The Exiled Blade

By Jon Courtenay Grimwood (Electronic Book, 2013)

Snow shrouds Venice in cold darkness, ice fills the canals, and a thousand ghosts pluck at the shadow's edge.

A violent attack on Lady Giulietta's son forces Tycho from his new-found happiness and back into the treacherous intrigue of the court. For Giulietta's sake he would go to the world's end to track down those responsible.

As Venice teeters on the brink of civil war, its warring families prepare to discover who is a player and who a pawn in the coming struggle for power.

The Exiled Blade is the climatic finale to Tycho's story.

"A splendid novel that combines the best elements of metaphysical horror and escapist yarn" (SFX on The Outcast Blade).
"Grimwood adroitly combines a satisfying complexity with visceral detail and bouts of astounding violence, knit together by suitably Machiavellian intrigue." (Kirkus Reviews on The Fallen Blade).
"Sharp as a stiletto, dark and dazzling as a masquerade. Grimwood's Venice is totally compelling." (Mike Carey on The Fallen Blade).
"Gritty, grimy, decadent and compelling" (Sunday Times (UK) on The Fallen Blade).
"The climax is quick moving and vivid - this is a real page-turner." (RT Book Reviews (4-1/2 Stars) on The Fallen Blade).
