Description
Knight's Shadow by Sebastien de Castell follows Falcio Val Mond as he completes the final task given to him by the late King Paelis: he has found the King's Charoites, or at least one of them. However, his quest is far from over. Alongside Kest and Brasti, he must protect a girl from those determined to see her dead.
That task would be simple enough if not for the renegade Knights and the legendary Dashini assassins standing in their way. Add to that the power-hungry Dukes, desperate to cling to their authority at any cost, and Trin, the merciless daughter of the ruthless Duke of Rijou and the cruel Duchess of Hervor, who aspires to be Queen of Tristia. Complicating matters further is the fact that the heir to the throne is only thirteen years old, and Falcio himself is battling the poison slowly killing him.
And then there is the Greatcoat's Lament...
"Sebastien, write faster!" John Gwynne, author of the award-winning series The Faithful and the Fallen
"These books are just joyous—first-rate fiction, first-rate adventure, first-rate full stop." Conn Iggulden, author of The Golden Age series
"I honestly have fallen so in love with this series" Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

About the Author
Sebastien de Castell had just finished a degree in Archaeology when he started work on his first dig. Four hours later he realised how much he actually hated archaeology and left to pursue a very focused career as a musician, ombudsman, interaction designer, fight choreographer, teacher, project manager, actor and product strategist. His only defence against the charge of unbridled dilettantism is that he genuinely likes doing these things and that, in one way or another, each of these fields plays a role in his writing. He sternly resists the accusation of being a Renaissance Man in the hopes that more people will label him that way.
Sebastien's acclaimed swashbuckling fantasy series The Greatcoats was shortlisted for the Goodreads Choice Award for Best Fantasy, the Gemmell Morningstar Award for Best Debut, the Prix Imaginales for Best Foreign Work and the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. His YA fantasy series Spellslinger was nominated for the Carnegie Medal and is published in more than a dozen languages.Sebastien lives in Vancouver, Canada with his lovely wife and two belligerent cats.Also by Sebastien de Castell
