Title: Sword Catcher

Author: Cassandra Clare

Genre: Fantasy

             (October 10th 2023)

From the richest of nobles to the most depraved criminals, everyone in the city-state of Castellane is driven by three things – wealth, power and thrills. Here, physician Lin Caster tends to the sick and dying but knows she cannot heal her best friend without forbidden knowledge. Kel, the body-double of a royal heir, knows he is destined to die in place of the prince. When a failed assassination attempt puts Lin and Kelin in the path of the criminal ruler of Castellane’s underworld, they are presented with the chance of finally getting what they want most. However, with a conspiracy of corruption brewing, Lin and Kelin must ask themselves if all they could gain is worth the price of betrayal?
