Long before the events of the series, the Greatcoats (named for their iconic garment, a heavy leather coat that provides protection from the elements, storage for myriad items, and even light armor in battle, aside from serving as a uniform) were a respected order.
The book is written in a style reminiscent of The Three Musketeers, making use of action and adventure elements that take place against a backdrop of political upheaval.
Together, they navigate the political intrigue of the kingdom of Tristia while attempting to fulfill the final orders of King Paelis, deposed and murdered by Tristia's dukes some time before the series begins. The series revolves around three Greatcoats: Falcio val Mond, the nominal leader of the order and the story's narrator Falcio's childhood friend Kest Murrowson, a master swordsman and Brasti Goodbow, an archer of unparalleled skill but with a troubled past. The fourth book, Tyrant's Throne, was released in 2017. The second book, titled Knight's Shadow, was published later in 2014, while the third, titled Saint's Blood, was released in 2016. It is the first book in de Castell's "Greatcoats" series, which follows the adventures and misfortunes of the titular Greatcoats, the remnants of an ancient order of travelling magistrates and duelists. Traitor's Blade is a 2014 swashbuckling novel by Canadian author Sebastien de Castell.
