Is this the end of Urlas and its Blademaster?
In this story even more than the others, I really do feel for Rukes, our intrepid Blademaster of Urlas. Being in charge of the other Blades is a great responsibility and one Rukes feels deeply, so when he leads them to the North to face a threat there and they all end up dead except for him, the guilt eats him alive. All alone now, he heads back to Urlas only to find it just about deserted and the shield failing. There are less than forty people still there, and those are children, the wounded and the old. There is just so much sadness and guilt in this story. There are also some surprises contained herein as well. I am very sorry to read the ending of the Blademaster series of the Dwemhar Realms.

The Blademaster's Last Stand . . .
Urlas is under assault and Rukes, the Blademaster of Urlas, is returning to ready the survivors for what may still be ahead. All the warriors were dead in the north and he had little hope left. Iouir's necklace still hung around his neck, although the shaman had been dead when they departed Urlas, yet Iouir's voice clearly told him that Urlas was still in need of him, despite fewer than 40 still remained alive. So their guardian, the only survivor, is reluctantly returning alone. Will he be able to somehow save those remaining in Urlas? Or is this the bitter end that they are finally facing?

Rukes has returned to Urlas.
A devastated Urlas with a little over 30 survivors.
An Urlas where it's protective pillars are starting to crumble and allowing death from an alternate reality to threaten a final devastation.
An Urlas that Rukes still needs to protect.
Author JT Williams in the Blademaster: Urlas' Guardian paints a dark picture for what will turn out to be a hopeless last stand.

The final battle for Urlas is upon us and Rukes must make his stand despite the devastation and the loss. He must prepare the survivors and hope against hope that it will be enough. It’s been an incredible journey, a fantasy that has had me in its grips from the very first book and our characters have been through and faced so much. It’s an emotional read, gripping and held me totally in its grasp from start to finish. A truly epic read.

The Blademaster and only a small handful of elves try to save Urlas. Will they even be able to do this. Full of action and intrigue along with danger everywhere. There’s no stopping until the last page Amazing as always.
