SWORDS, SORCERY, AND A SPOT OF TEA
Kill All Wizards is a blood-soaked romp through high society—picture Conan the Barbarian caught up in a comedy of manners, and you're almost prepared for this unmissable new series.
We could think of nothing but the barbarian. He had come here, surely, to murder or marry someone, to exact revenge, or to say or do something very scandalous. We could hardly wait to see which it was. We hoped it would be all of them.
The barbarian traveled far to consult the wizards of the empire. Instead of lending their aid, they ensorcelled him, exploited his strength, and stole his sword. They should not have done that.
Now the barbarian plans to kill every wizard who wronged him, even if that means blending in with their vile society: dressing in finery, taking tea in exclusive clubs, and reserving the best box at the theater.
Oh, he hates it all with the fiery passion of his savage heart—but not as much as he hates these wizards.

Commentaires
“Kill All Wizards made me remember how much I love sword and sorcery. How good is this book? So good it made me want to create a new genre label: Jedediah Berry puts the fun into ‘funtasy.’” —Kelly Link, Pulitzer finalist
“Conan the Barbarian meets Austen. Gormenghast meets The Hobbit. A mystery, a novel of manners, and a fantasy have the most delightful pile-up. Such fun.” —Sarah Rees Brennan, New York Times bestselling author of Long Live Evil
“A rapid-fire deluge of cleverness crafted with uncommon intensity and care. It's difficult to articulate just how much this book rips.” —Scott Lynch, New York Times bestselling author of The Lies of Locke Lamora
“Hands-down the best thing I've read in years. Its flawless mingling of wit, wisdom, and wry humor reminds me of Sir Terry Pratchett.” —Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld
“A sorcerously entertaining blend of strange lands, swinging swords, and oh yes—quite a lot of dead wizards. I want more!” —Paolo Bacigalupi, Hugo Award-winning author of The Windup Girl
“Fast, fun, and as hard to put down as a box of magic candy. I read the whole thing in one sitting and I never do that.” —Christopher Buehlman, USA Today bestselling author of The Blacktongue Thief
“A fabulous mash-up of Conan and high society, the barbarian hero suited up and unleashed on the theater and the gentlemen's club. Full of wonderful characters in a wildly inventive world.” —Django Wexler, author of How to Become a Dark Lord and Die Trying
“Seemingly cozy elements are juxtaposed with macabre dark sorcery, wry, knowing humor with desperate striving against cruel antagonists.” —John C. Hocking, author of Conan: City of the Dead
“A must read for those who like to see scores settled, justice done, and violence committed with glorious artistry.” —Seanan McGuire, Hugo Award-Winning author of Middlegame
“Weird, wonderful, twisted, this wildly inventive work is reminiscent of the Old Masters of Sword-and-Sorcery such as Fritz Leiber and Jack Vance but with an update for twenty-first century sensibilities.” —Elizabeth Bear, author of The Folded Sky
“Delightfully weird, with some of the best prose and strangest magic I've encountered in years.” —Daniel M. Ford, author of The Warden
