Produktbeschreibung
The epic follow-up to the Sunday Times bestselling Sword Catcher by Cassandra Clare, praised by George R. R. Martin as 'everything I look for in fantasy.' In The Ragpicker King, Lin and Kel must chart a perilous course between love and lies.

His life is an illusion. Her lie is a gamble. Can two outliers save a kingdom?

The royal court is in turmoil, following a massacre. So Kel, Prince Conor's body-double, is hunting for traitors. The notorious Ragpicker King, ruler of Castellane's criminal underworld, holds the only clues. But they lead to a dark conspiracy to destroy the royal family - headed by the man set to marry the women Kel loves.

Lin will be judged, after claiming to be the legendary Goddess Reborn. And her people's charismatic leader is ready to test her powers. Failure will mean exile, and only further dangerous deception can save her now.

As the simmering tensions in Castellane reach fever pitch, Prince Conor demands that Lin heal his father's madness. However, the King is tormented by an ancient magic, and Lin cannot deny its allure - any more than she can deny her growing passion for the prince. Lin and Kel must decide who they can trust. Yet any false move will mean death - or worse.

Lose yourself in a vibrant world of power, intrigue and magic in this spellbinding epic from an internationally bestselling sensation.

Rezensionen
Sword Catcher gave me everything I look for in medieval fantasy: mystery and magic (not too much, not too little), expert worldbuilding, swordplay and politics, a colourful cast of interesting characters and a story that kept me reading from the first page to the last, with enough twists and turns to keep me turning the pages. It's a big thick book, but it left me wanting more. When's the next one coming out? No. 1 New York Times bestselling author George R. R. Martin
