Sebastien de Castell Books in Order

Having found the king's young heir, Falcio and his friends must keep her alive while dukes, knights, and assassins close in. Falcio is also dying from poison, turning every duel and decision into a race against time.

Disgraced Greatcoats Falcio, Kest, and Brasti are framed for murder in a kingdom where the law has collapsed. To clear their names and protect what is left of the realm, they must untangle a royal conspiracy with only their swords and stubborn loyalty.

Someone is murdering saints, and the killings threaten to tip Tristia into religious tyranny. Falcio hunts the killer with Brasti and Kest, but the trail leads toward madness, an iron mask, and a duel few could survive.

Now an outlaw, Kellen stumbles into a plot involving blackmail, murder, and a magical plague spreading across the frontier. With Seneira and Reichis at his side, he has to unmask the culprit before shadowblack consumes far more than one town.

Sixteen-year-old Kellen is supposed to become a mage, but his magic is failing when he needs it most. Forced to rely on tricks instead of power, he teams up with the wandering Argosi Ferius and starts imagining a different life.

Aline is close to taking Tristia's throne, but war gathers beyond the border and Trin is still hunting the crown. Falcio and the Greatcoats face their hardest choice yet as law, loyalty, and survival collide.

A strange playing card draws Kellen to a glittering city of inventions, bargains, and hidden danger. To save a friend and survive forces more slippery than open magic, he has to outwit enemies who love control as much as destiny.

Desperate for a cure to the shadowblack, Kellen heads for the legendary Ebony Abbey with Reichis. The search pulls him toward old secrets, new enemies, and hard questions about who he is becoming.

Kellen and Reichis finally have a purpose as protectors of the young queen, but peace never lasts long in this world. The final book turns loyalty, power, and sacrifice into one last dangerous test of the man Kellen wants to be.

Arrested for treason, Kellen is told he can save himself by killing the queen. Instead he discovers an unusually sharp eleven-year-old ruler at the center of a dangerous conspiracy, and staying alive means choosing sides in an empire's game.

Ferius keeps moving through a world full of mages, monsters, and hard lessons. Joined by the sharper-than-she-seems Argosi Rosie, she faces madness, danger, and the kind of choices that shape who she will become.

Damelas Shademantaigne flees a judicial duel and hides with a troupe at the Operato Belleza. When a ghostly voice exposes a buried crime, he has to uncover the truth before the Iron Orchids or the Vixen catch up with him.

Before she became Kellen's mentor, Ferius Parfax was a girl marked by massacre and exile. Hunted by the mages who destroyed her people, she begins the long, painful path toward becoming an Argosi.

While breaking a thief out of prison, Ferius meets Chedran, one of the last Mahdek, and agrees to help his people find safety. At the same time, old loyalties and new feelings force her to decide what she truly owes her own society.

Cade Ombra, a former justiciar turned mercenary wonderist, joins a suicide mission against seven of the deadliest mages alive. To stop the end of the world, he and his awful new allies may have to become the worst people in the room.

Wounded Greatcoat Estevar Borros rides to Isola Sombra, where monks are going mad and rumors of demons are spreading. With only his wits, his blade, and his mule Imperious, he must solve the mystery before chaos escapes the abbey.

The bad people are back, and this time the mortal world sits between celestial and infernal armies. Cade and his unstable band of mages try to stop an apocalyptic war using dark magic, sharp jokes, and an alarming comfort with violence.

In Rijou's corrupt Court of Blades, a mysterious duellist called Lady Consequence strikes back at the city's ruling houses. She wants to save her younger brother and avenge her ruined family, but the conspiracy around her is even bigger.
