The Last Metalist
About this ebook
Edwin, a Metalist with the rare ability to manipulate metal with his mind, has spent his life mining in darkness. Born a twin, bound by blood and power to his brother Edge, he dreams of a life beyond the oppressive caves where their kind are kept captive by telepathic masters.
When the brothers finally break free, they discover a world more vast and dangerous than they ever imagined—one where Telepaths, Shapeshifters, and Elemental wielders battle for dominance across a fractured empire. As they navigate this treacherous new reality, the brothers must confront the terrible price of liberty and the brutal truth of their own nature.
Spanning generations, "The Last Metalist " weaves a tale of survival, sacrifice, and the search for belonging. As Edwin builds a new life in the mountains, he carries forward the dark traditions of his people—until a woman with starlight in her soul challenges everything he believes about power and purpose.
Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson's unique magic systems and N.K. Jemisin's complex world-building, this gritty fantasy explores what happens when the chains of the past refuse to break—and what one family will sacrifice to forge their own destiny.

About the author
KD Lumsden was raised on a small farm where her youth was spent running away from angry bulls, riding horses, fishing, camping, and daydreaming about fantastic worlds. Born dyslexic, she has learned to use her neurodivergent mind for the good of mankind—creatures on other planets are another story. Though she’s not a fast reader or writer, her mind flies with many stories, eagerly waiting to be told. Better with numbers and art, KD became an architectural designer long before it was cool to work from home, and has always enjoyed drawing, creating maps, laying out and designing buildings, and of course other worldly planets with amazing settings and diverse people. She lives on a farm outside Eugene, Oregon, with her supportive husband, imaginative son, and their many two and four-legged animals.
