The third installment in the Court of Shadows series introduces an all-new, very mysterious and extremely deadly swordsperson . . . The Three Musketeers meet The Borgias in this spectacular fantasy by the author of THE MALEVOLENT SEVEN!
Blood Week may have been banned in Rijou, but the streets still run red - and now murder is being sanctioned by the courts. Only a reckless fool would believe they can beat the system. But then, the Greatcoats have always been more than a little reckless . . .
Rijou's notorious Court of Blades is as corrupt as it is cutthroat, destroying lives with impunity. Now the city's all-powerful Ascendant Houses have started buying and selling verdicts to enslave and even execute those who oppose them.
Into this depraved world of licensed death comes a mysterious duellist who dares to foil the intrigues of the city's elite. They call her Lady Consequence, but years ago she had a different name, until her family was slaughtered and she was consigned to the hellish prison known as the House of Tears.
Lady Consequence means to rescue her idealistic younger brother, restore their House and wreak vengeance upon those who betrayed them. But a far more dangerous game is unfolding in the shadows, one which threatens the freedom of the entire nation.
Praise for Our Lady of Blades: A Court Of Shadows Novel, Perfect For Fans Of Joe Abercrombie, Scott Lynch and Richard Swan
-
Brilliant and vivid world-building . . . riveting - Chad Stahelski, director of JOHN WICK, on THE MALEVOLENT SEVEN
-
The twists and turns of a story where theater genuinely is magic had me turning pages perhaps a little faster than I should have - but it was such a thrill to encounter sophisticated world-building mingled with nerve-wracking adventure and truly satisfying swordplay. De Castell's women are genuinely witty and intelligent, as well as hot as blazes . . . and I'm a sucker for any story with truth and friendship at its heart. Bravo, maestro! I eagerly await the next one - Ellen Kushner, author of SWORDSPOINT
-
A complex and enthralling 500 pages of fantasy novel . . . expansive and full of verve . . . I can't wait to find out what will happen next - GeekDad
-
Swashbuckling, dark magic, and a mule. I was hooked from page one - Miles Cameron, author of The Red Knight, on CRUCIBLE OF CHAOS
-
The best book I've read in 2024 . . . if you like fantasy novels with a historical feel, an intricate mystery, and strong supernatural elements, you will love this - Joseph Finley, author of ENOCH'S DEVICE on CRUCIBLE OF CHAOS
