The Last Dawn
The Last Dawn is a dark literary fantasy for an adult audience. With the brutality of Empire of the Vampire, the tragic ambition of The Poppy War, and the gothic emotional weight of Wuthering Heights, this is a female-led story where ambition is a dangerous game, fate is a noose, and love is the sharpest blade of all.
Hetta has spent her life clawing for power within the Nightspeaker Coven, refusing to bow to prophecy, politics, or love— but fate doesn’t care what you believe. When she’s assigned to uncover the tomb of the long-buried Bloodling Kings— demonic tyrants erased from history— Hetta’s research draws the attention of the Protectera, the Coven’s militant enforcers. She’s forced to work alongside Silnan, a stoic lieutenant with secrets inked into his skin and a curse in his blood. Their alliance begins with suspicion and burns into something volatile, intimate, and dangerous. As ancient magic stirs and war presses in, every ruthless choice Hetta makes pulls her deeper into a destiny she was never meant to escape. She must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice before the last dawn rises— and she loses everything, including herself.
The Last Dawn is the first in an anticipated fantasy trilogy and Samantha is currently deep in revisions on the project.
