Sebastien de Castell · 7 novels · 1 collection · 2014–2026
The Greatcoats is Sebastien de Castell's swashbuckling fantasy quartet: Traitor's Blade (2014), Knight's Shadow, Saint's Blood and Tyrant's Throne, with Tales of the Greatcoats collecting shorter pieces set in the same world. It follows the remnants of a disbanded order of travelling magistrate-duelists, discredited and hunted, as they try to restore the justice they once served under a dead king. The four novels form one continuous arc.
