Susan Pevensie's age at death is not specified within C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia, as her death is not depicted in the series.

Susan Pevensie's Fate in The Chronicles of Narnia

In the imaginative world of Narnia, Susan Pevensie's journey takes a unique turn compared to her siblings. While the series chronicles many adventures, her ultimate demise and age at the time of death are not part of the narrative.

Here's what is known about Susan's last appearance and status:

  • Last Known Age: By the time of The Last Battle, the final novel in The Chronicles of Narnia, Susan Pevensie is 21 years old. This period in the story is set in the year 1949.
  • Absence of Her Death in the Series: A key aspect of Susan's story is that she is the only Pevensie sibling who does not return to Narnia or enter Aslan's Country (the Narnian equivalent of Heaven) at the conclusion of the series. Unlike Peter, Edmund, and Lucy, who are involved in a fatal train crash in the real world that transports them permanently to Aslan's Country, Susan is depicted as having grown up, lost her childhood belief in Narnia, and is therefore not among those who perish in the accident.
  • Unspecified Future: Because her death is not described or given an age within the canon of The Chronicles of Narnia, any specific age for her death would be speculative and not based on the published works by C.S. Lewis. Her fate beyond the events of The Last Battle is left open-ended.

Ultimately, while her last known age in the books is 21, her death is not a documented event in the Narnia series.
