´High energy, highly unique, swashbuckling-cop-epic-noir story. Buy it. BUY IT NOW´ Sam Sykes

The Greatcoats are back - and this time it´s personal.

How do you kill a Saint? Falcio, Brasti and Kest are about to find out, as someone is doing just that, and they´ve started with a friend.

The Dukes were already looking for ways to weasel out of their promise to put Aline on her father´s throne - but with Saints turning up dead, and Church Inquistitors pushing for control - rumours are spreading that the Gods themselves oppose her ascension.

The only way Falcio can stop the country turning into a vicious theocracy is to find and stop the Saint-killer - but his only clue is the iron mask encasing the head of the Saint of Mercy, which prevents her from speaking. And even if he can find the murderer, he will still have to face them in battle - and this may be a duel that no swordsman, no matter how skilled, can win.

de Castell, Sebastien
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 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. After a year in the Netherlands, he has recently returned to Vancouver, Canada, where he lives with his wife and two belligerent cats. Traitor´s Blade, his award-winning debut novel, the first in his bestselling series The Greatcoats, is followed by Knight´s Shadow, Saint´s Blood and Tyrant´s Throne. He is also writing a YA series, starting with Spellslinger.
