Mogsy’s Pick:
Knight’s Shadow by Sebastien de Castell: March 5, 2015 (Jo Fletcher)
Up there on the list of my most anticipated books of 2015 is Knight’s Shadow, sequel to Traitor’s Blade. I had so much fun with the first book, I can’t wait to continue with the story of Falcio Val Mond and his Greatcoat buddies Kest and Brasti.
“Tristia is a nation overcome by intrigue and corruption. The idealistic young King Paelis is dead and the Greatcoats – legendary travelling magistrates who brought justice to the Kingdom – have been branded as traitors. But just before his head was impaled on a spike, the King swore each of his hundred and forty-four Greatcoats to a different mission.
Falcio Val Mond, First Cantor, with the help of fellow Greatcoats Kest and Brasti, has completed his King’s final task: he has found his Charoites – well, one at least, and she was not quite what they expected. Now they must protect the girl from the many who would see her dead, and place her on the throne of a lawless kingdom. That would be simple enough, if it weren’t for the Daishini, an equally legendary band of assassins, getting in their way, not to forget the Dukes who are determined to hold on to their fractured Kingdoms, or the fact that the heir to the throne is only thirteen years old. Oh, and the poison that is slowly killing Falcio.
That’s not even mentioning the Greatcoat’s Lament…”

Cool! Has this been moved up to a March release? I thought it was June, which was why I’ve held off WOWing it a bit, but sooner is always better. 🙂

I agree, I’m so glad the first book has a sequel, but I’m following way too many series lately, and there just aren’t enough stand alones these days.

I’d only seen the cover for this one in another language so the title and English cover is new to me! I can’t wait for this one either, the first one was super addictive and exciting 😀 Can’t wait to see what the Greatcoats will be up to this time! Awesome pick^^

I still haven’t read the first – I was going to try and join the FF readalong and still haven’t got to it. TBH my reading has been bad this month as I’m too busy with other things and all the time just slips away.
Love these covers.
Lynn 😀
