Queenslayer

**A failed mage learns that just because he’s not the chosen one it doesn’t mean he can’t be a hero in the fifth book of an adventure fantasy series from Sebastien de Castell.** ** ** Kellen Argos is an outlaw spellslinger with a bad reputation, a long list of enemies, and zero luck. When he accidently smears blood on the Daroman flag, he’s dragged before the queen to be executed for his act of treason. Face-to-face with the young monarch, Kellen is offered a chance to save himself. If he can defeat the queen at a game of cards, he’ll walk free…if not, his life is forfeit. But what begins as a game reveals a conspiracy against the queen’s life. And now, Kellen is not only playing for his own freedom, but also for the future of an empire. **Spellslinger Series** *Spellslinger* *Shadowblack* *Charmcaster* *Soulbinder* *Queenslayer* * * For more from Sebastien de Castell, check out: **The Greatcoats Quartet** *Traitor’s Blade* *Saint’s Blood* *Knight’s Shadow* *Tyrant’s Throne* * ** * span
