10,000 years ago. On a mythical island.

Where powerful magic exists that is destined to be lost to the seas.

Timaeus is a Wind Student, training to be a Wind Elemental. It is through an extraordinary anomaly that it is discovered he can use more than Wind Magic, this marks the beginning of an extraordinary adventure as he learns the extent of his abilities.

The Dark Elementals, malevolent and monstrous warriors, corrupted by Dark Magic, seek to revive a great evil that was sealed away long ago. After centuries of waiting they put their plan into motion, they invade Atlantis causing a war to break out, slaughtering Atlantis' forces to find what they need to revive the great evil.

At the climax of the war, Timaeus has to do everything in his power to protect the world from the great evil his enemies intend to unleash. With no friends or allies by his side to help him stop his enemies and with the island sinking to the bottom of the ocean, before Timaeus confronts the Dark Elementals he uses a form of Magic to determine the outcome. Unbeknownst to him despite what he sees, the battle is far from over. After facing the Dark Elementals in a final battle, Timaeus and his arch-nemesis are trapped inside a Magic Crystal which is found 10,000 years later in the present day.

The Last Elemental is a character-driven epic fantasy action forged in a thrilling, absorbing, and attractive plot that reaches into the fate of a mythical world.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your book and although maybe not my usual genre I was gripped. The detail and details you go into are phenomenal - especially the descriptions at the beginning and the fights/battles. Proofreader

Having read all of the manuscript and taken note of my co-workers opinion, I can confidently state that his work was found to be a most thrilling, absorbing, and attractive book that is very well-written and will certainly captivate a wide audience. I was very pleased with the intriguing plot, which is well-conceived and developed, as we follow the growth of Timaeus. I believe his work is structured well, acutely balancing the overarching narrative with the subplots of the story. In this fashion he provided a wonderful platform at the conclusion of his story for the next instalment, indicating that Timaeus and Darkslash's story is far from resolved. He allowed the story to build progressively and weave together the underlying messages included in his work, such as the importance of protecting others and personal growth. Both of these themes are sure to resonate with many contemporary readers. I was keen to comment on the ambitious scope of his work and the engaging quality of the exposition and prose. When paired with the realism with which he depicts these characters and settings, the reader can easily navigate the plot he has constructed, which is a testament to his abilities as a writer in establishing a scene. I wish to display my compliments in acknowledgment of his prolific ability to depict his characters through distinctive dialogue that allows their thoughts and emotions to evoke a powerful resonance with rich consistency. His work displays convincing execution that is consistent with previously established themes; however, he managed to ensure that his narrative, and the characters in particular are distinctive and compelling.
