About this listen
The Greatcoats have found the heir to the throne . . . but now they must keep her alive, against all the odds.
Falcio Val Mond has completed the final task given to him by the late King Paelis: he has found the King's Charoites (well, one at least). But his task isn't over, and now he, Kest and Brasti must protect the girl from those her want her dead.
That would be simple enough, if it weren't for the renegade Knights and legendary Dashini assassins, getting in their way, not to mention the Dukes, who are desperate to hold on to their power at any cost, or Trin, the merciless daughter of the ruthless Duke of Rijou and the cruel Duchess of Hervor, who is determined to be Queen of Tristia. Of course, the fact that the heir to the throne is thirteen years old doesn't help, nor the fact that every day brings Falcio closer to dying from the poison running through his veins.
And then there is the Greatcoats Lament . . .

Critic Reviews
An energetic, fun adventure that puts the "musk" back in "musketeer." Guaranteed to increase household swashbuckling by 100%.
Don't hesitate to buy this if you love a great hero and story . . . What a voice! What story-telling brio! If you love Dumas, or Game of Thrones or The False Prince this is the swashbuckling fantasy for you.
One hell of a good book
Fantastic from the first sentence to the last. Combining old-school swashbuckling action with contemporary characters and a good dose of grit, these books are the rarest of things, great rollicking fun combined with an emotional punch . . . Sebastien, write faster!
High energy, highly unique, swashbuckling-cop-epic-noir story. Buy it. BUY IT NOW.
Knight's Shadow is an excellent and engaging story, one of the best books I've read in a long time. 10/10
Excels at telling a fun, exciting adventure. . . Knight's Shadow is a strong tale in its own right
It's easy to love de Castell's work. Two books in and "Greatcoats" still remains approachable and readable fantasy at its finest
Sebastien De Castell manages to wring every heart wrenching moment and ounce of anticipation from every scene, his fight scenes contain dark humour, explosive action and a great awareness of the art of sword fighting, all of which has you hanging on the edge of every page. . . . This really is an exceptional book and series
Everything that de Castell did well in the first book - the action, the adventure, the high drama, the zinging character interaction and dialogue - is taken to a fresh level here . . . Knight's Shadow raises its own bar . . . This story is bigger, darker and full of more violence than its predecessor
Greatcoats is now up there on my list of favorite fantasy series
A breathless rollercoaster of a ride that will engage, fascinate and compel the reader ever onwards, there is a beauty to the tale that gets right to the heart of you . . . this is exactly how it should be done
The fantastic dialogue, the humor, the twists and the exhilarating action all make this a worthy sequel to Traitor's Blade
I would still very much recommend the series to anyone looking for a well-written fantasy series
Action, drama, betrayals, I do look forward to reading more
One of the best book's you'll read this year, coming highly recommended. 9.5/10
The best book I have read this year . . . I think everyone who enjoys a good story of adventure should pick up their copies of Traitor's Blade and Knight's Shadow first chance they get!
This ends on a satisfying conclusion that leaves room for the story to continue
It was what I was hoping for and I was not disappointed!
Its so good that I had already ordered book 3 and 4 as soon as I started it. It has the most awesome characters that i have ever read in fiction. They are charming , deep , complex and memorable. All of them have become like friends to me now.
The plot , world building and the pacing is phenomenal, there is not a single moment when you feel bored. Go ahead and start reading the first book right now. Thank me later. And be prepared for sleepless nights.
Sebastien de Castell!! i am your fan.
Best Fantasy I have read in Years!

But I have one MAJOR complaint with the book: an absolute lack of trigger warnings, and a horrifically detailed triggering scene.
For readers: A massive trigger warning (r*pe, violence) for chapter 39. Feel free to skip it altogether, it doesn't make much difference to the story if you do. I skipped it after the first few minutes.
The narrator does an excellent job, I had to pause the book multiple times to figure out if it was just one person voicing all the different characters. From accents to voices, emotions to paces, the narrator covers them all with brilliant storytelling.
Captivating read. But pl include trigger warnings.
