The Ragpicker King

The Ragpicker King is the sequel to Sword Catcher. In it, Kel — now fully embedded with the Ragpicker King and his crew — tries to solve a mystery: Who’s responsible for the murders in the Shining Gallery? If someone’s plotting against Castellane, who is it? And why is the woman he’s loved since he was a child, Antonetta Alleyne, determined to marry a monster?

Meanwhile, Lin Caster must face a series of tests to prove whether or not she is the Goddess of the Ashkar people, meant to lead them through a coming battle. At the same time she struggles with her feelings for Conor Aurelian, Prince of Castellane, a man she is forbidden to love.
