Queenslayer (Spellslinger, #5)

by Sebastien de Castell

The fifth book in the page-turning SPELLSLINGER fantasy series.

Kellen and Reichis have just finished fighting a duel in the desert when Kellen inadvertently smears blood on the Daroman flag - an act of treason for which the Marshals have no choice but to arrest him. Just before he's put before the Queen to be executed, Kellen is given a strange piece of advice from one of his fellow prisoners: kill the Queen and he'll be given clemency by those who take power. But when Kellen comes face-to-face with the eleven year-old monarch, he realises she's vastly smarter than he expected - and in a great deal more danger.

Perfect for fans of The Dark Tower, Firefly, Guardians of the Galaxy, Terry Pratchett, Ben Aaronovitch and Jim Butcher.

[Beth C.]

It's been a bit since I picked up one of the books in this series - I think I've had this one sitting on my shelves since it came out? But this series, in addition to being fun and intriguing, is also like an old friend. It's easy to pick right up where you left off, and spend the afternoon hanging out together with a cup of tea. Sometimes, that's just what the world needs.
