The Last Tragedy (Warbler Chronicles)

The Last Tragedy (Warbler Chronicles) Review

Two of the world's greatest adventurers have disappeared, and it falls to their heirs - Jake Warbler and the half-sprite Noxie - to retrace their steps and understand these dark, mysterious vanishings. The only clues point to history's most famous work of unread literature: the Last Tragedy of Coeldoetta of Jueln. But the Tragedy has eluded all seekers for nearly fifteen hundred years. Can Jake and Noxie succeed where so many others have failed? And can they do so while outpacing a bloody-minded cult that seems to have undone the two most powerful figures in their lives?

The Last Tragedy is a sweeping work of adventurous fantasy, set in a world of skyships and floating continents, brimming with magic and full of peril. It pits heroes of wit and skill against villains whose striking depravity will not soon leave the reader's mind.

About the Author: Herb Mallette has been writing fantasy novels for over a decade, after writing and editing dozens of comic book titles in the 1990s. Four books are complete in his Warbler Family Chronicles, with publication to progress throughout 2012. The first sequel, The Sharp Edge of Memory, is currently available.

Book length: 175,000 words, about the equivalent of a 400-page hardback or 700-page paperback
