About the Sword Catcher Series

The Sword Catcher series by Cassandra Clare takes the reader on a journey into a new world that is far from the streets of the Shadowhunter universe but is still filled with the same elements of intrigue, danger, and love. The story is set in the sparkling yet risky city of Castellane and is the first in a young adult fantasy series that gives a new experience even to the fans who have been reading Clare’s books for a long time. At the core of the narrative there are two humane characters: Kel, a street orphan who had to accept the work of being the double of a royal prince, and Lin, a healer that was very talented and therefore both her skills restricted and allowed. When events force them to become the criminals’ allies in the darkest parts of the city, they find out that the mysterious Ragpicker King is the one who’s ruling and they are in the middle of a conflict between loyalty, survival, and forbidden knowledge. This series is the perfect combination of court politics, ancient magic, secret identities, and slow-burning tension which makes the story so old and new at the same time. It is indeed that the New York Times listed this book as a bestseller, George R. R. Martin, a famous personality in the fantasy world, highly praised it, and the Sword Catcher is the starting of a new chapter in Cassandra Clare’s literary journey. With complicated characters and a city full of life, it’s no wonder readers are calling it one of the most exciting chunks of fantasy books of the season. This is the series that will cast a spell on you and will continue to amaze you long after the last page if you are a new Clare fan or a devoted one.
