Discover the instant Sunday Times bestseller from the author of the Shadowhunter Chronicles! Two outcasts find themselves at the centre of world-altering change in Sword Catcher, the start of a riveting epic fantasy series by Cassandra Clare.

'Everything I look for in fantasy' - George R. R. Martin, New York Times bestselling author of Game of Thrones

One was raised to rule. One was trained to die . . .

In the vibrant city-state of Castellane, a young orphan named Kel is stolen from his old life to enter a new one of luxury and peril. He's to become Prince Conor Aurelian's body-double, shielding the Prince from all dangers. He and Conor become close as brothers. Yet Kel lives for one purpose: to die for Conor.

Lin Caster is an Ashkar physician, part of a community ostracized for its rare magical abilities. But events pull her and Kel together and into the web of the mysterious Ragpicker King who rules Castellane's criminal underworld.

Together, they'll discover an extraordinary conspiracy. But can forbidden love bring down a kingdom? And will their discoveries plunge their nation into war and the world into chaos?

'Her spellbinding cast of outlaws, healers, royals, and rogues will have you questioning your allegiances with every delicious turn of the plot' - Leigh Bardugo, Sunday Times bestselling author of Ninth House
