With The End of the Line, Carlton delivers a gripping conclusion that ties together generations of sacrifice and hope. The finale cements the series as a story not only of cosmic battles but of human resilience in the face of impossible odds.
Kirkus Reviews hailed the book as “…a wild ride…”. “The reader ricochets between an elsewhere where a dragon the size of Africa can forge planets and stars, and a relatively mundane Earth replete with bullies, police detectives, same-sex boyfriends, and plenty of swearing…”
J.A. Carlton is the author of multiple novels and screenplays, including the full Heroes of the Line saga. Her work shines a light on the resilience of children and survivors of trauma, offering both thrilling storytelling and a message of empowerment.
