Summary
Falcio Val Mond has completed the final task given to him by the late King Paelis: he has found the King’s Charoites (well, one at least). But his task isn’t over, and now he, Kest and Brasti must protect the girl from those who want her dead.
That would be simple enough, if it weren’t for the renegade Knights and legendary Dashini assassins, getting in their way, not to mention the Dukes, who are desperate to hold on to their power at any cost, or Trin, the merciless daughter of the …

Critics Review
One hell of a good book
Sebastien De Castell manages to wring every heart wrenching moment and ounce of anticipation from every scene, his fight scenes contain dark humour, explosive action and a great awareness of the art of sword fighting, all of which has you hanging on the edge of every page… . This really is an exceptional book and series - Parmenion Books
Action, drama, betrayals, I do look forward to reading more. - Books For LifeEverything that de Castell did well in the first book - the action, the adventure, the high drama, the zinging character interaction and dialogue - is taken to a fresh level here … Knight’s Shadow raises its own bar … This story is bigger, darker and full of more violence than its predecessor.’ - Over the Effing Rainbowmuch like the first , it’ll probably be one of the best book’s you’ll read this year, coming highly recommended. 9.5⁄10 - The Fictional HangoutI had an amazing time with this book. Greatcoats is now up there on my list of favorite fantasy series - BibliosanctumIt was what I was hoping for and I was not disappointed! - Not Yet ReadKnight’s Shadow truly is a must-read book … the kind of historical fantasy that makes everything else pale in comparison. - Beauty in RuinsThe fantastic dialogue, the humor, the twists and the exhilarating action all make this a worthy sequel to ‘Traitor’s Blade’. It has certainly proven that de Castell is not a one hit wonder - Draumr Kopa BlogAbout The Author
Sebastien de Castell
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.
