In a debut novel offering a saga of justice, revenge, ambition, and power, Zhan embarks on a quest to find her grandfather, a man accused of killing her own family, as well as every other man, woman, and child in their village, only to discover that things may not be what they seem as she uncovers an unexpected web of deceit, treachery, and evil.

J.M. McDermott's debut Last Dragon is one of the books published under the new Wizards of the Coast Discoveries imprint. Discoveries includes novels by new authors in all types of speculative fiction instead of just epic fantasy with settings outside of the Forgotten Realms universe. The goal is to publish more mature fiction that appeals to adult readers instead of the simplistic but fun stories that often end up getting adolescents hooked on reading fantasy. Far more original and artistic than the typical Wizards of the Coast book, Last Dragon succeeds at meeting this standard, though it is not flawless.
