Sebastien de Castell had just finished a degree in Archaeology when he started work on his first dig. Four hours later he realised how much he hated archaeology and left to pursue a very focused career as a musician, ombudsman, interaction designer, fight choreographer, teacher, project manager, actor, and product strategist. He lives in Vancouver, Canada, with his wife.

This really is an exceptional book and series - Parmenion Books Action, drama, betrayals, I do look forward to reading more. - Books For Life Everything that de Castell did well in the first book - the action, the adventure, the high drama, the zinging character interaction and dialogue - is taken to a fresh level here . . . Knight's Shadow raises its own bar . . . This story is bigger, darker and full of more violence than its predecessor.' - Over the Effing Rainbow much like the first , it'll probably be one of the best book's you'll read this year, coming highly recommended. 9.5/10 - The Fictional Hangout I had an amazing time with this book. Greatcoats is now up there on my list of favorite fantasy series - Bibliosanctum It was what I was hoping for and I was not disappointed! - Not Yet Read Knight's Shadow truly is a must-read book . . . the kind of historical fantasy that makes everything else pale in comparison. - Beauty in Ruins The fantastic dialogue, the humor, the twists and the exhilarating action all make this a worthy sequel to 'Traitor's Blade'. It has certainly proven that de Castell is not a one hit wonder - Draumr Kopa Blog
