The Last Smile in Sunder City by Luke Arnold is set in a grim, dystopian world where magic has disappeared, leaving the city of Sunder City in a state of decay and despair. The protagonist, Fetch Phillips, is a former detective who was once a part of the magical world but now lives as an outcast. He has become disillusioned with life after the fall of magic and is haunted by the loss of his own powers. Fetch is tasked with solving various cases, but his latest job pulls him into a deeper mystery that exposes the darker underbelly of Sunder City. In this urban landscape where danger lurks at every corner, Fetch struggles with his own personal demons, trying to navigate a world without hope, while uncovering the corruption and secrets that continue to fester in the city's heart.

The novel is a fusion of noir detective fiction and urban fantasy, where the once-thriving magical world is now gone, leaving behind a sense of loss and bitterness. As Fetch unravels the mystery before him, he confronts not only the city’s political and criminal forces but also the ghosts of his past, including his responsibility in the fall of magic. The story delves into themes of redemption, the consequences of power, and the human desire for meaning in a world stripped of its wonder. Arnold’s narrative is richly atmospheric, filled with vivid descriptions of the decaying city, the remnants of magic, and the grim reality of a world without its former enchantment. Through Fetch’s journey, the novel explores the tension between hope and despair, and the possibility of finding a way forward despite the pervasive darkness.
