SPELLSLINGER 5: QUEENSLAYER

The fifth book in the page-turning SPELLSLINGER fantasy series. Kellen and Reichis have just finished fighting a duel in the desert when Kellen inadvertently smears blood on the Daroman flag - an act of treason for which the Marshals have no choice but to arrest him. Just before he's put before the Queen to be executed Kellen is given a strange piece of advice from one of his fellow prisoners: kill the Queen and he'll be given clemency by those who take power. But when Kellen comes face-to-face with the eleven year-old monarch he realises she's vastly smarter than he expected - and in a great deal more danger. Perfect for fans of The Dark Tower Firefly Guardians of the Galaxy Terry Pratchett Ben Aaronovitch and Jim Butcher.
