Wick ' A masterful blend of Sebastien de Castell' s unique brand of wry humour elegant
prose and wonderfully imaginative worldbuilding. I devoured this book and loved every page'
NICK EAMES bestselling author of Kings of the Wylde From the bestselling author of THE
GREATCOATS: seven war mages with dark pasts must come together to fight an unknown enemy - but
the stakes are higher than anyone can imagine . . . and someone' s setting the seven up for
a fall. Picture a wizard. Go ahead close your eyes. There he is see? Skinny old guy with a
long straggly beard. The hat' s a must too right? Big floppy thing. Wouldn' t want a
simple steel helmet or something that might you know protect the part of him most needed for
conjuring magical forces from being bashed in with a mace (or pretty much any household
object). Yep. Behold the mighty wizard. Now open your eyes and let me show you what a real
war mage looks like . . . but be warned: you' re probably not going to like it because
we' re violent angry dangerously broken people who sell our skills to the highest bidder
and be damned to any moral or ethical considerations. My name is Cade Ombra and though I
currently make my living as a mercenary wonderist I used to have a far more noble-sounding job
title - until I discovered the people I worked for weren' t quite as noble as I' d
believed. Now I' m on the run and my only friend a homicidal thunder mage has invited me
to join him on a suicide mission against the seven deadliest mages on the continent. Time to
recruit some very bad people to help us on this job . . . Readers love The Malevolent
Seven! ' I absolutely loved this book. Immediately engaging characters and great world
building - the story runs along at a breakneck pace and is gripping from start to finish'
