The Last Wayfinder

Hearts of Ezo Series

Studio Ghibli meets Frozen in a sweeping fantasy about sibling bonds, shapeshifting monsters, no-spice romance, and hope stronger than ice.

Born into prison, Kira has only known the arctic wasteland where the worst criminals are sent to be forgotten—including her mother. When an Inspector condemns her family to death, she unleashes forbidden magic, which comes at a devastating cost: her sister is cursed, transformed into a monster.

Desperate for a cure, she strikes a deal with Captain Ren, a notorious monster hunter whose icy exterior matches the unforgiving landscape. As their uneasy alliance deepens and the empire closes in, Kira discovers the ancient wayfinding magic in her blood could change everything—if it doesn't cost her the last person she loves.

A fast-paced YA fantasy audiobook in a series of standalone, interconnected stories, along with the award-winning Saints & Monsters.
