Saint's Blood by Sebastien de Castell digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

'High energy, highly unique, swashbuckling-cop-epic-noir story. Buy it. BUY IT NOW' Sam Sykes

The Greatcoats are back - and this time it's personal.


How do you kill a Saint? Falcio, Brasti and Kest are about to find out, as someone is doing just that, and they've started with a friend.

The Dukes were already looking for ways to weasel out of their promise to put Aline on her father's throne - but with Saints turning up dead, and Church Inquistitors pushing for control - rumours are spreading that the Gods themselves oppose her ascension.

The only way Falcio can stop the country turning into a vicious theocracy is to find and stop the Saint-killer - but his only clue is the iron mask encasing the head of the Saint of Mercy, which prevents her from speaking. And even if he can find the murderer, he will still have to face them in battle - and this may be a duel that no swordsman, no matter how skilled, can win.

'This series deserves as much praise as The Kingkiller Chronicle, ASOIAF, Mistborn, and every other popular high fantasy book out there' Goodreads review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'As close to perfect as a fantasy book gets' Goodreads review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Saint's Blood Reviews

4.0
“This is going to be a short review. This was my favourite book of the series so far! The good stayed good, and the bad got better. As I said in the review for book 2, the SA backstory finally got addressed in a better way than before — and that was a real relief. There’s no Trin in this one (again, a relief - she's too wack to take seriously imo), and honestly? It made a huge difference. The Tailor is still around, and I’m still sad about disliking her character nowadays — but I’ll get over it. I do really miss Ugh and Monster still.. they were lovely. The romance side of things finally seems to be fizzling out a bit, which is a relief too. I just hope this means it’s no longer endgame. I’m hesitant to start book 4 since Trin is back in full force and her whole thing with Falcio still feels absurd to me, so I’m not rushing into it. But I’ll definitely read it at some point — this series still has too many awesome and kickass things to sleep on. This one? Four stars!”

About 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.
