Beskrivelse

In a city teeming with magic and secrets, two unlikely allies are drawn into a dangerous game that could alter the fate of their world. Sword Catcher by Cassandra Clare kicks off an epic fantasy series filled with political intrigue, masterful worldbuilding, and thrilling swordplay.

A gripping tale of loyalty, magic, and forbidden bonds in the vibrant city-state of Castellane.

Kel, an orphan snatched from poverty, has been raised to serve as the body-double and protector of Prince Conor Aurelian. Known as the Prince’s ‘Sword Catcher’, Kel’s life is dedicated to dying in the prince’s stead, forging a brotherly bond between them.

Meanwhile, Lin Caster is an Ashkar physician, part of a marginalized community gifted with rare magical talents. When a botched assassination attempt brings Lin and Kel together, they find themselves entangled in the dangerous underworld ruled by the enigmatic Ragpicker King.

As they uncover long-hidden secrets and their connection deepens into a forbidden romance, the stakes rise. Their discoveries threaten to ignite war and throw entire nations into turmoil.

Praised by George R. R. Martin as “everything I look for in fantasy,” and lauded by authors like Holly Black, Leigh Bardugo, Kelly Link, and Helene Wecker, Sword Catcher offers a richly imagined world filled with decadence, betrayal, heart-stopping twists, and unforgettable characters.
