A spirited swashbuckling fantasy about family, revenge and the price of justice * Silvia Moreno-Garcia, author of Mexican Gothic * Sebastien de Castell has authored a great many fantastic books, but this, I think, is his very best. Our Lady of Blades is masterfully-crafted and relentlessly clever, balancing wry humour and heart-wrenching poignancy on a blade's edge. I loved it, and lost count of the lines I wish I'd written myself. * Nicholas Eames, author of KINGS OF THE WYLD * Unpredictable, riveting, and spellbinding in equal measure; the undisputed master of swashbuckling fantasy strikes his mark again! * Andy Peloquin, author of DARKBLADE * Sebastien weaves each chapter of the dual timelines like an expert fencer and has balanced the theatrical with raw emotion that bleeds through every page. I adored this book * Michael R. Miller, bestselling author of SONGS OF CHAOS * An impressively original and deftly crafted saga of a novel, Our Lady of Blades (the second title in 'The Court of Shadows' series) continues to demonstrate author Sebastien de Castell's extraordinary mastery of the Epic Heroic Fantasy genre, with a genuine flair for character and narrative driven storytelling style. Readers will be plunged into an historical fantasy world and a compelling, 'point of a sword' vengeance quest replete with unexpected plot twists and turns up until the memorable finale * Midwest Book Review *
