I enjoyed the Green Ember books a great deal.
These are wonderful stories for both kids and adults that feature characters with real flaws that work hard over the course of the stories to overcome their own shortcomings and do the right thing.
This book is set during the Green Ember series books time line.
There might be some spoilers if you have read the Green Ember, main series already, but this takes place on the Misty Mountain while action is occurring at other places in the seminal series.
The main character in this book is Jo Shanks who is a bunny from the wrong side of the burrow. His father died with huge debts and Jo voluntarily took those debts on. One of the things that his dad loved was serving in the bunny, Green Ember military until an injury discharged him. Jo has taken up the mantle to redeem his now deceased father's good name.
Jo suffers from some self doubt issues, and several times early in the story he hesitates to take action causing grief for him and those around him (including a combat case).
You meet the heroes from the Green Ember series, but they play supporting roles in this book.
The title comes from the times in the book when Jo is the last archer and the last chance.
Without giving anything away, Jo in fact overcomes his hesitancy, and saves the day.
I loved this uplifting, well written book.
I highly recommend it.
