Sword Catcher

Cassandra Clare

624 pages

One was raised to rule. One was trained to die. Welcome to the Chronicles of Castellane.

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. Heโ€™s to become Prince Conor Aurelianโ€™s body-double, shielding the Prince from all dangers. As his โ€˜Sword Catcher,โ€™ he and Conor become close as brothers โ€“ yet Kel lives for one purpose: to die for Conor.

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

Together, theyโ€™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?

"Where to start? Cassie Clare gives us her first adult fantasy, and what a glorious one it is. It's epic, it's heart wrenching, the world building is intricate and fascinating - honestly, whether you're a die hard Cassie Clare fan (guilty!), or you're a fantasy reader who's yet to discover her writing, and if you love epic fantasy a la Brandon Sanderson, Robin Hobb, Samantha Shannon or Rebecca Yarros, Read. This. Book. That is all!"
