Into the Untamed Lands
The wanderer has faced the monster that wore the face of Soldier — and won. But victory came at a terrible price: forty-seven villagers of Alhs are dead, and the ancient barrier that kept the wilderness at bay has failed. With their home no longer safe, the survivors have no choice but to follow the wanderer into the one place everyone fears: the Untamed Lands.
Out there, monsters roam and nightmare-creatures lurk in the shadows — and worse, more of the things that killed Soldier now know exactly where the wanderer is. They are coming. For over a century he has survived by running, always staying one step ahead. But that time is ending.
The third book in Jacob Peppers's epic fantasy series The Last Eternal, Into the Untamed Lands drives its immortal, world-weary hero and his desperate band deeper into danger — a dark, propulsive tale of survival, guilt, and the monsters we carry with us.
An immortal, world-weary warrior who has survived for over a century by staying ahead of what hunts him.
The narrative follows a continuous journey for the protagonist and the villagers of Alhs, making it necessary to read the preceding installments to grasp the established character dynamics and the history of the threats they face.
While the author has written multiple fantasy series, such as The Seven Virtues, this title is specifically part of The Last Eternal, which functions as its own distinct sequence of novels.
