The time is a far distant future, one and a half millennia after the collapse of our own civilisation. Nicholas Raspero, the possessor of wandlore secrets, has arrived in New Landern. Through his skills with the wand he is almost immediately drawn into the underworld - and into the web of the beautiful heiress Isabel Grangeshield. 'Nicholas stood under the shelter of a marble war monument, his hand on the hilt of his wand, exulting in the drama of the moment; Angela plied her trade with her current client, half-naked by a roaring fire, while pretending to laugh before the background of the thunder ... and the freshly dug earth of Jolly's grave shone fat and wet and dark with pregnant secrets as the rain splashed over the abyss into which he had fallen. Nothing is ever over, the rain said as it fell, but nothing is ever definite, it also said, more softly.' For lovers of steampunk and fantasy, The Last Suitor will have you cheering for Nicholas Raspero, the wand-fighting hero and wishing that you too, could transport to the world of New Landern, where everyone who has a wand is not afraid to use it in a duel to maintain one's honour.

The story is set in the fantasy world of the future, after the collapse of our civilisation. The calendar is dated A. F. meaning After the Fall. A wandfighter called Nicholas Raspero arrives in New Landern, the capital of Anglashia, and clashes with gangsters on his first day. Before the week is out he has also fallen in love with a beautiful heiress called Isabel Grangeshield. There are flying carriages and duels with wands made of a magnetic material, which makes for a steampunk kind of technology. Brilliantly well written!

The story is set in a future long after the collapse of our civilisation. There is a steampunk technology based on a magnetic material encased in wood in the form of a wand.
Nicholas Raspero is a wandfighter who arrives in New Landern, the capital of Anglashia, and becomes the target of a powerful gangster. In the meantime, Isabel Grangeshield, a beautiful heiress, is looking for an assassin. The book is beautifully well written, the story really moves along from page to page, the characters are well drawn. Highly recommended!
