In the beginning, there was the Namsara: the child of sky and spirit, who carried love and laughter wherever he went. But where there is light, there must be darkness—and so there was also the Iskari. The child of blood and moonlight. The destroyer. The death-bringer.
"The Last Namsara" by Kristen Ciccarelli is a young adult fantasy novel and the first book in the Iskari series. The story is set in a richly imagined world where dragons and humans coexist. The protagonist, Asha, is a fierce dragon hunter known as the Iskari, who is both feared and revered by her people. She carries the burden of a dark past and a dangerous power linked to the ancient stories she tells.

As she embarks on this quest, she uncovers hidden truths about her kingdom, her family, and herself. The novel explores themes of identity, redemption, and the power of storytelling, blending adventure, romance, and mythology into a compelling narrative. It's a captivating read for fans of high fantasy and strong heroines.
