Our view
“Last of the Wilds” is the expansive middle volume of Trudi Canavan’s “Age of the Five”, set in a large and carefully built world. Auraya, haunted by nightmares after her first war, has lost the one person she trusts to help, while the Dreamweaver Leiard escapes to the mountains alongside Emerahl. Some readers find it hard to follow without the first book. At over six hundred pages, it is for readers committed to the trilogy.

About the book
Although the architect of the White's victory, Auraya's first taste of war has left her sleep filled with nightmares. She walks in fields of blood and gore while the dead rise in accusation. You killed us. You. It seems Auraya will know no peace while these nightmares haunt her, but the only one she trusts to help has vanished. The Dreamweaver, Leiard, still struggling to come to terms with the ever more powerful memories of the long-dead Mirar, flees into the mountains with Emerahl, perhaps the last of the Wilds. Although not a Dreamweaver herself, Emerahl is powerfully gifted, and helps Leiard to make sense of his strange jumble of memories. What they discover will change his life forever. And far to the south, the Pentadrians lick their wounds and set about finding a new leader. Peace, it seems, must wait a while yet ...
