From Sebastien de Castell, the author of the internationally acclaimed Greatcoats and Spellslinger series
CRUCIBLE OF
CHAOS:
A NOVEL OF THE
COURT OF SHADOWS
A mortally wounded magistrate faces his deadliest trial inside an
ancient abbey where the monks are going mad and the gods themselves may be to
blame!
But Estevar has his own problems: a near-fatal sword wound from his last judicial duel, a sworn knight who claims he has proof the monks are consorting with demons, a diabolical inquisitor with no love for the Greatcoats, and a mysterious young woman claiming to be Estevar’s ally but who may well be his deadliest enemy.
Armed only with his famed
investigative talents, his faltering skill with a blade and Imperious, his
ornery mule, Estevar must root out the source of the madness lurking inside the
once-sacred walls of Isola Sombra before its chaos spreads to the country he’s
sworn to protect.
Investigate alongside Estevar and the most heroic mule ever to appear in print in this thrilling swashbuckling fantasy mystery by Sebastien De Castell, author of the internationally acclaimed Greatcoats and Spellslinger series!
