Sword Catcher – Cassandra Clare

One is sworn to die for a prince. The other will risk everything to save a friend.

In the wealthy city-state of Castellane, Kel serves as the Sword Catcher, a body double trained to protect Prince Conor at the cost of his own life. Lin, an Ashkar physician barred from opportunities afforded to others, searches for forbidden knowledge that might save her closest friend.

When their paths draw them into the orbit of the mysterious Ragpicker King, the city’s glittering courts and criminal underworld become tangled in a web of secrets, dangerous bargains and shifting loyalties.

The opening novel in Cassandra Clare’s adult fantasy series, Sword Catcher is perfect for readers who love court intrigue, hidden identities, forbidden magic and morally complicated characters. A tempting next read for fans of the political scheming in Holly Black’s fantasy and the criminal underworld of Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows.
