Last Worst Hopes

di Lee Hunt (Autore)

Lee Hunt, 2022

"A superior epic fantasy, driven by strong characterization and a sense of utter desperation." - Booklife Reviews Editor's Pick "Hunt exemplifies how to make heroes shine within the large cast of a sprawling saga. A sumptuous bonus meal for fans who devoured the author's Dynamicist trilogy." - Kirkus Reviews "A skyrocketing plot interspersed with deliciously entertaining and well-constructed scenes of fierce battles and magic. Equally intriguing is Hunt’s musing on friendship, courage, bravery, integrity, and duty. Un-put-downable." - BookView Recommended Read "Hunt’s highly gripping standalone is as much a cerebral story as an action-driven tale. This is a whirlwind adventure that will leave readers hungry for more." - Prairies Book Review Their world was ending, all the heroes were dead, the leaders confused, and their enemies were head and shoulders above them. But there was no one else; they were the dregs, the last worst hopes. Nehring Ardgour has summoned Skoll and Hati from hell. They have torn through the proud and ancient country of Engevelen and the angelic Methueyn Knights that protect it. Armies have died, cities have fallen. None of the great remain. No brilliant inventors, no powerful knights, no master wizards. No heroes. But it gets worse. Farrah Harbinger has looked into the future and foretells the coming of an enemy worse than all the others, a creature of destruction and entropy like no other. A being who will grind all hopes and memory of civilization into dust: the One, True Devil. Who can stop it? Who is left to even try? Surely not Val, an arrogant young wizard who no one takes seriously, or Mick, an old man who can’t even remember his name. Certainly not Dav, who cannot seem to tell left from right or up from down, or Aveline, a squire filled with more questions than courage. No one would pick them to save the world, and yet there is no one else left.
