The Chronicles of Castellane

Sword Catcher (The Chronicles of Castellane #1) by Cassandra Clare

The Chronicles of Castellane weaves an intricate web of magic, politics, and identity, set against the backdrop of the enigmatic city of Castellane. In a world where the line between destiny and choice is blurred, two unlikely heroes are forced to confront the ghosts of their pasts—and the dark forces threatening the future.

At the heart of the story is Kel Saren, a young man born into servitude as the body double of a disillusioned prince. With every moment of his life dictated by shadows and secrets, Kel has learned to survive by remaining unseen. But when a conspiracy emerges to bring down the kingdom, he must step into the light, unsure whether he's meant to play the role of the savior or the pawn.

Alongside him is Lin Caster, a woman whose power and purpose have been shaped by a prophecy that no one quite understands—least of all herself. Believing herself to be the Goddess Reborn, Lin is caught between the world’s desperate hope and the terrifying truth of her own potential. Her journey will take her deep into the heart of Castellane’s magical mysteries, forcing her to question everything she’s ever known about the world—and herself.
