SHERMAN, Conn. - s4story -- Emerald Lake Books proudly announces the release of The Final Drive, the highly anticipated fourth and final installment in The Black Phantom Chronicles by award-winning fantasy author Esther Wallace.

Lauded for its emotionally rich storytelling and relatable characters, The Final Drive delivers a satisfying and heartfelt conclusion to a series that began with a dream. Readers have followed the journey of Arnacin—a once-reluctant hero turned seasoned leader—from the windswept shores of Enchantress Island to the battle-scarred lands of Elcan. In this final volume, Arnacin and Prince Evan must confront the ghosts of their pasts and rise to fulfill their destinies.

"This series has always been about more than adventures and magic," said Tara R. Alemany, publisher at Emerald Lake Books. "Esther Wallace writes with heart. Her characters deal with trauma, loyalty and the quiet strength it takes to fight for what truly matters. It's rare to find fantasy with this kind of depth."
