The Last Metalist

Some secrets are etched in metal. Some legacies are written in blood.

In a world where those with power are enslaved for it, one man's quest for freedom will shake the foundations of everything he's ever known.

Edwin, a Metalist with the rare ability to manipulate metal with his mind, has spent his life mining in darkness. Born a twin, bound by blood and power to his brother Edge, he dreams of a life beyond the oppressive caves where their kind are kept captive by telepathic masters.

When the brothers finally break free, they discover a world more vast and dangerous than they ever imagined—one where Telepaths, Shapeshifters, and Elemental wielders battle for dominance across a fractured empire. As they navigate this treacherous new reality, the brothers must confront the terrible price of liberty and the brutal truth of their own nature.

Spanning generations, "The Last Metalist " weaves a tale of survival, sacrifice, and the search for belonging. As Edwin builds a new life in the mountains, he carries forward the dark traditions of his people—until a woman with starlight in her soul challenges everything he believes about power and purpose.

Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson's unique magic systems and N.K. Jemisin's complex world-building, this gritty fantasy explores what happens when the chains of the past refuse to break—and what one family will sacrifice to forge their own destiny.
