Summary

The Greatcoats are back - and this time it's personal.

How do you kill a Saint? Falcio, Brasti and Kest are about to find out, as someone is doing just that, and they've started with a friend.

The Dukes were already looking for ways to weasel out of their promise to put Aline on her father's throne - but with Saints turning up dead and Church Inquisitors pushing for control, rumours are spreading that the gods themselves oppose her ascension.

The only way Falcio can stop the country turning into a vicious theocracy is to find and stop the Saint killer - but his only clue is the iron mask encasing the head of the Saint of Mercy, which prevents her from speaking. And even if he can find the murderer, he will still have to face them in battle - and this may be a duel that no swordsman, no matter how skilled, can win.

A really enjoyable series

Yet another superb book in the greatcoat series full of action with a slight bit of humour. Can't wait to read next instalment. The narrator does a brilliant job of bringing the character to life

Next thrilling instalment

I’m loving there books. I really enjoyed the last two and this one is not a let down either. Thankfully, I came to these late and didn’t have to wait for the next one to become available so was able to move straight to the next book.

Just amazing

Simple as a review can be. It’s all it needs. This is an amazing follow on from book 2. An emotional rollercoaster, I couldn’t stop listening.

Best of series so far as author intended.

In books as with films I often find sequels just don’t have the same magic as the first. The first time you get to know those characters and the world you grow to love.

But here Sebastian bring them all to new levels. Creating the best in the series to date. His comments of aiming for that, I can assure you are well met.

Another thrilling story in an epic series…

Compelling, exciting and heartbreaking. Loved the characters, humour, mythology and culture. Joe Jameson’s narration is consistently superb and evocative.

The most epic of adventure stories

Not only does the narrator's talent keep reaching new heights with each new book but Sebestian just keeps finding new ways to shake the world of Trystia and reforge it's heroes, new and old.
Absolutely loved it from start to finish! And his acknowledgements always make me feel humbled to have been allowed to participate in his genius imagination.

Swashbuckling Excellent Fantasy

Damn, you know when you come across one of those series that just hits you right in the feels and just blows you away, well this is just that. Every book just gets better and better, the story, plot and my three favourite amigos Falcio, Kest and Brasti are excellent characters. Sebastian De Castell has you laughing and crying the way he puts his characters through the ringer. Absolutely fantastic world of good vs evil. In this brilliant third installment Saints Blood as we follow once more Falcio, Brasti and Kest who are caught up in major events as they support Aline against first the dukes and now the church and gods want in on the action.
Someone is killing saints horribly and ritually. When the Saint of Mercy succumbs to her injuries, Falcio and the Greatcoats must find out who or what is behind it. But now they face alot of enemies as the clergy have decided to step in and take control of the kingdom, with their stony faced inquisitors and religious disaffected knights and if things couldn't get any worse there are the unstoppable Needles, crazed zealots who have super strength and an insatiable desire for saints blood. If you love fast paced, action packed and good humorous scenes in your fantasy, checkout the Greatcoats, you won't be disappointed. Joe Jamesons narration continues to be brilliant, very highly recommended...😁💥🔥💙

Good listen

Excellent blend of cultures, myth and fencing though I'm curious what lies beyond this land?
