CLARE CASSANDRA THE RAGPICKER KING

In the epic follow-up to the New York Times bestseller Sword Catcher   praised by George R. R.
Martin as “everything I look for in fantasy ” Lin and Kel must chart a perilous course between
love and lies.    Kel Saren  body double to Conor  crown prince of the dazzling city of
Castellane  is caught between two worlds. In order to protect his beloved prince  Kel must find
the culprits responsible for a massacre at the royal palace—and the only clues are held by the
Ragpicker King  the notorious criminal who rules Castellane’s underworld. The trail Kel follows
leads back to the Hill  where among decadent nobles and glittering parties a dark conspiracy to
destroy the royal family has taken hold—a conspiracy headed up by the monstrous Artal Gremont 
the man engaged to marry the woman Kel adores.   Meanwhile  Lin Caster must face the aftermath
of the greatest risk she’s ever taken. To save the life of a dying friend  Lin has falsely
claimed to be the Goddess Reborn  the legendary heroine destined to save her people. Now the
terrifying—but strangely magnetic—leader of her people has arrived to test her powers. The
price of failure is exile  and only through her alliance with the Ragpicker King can she
continue to access the magic that may save her.   Then Prince Conor reappears in her life 
demanding that she use her healing powers to cure the madness of his father  the King. Lin soon
realizes the King is gripped by an ancient and terrible magic  one whose lure she cannot deny
any more than she can deny her growing passion for Conor.   As the simmering tensions in
Castellane reach a fever pitch  Lin and Kel must decide who to trust when any false move means
death—or worse.
