The critically acclaimed next installment to the Award-Winning epic fantasy series, the Last Ballad. By Amazon Bestselling author, Scott Palmer.

1300 years before the events of A Memory of Song, dragons ruled the skies.


Life Will End For All

Captain Dravien Tarbet of the Lovasi army has spent most of his life fighting the people of Esher on their own soil, only to have all attempts at victory snuffed out by the Draku King, Kassius Esterbraun, and his dragons.

Finally, after seven years on foreign soil, Dravien has returned home, though now he is heartbroken and more alone than ever. But when the Esheri army turns the table and crosses the Old Sea, with their dragons in tow, to make an invasion of their own upon the country of Lovas, Dravien is sent into the field to meet them in battle. There, he is badly injured and left to die. When he awakes, he finds himself in the enemy’s camp, under the care of a strange cult of Draku witches who call themselves the Ul Vosh Aris.

After being nursed back to health in strange, and unusual ways, Dravien is shown a life of peace and meaning that he never thought possible. But when the true reason that this cult of Draku has kept him alive is revealed, Dravien Tarbet is forced to make a decision between fighting for what he has always known, and fighting for what he has come to believe in.

About the Author

Scott Palmer was born in London, Ontario, Canada, where he lives with his wife, daughter, and two cats, and they conjure up magic (love and happiness) daily. His whole life has been a journey of collecting stories and stowing them like a library of experiences.

Growing up in Middle Earth, Kanto, and Hyrule, before moving to darker worlds like Westeros, The Circle of The World, and The Randlands provided a sturdy foundation for Scott’s imagination to grow upon. He traveled to those other worlds and walked, and fought, and bled with the people that lived there. It was somewhere in those pages that he fell in love with the art of storytelling. Since taking those first steps out of reality, Scott has immersed himself in creating his own world. A place that could transport readers somewhere they never dreamed of. A place of magic, and love, forgotten lore, and long history.

Scott started writing seriously in 2020 and now he cannot stop.
