Author: Sebastien de Castell
Publisher: Jo Fletcher Books
ISBN 13: 978-1782066811
Synopsis:
The Greatcoats are back - and this time it's personal.
How do you kill a Saint? Falcio, Brasti and Kest are about to find out, as someone is doing just that, and they've started with a friend.
The Dukes were already looking for ways to weasel out of their promise to put Aline on her father's throne - but with Saints turning up dead, and Church Inquistitors pushing for control - rumours are spreading that the Gods themselves oppose her ascension.
The only way Falcio can stop the country turning into a vicious theocracy is to find and stop the Saint-killer - but his only clue is the iron mask encasing the head of the Saint of Mercy, which prevents her from speaking. And even if he can find the murderer, he will still have to face them in battle - and this may be a duel that no swordsman, no matter how skilled, can win.
Review:
The third book in the Greatcoats quartet really upped the stakes. The political situation gets even more complicated as Saint's are killed and an unknown person is pulling all the strings - strings even Falcio and the greatcoats can't see. There are some really chilling moments in this book but also some really tender ones. I loved the introduction of more greatcoats and getting to see how they all work together. I also love some of the names given to them - but I won't spoil it by saying anymore. I have come to realise over the course of these books that I really won't be able to handle anything happening to Falcio - more than already has I mean. I really hope he gets to rest and relax at the end of this series - as unlikely as it is.

I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars.
