What is the name of C.S. Lewis’s final published Narnia book?

The Last Battle is the final published Narnia book by C.S. Lewis.

It was released in 1956 and completes the seven-book Chronicles of Narnia. The novel depicts the last days of Narnia, beginning with the ape Shift’s attempt to use a false image of Aslan to control others.

The title refers to the climactic conflict that brings the fictional world’s history to an end. It also introduces the transition from old Narnia to the country beyond, which Lewis presents as a deeper reality rather than simply another location.

The Last Battle is not the earliest story in the series. The Magician’s Nephew, published in 1955, explains the creation of Narnia and is first in the internal chronology, while The Last Battle remains the concluding volume in both narrative scope and publication sequence.
