The Malevolent Seven

Brilliant and vivid worldbuilding . . . riveting CHAD STAHLESKI, director of John WickA masterful blend of Sebastien de Castells unique brand of wry humour, elegant prose, and wonderfully imaginative worldbuilding. I devoured this book and loved every page NICK EAMES, bestselling author of Kings of the WyldeFrom the bestselling author of THE GREATCOATS: seven war mages with dark pasts must come together to fight an unknown enemy but the stakes are higher than anyone can imagine . . . and someones setting the seven up for a fall.Picture a wizard. Go ahead, close your eyes. There he is, see? Skinny old guy with a long straggly beard. The hats a must, too, right? Big, floppy thing. Wouldnt want a simple steel helmet or something that might, you know, protect the part of him most needed for conjuring magical forces from being bashed in with a mace (or pretty much any household object).Yep. Behold the mighty wizard.Now open your eyes and let me show you what a real war mage looks like . . . but be warned: youre probably not going to like it, because were violent, angry, dangerously broken people who sell our skills to the highest bidder and be damned to any moral or ethical considerations.My name is Cade Ombra, and though I currently make my living as a mercenary wonderist, I used to have a far more noblesounding job title until I discovered the people I worked for werent quite as noble as Id believed. Now Im on the run and my only friend, a homicidal thunder mage, has invited me to join him on a suicide mission against the seven deadliest mages on the continent.Time to recruit some very bad people to help us on this job . . .Readers love The Malevolent Seven!
