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.    ONE OF PASTE ’S MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF THE YEAR   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.
