Would you - could you? - uphold the law at the cost of those you love?

'I will cherish this amazing quartet for as long as I live' Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

But for the Greatcoats, nothing is ever that simple. In neighbouring Avares, an enigmatic new warlord is uniting the barbarian armies and even worse, he is rumoured to have a new ally: Falcio's old nemesis Trin. With the armies of Avares at her back, she'll be unstoppable.

'This is the best book of the series' Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Falcio, Kest and Brasti go racing north to stop her, but in those cold, treacherous climes they discover something altogether different - and far more dangerous: a new player plans to take the throne of Tristia, and the Greatcoats, for all their determination and skill, may not be able to stop him.

'Sebastien de Castell is among my favorites authors; his Greatcoats series listed among my most beloved fantasy series ever, resting proudly next to those of Tolkien, Donaldson, and many more' Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
