETRAYED. HUNTED. LEFT FOR DEAD. BUT NOT EVEN DEATH ITSELF CAN KEEP THE LAST RANGER FROM VENGEANCE…

Leiyn “Firebrand” is no stranger to a fight. A brash ranger of the Titan Wilds, she takes up her bow to ward against the colossal spirit creatures known as titans, ever a threat to the colonies she has sworn to protect.
But no amount of skill can guard against treachery.

When tragedy strikes the rangers’ lodge, Leiyn vows to avenge the fallen. But if she is to succeed, she must embrace a power within her she has long denied.
Power to move mountains and rivers.
Power over life and death.

She did not choose this path, but Leiyn knows her duty. For if she fails, the legacy of the rangers dies with her—and all the Titan Wilds will fall into shadow.

Helen’s Thoughts: 5/5

A sweeping epic fantasy with a hard assed FMC in Leiyn, who since childhood has been told the Gast’s killed her mother and she hated them ever since. As a result she is a rather prejudiced ranger and is quick to accuse instead of using her ranger training to investigate when the unthinkable happens and her base lodge is raided, killing everyone she knows and loves.

So starts the journey to discover what happened and why.

Set in the Titan wilds, so called because of the sleeping behemoths hidden within the land, and the elements, that once woken, wreak uncontrollable havoc, Leiyn has to overcome her innate beliefs, her hatred of anything related to the Gasts, and harness the power she has concealed all her life.

As she travels, she collects companions. She may be the Last Ranger, but all peoples will be affected by what happens next if she doesn’t find a way to stop it.

An enjoyable start to a new series, which is so well written that you don’t really notice the writing, you immerse yourself in the story. Great world building, plenty of action and adventure and characters flawed enough to keep it interesting.
