When a new group of axolotls is born the rebels, undecideds, and immortals settle into a cautious harmony, but a ruthless algae bloom is quick to break this facade of peace. As the warring factions struggle to coexist, Ace embarks on his trial of solitude, and the rest of the crew journey to Recing Canal’s Safety Zone.
The axolotls once again believe they are out of harm’s way, and set up camp to train the baby axolotls, who aren’t so small anymore. But just after a week of training concludes, Bubbles, Zephyr, and Luna are ripped from the lake by human hands. Above the surface they unearth shocking secrets, leaving Bubbles to face a dark reality about the different challenges that harm lake-dwellers but not tank-breds.
This gripping adventure examines the true meaning of family, strength, and the dangers of unchecked power.

Praise for The Last ImmortalsSchool Library Journal
"A captivating series starring today’s trendiest amphibian. Brooks keeps the narrative moving briskly, balancing the harsh realities of nature with humor and camaraderie. The axolotl’s remarkable regenerative abilities add biological intrigue to the tale, while themes of chosen family versus blood ties give emotional weight to Ace’s journey from helpless hatchling to determined hero. Dorman’s illustrations enhance the underwater setting, making lake-bottom life feel vivid and immediate."—Kirkus Reviews
"This gripping, fact-saturated series starter is an easy recommendation for avid Warriors fans. This book teaches young readers about the importance of an ecological balance as well as the power of compassion and believing in one’s ingenuity.”—Booklist
"An adventurous beginning to a series that both feeds the current axolotl craze and touches on important topics, such as friendship, family, allegiances, and betrayals ... includes many delightful illustrations perfect for middle grade animal fantasy readers.”
