Cover Of Spellslinger 6: 'Crownbreaker' By Sebastien De Castell Revealed

It's been only a month since I received my copy of Queenslayer, the fifth book in the Spellslinger series by Sebastien de Castell, and we already have great news coming in for the next and final book. The finale is called Crownbreaker and it will be released within the year!

The official cover has just been unveiled and it is highlighted by a golden motif with the usual game card head-to-head look. Would this cover have a metallic shimmer as the following art implies? I am not sure... but what do you think?

Check out the UK edition cover of Crownbreaker by Sebastien de Castell.

Synopsis

The sixth - and final - instalment of the inimitable SPELLSLINGER series.

Kellen and Reichis are settling into their new lives as protectors of the young queen and dealing with the constantly shifting threats to her reign and to her life. For the first time in his life, Kellen feels as if he's becoming the kind of man that his mentor Ferius had wanted him to be. Even Reichis has come to appreciate having a noble purpose - so long as no one minds him committing the occasional act of theft from the royal treasury.

But what seems to be a simple card game between Kellen and an old man is soon revealed to be a deadly game of wits in which a powerful mage has trapped the queen's spellslinger in order to kill him.

Perfect for fans of The Dark Tower, Firefly, Guardians of the Galaxy, Terry Pratchett, Ben Aaronovitch and Jim Butcher.

Crownbreaker by Sebastien de Castell will be released on October 17, 2019.
