Spellslinger

"This book is dangerously addictive. It has it all: compelling world-building, breathtaking plot-twists, a page-turning pace, and characters who soon feel like old friends. I can't wait for the next one!"--Melissa Caruso, author of The Tethered Mage "A bucket-load of tension is offset with humour, power struggles, lots of magic and some great characters. Fantasy junkies will devour with relish."--Guardian (UK) "We can confidently say that de Castell's new series has hit the ground running."--Starburst Magazine "Told with the conviction of Ursula Le Guin and the dash of Alexandre Dumas"--New Statesman (UK) "Written with such obvious joy and brio that it demands to be read."--RJ Barker, author of Age of Assassins "A tremendously fun read full of wit and action."--James Islington, author of The Shadow of What Was Lost "Spellslinger is the start of something truly special. Sebastien de Castell is a master of breakneck pacing, dagger-sharp dialogue, and twists you didn't see coming--and this series has it all."--Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld "Exotic, original and gripping from the get-go, Spellslinger is a must-read"--Jonathan Stroud, author of the Lockwood and Co series "Hugely enjoyable - fast-paced, compassionate, wise and with terrific characters."--Amanda Craig, author of Hearts and Minds "There's room for wit and playfulness amid the high-stakes duels and death matches, and Kellen's career is likely to run and run."--The Observer (UK) "It has cliff hangers, pace, humour, life lessons, and a memorably feisty squirrel cat."--Sunday Times (UK)
