The Last Light

The Last Light follows several storylines at once, and the world is shifting in all of them. The King of Destruction is on the move, emperors are building new lands, and a doctor from another world is finding more people from home.

At The Wandering Inn, Lyonette is a princess who fixes problems instead of causing them. Now the innkeeper has come back to run the place, and Lyonette has to learn to work as an employee instead of handling everything herself. Sharing power turns out to be hard.

In Baleros, Geneva Scala is a battlefield doctor whose name is spreading as the Last Light of Baleros. The fighting around her grows bloodier and more brutal, and she sees no future in it. She is desperate, still carries the wounds of her earlier war to save lives, and works against hostile forces who regard her interference as dangerous. This time she has company.

This is a fantasy novel with an ensemble cast and shifting viewpoints. It moves between the quieter workplace tension of the inn and the harsher ground of the war, so the mood alternates between domestic and grim.
