'A spirited swashbuckling fantasy about family, revenge and the price of justice' - Silvia Moreno-Garcia, author of Mexican Gothic Two sisters: divided by tragedy, united by steel. The incredible new novel in the Court of Shadows series by the bestselling author of TRAITOR'S BLADE and THE MALEVOLENT SEVEN!

Blood Week may have been banned in Rijou, but the streets still run red - and now murder is being sanctioned by the courts. Only a reckless fool would believe they can beat the system. But then, the Greatcoats have always been more than a little reckless . . .



Rijou's notorious Court of Blades is as corrupt as it is cutthroat, destroying lives with impunity. Now the city's all-powerful Ascendant Houses have started buying and selling verdicts to enslave and even execute those who oppose them.



Into this depraved world of licensed death comes a mysterious duellist who dares to foil the intrigues of the city's elite. They call her Lady Consequence, but years ago she had a different name, until her family was slaughtered and she was consigned to the hellish prison known as the House of Tears.



Lady Consequence means to rescue her idealistic younger brother, restore their House and wreak vengeance upon those who betrayed them. But a far more dangerous game is unfolding in the shadows, one which threatens the freedom of the entire nation.

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 *

Sebastien de Castell had just finished a degree in Archaeology when he started work on his first dig. Four hours later he realised how much he actually hated archaeology and left to pursue a very focused career as a musician, ombudsman, interaction designer, fight choreographer, teacher, project manager, actor and product strategist. His only defence against the charge of unbridled dilettantism is that he genuinely likes doing these things and that, in one way or another, each of these fields plays a role in his writing. He sternly resists the accusation of being a Renaissance Man in the hopes that more people will label him that way.

Sebastien's acclaimed swashbuckling fantasy series The Greatcoats was shortlisted for the Goodreads Choice Award for Best Fantasy, the Gemmell Morningstar Award for Best Debut, the Prix Imaginales for Best Foreign Work and the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. His YA fantasy series Spellslinger was nominated for the Carnegie Medal and is published in more than a dozen languages.

Sebastien lives in Vancouver, Canada with his lovely wife and two belligerent cats.
