When a royal child vanishes and war looms, outcast soldier Holt Hawley is given an impossible task: find a Vigilant, one of the long-lost guardians whose ancient magic once protected the realm. Everyone believes the Vigilants are myths. Everyone but Holt.
Deep in a cursed forest, he meets Enelda Drake—a weary, half-forgotten sorcerer who claims to be the last of her kind. Together, they must face a kingdom rotting from within and an ancient evil stirring beyond its borders.
As alliances crumble and monsters rise, Holt and Enelda become the realm’s final defense against the darkness. The Last Vigilant by Mark A. Latham is a gripping tale of fading magic, reluctant heroes, and legends reborn in blood and fire.
