Do Isaac and Lord Ashcombe know each other? At the end of book one, they show up to the Apothecaries Hall together, and book two mentions them exchanging letters. Is this a passing acquaintance, or have they known each other for quite some time? If so, how do they know each other and will we see more of them in the future?

(view spoiler)[Isaac and Lord Ashcombe meet (off the page) in book 1, while Christopher is being held at the Tower. Tom tells Isaac what's happened, and when Isaac learns of how the Apothecaries' Guild is planning to expel Christopher, he goes to the Tower to introduce himself to Ashcombe in the hopes that the King's Warden will help protect Christopher's future. As both Ashcombe and the king are pretty pleased with what Christopher's done, they gladly move to stop the Guild's plan.
Isaac and Lord Ashcombe are in contact again between books 1 and 2, when Isaac asks Ashcombe for help with acquiring that mysterious book, and they end up travelling back to London together. Then Isaac goes into his plague lockdown and doesn't come out until book 5. So I wouldn't say they know each other well enough at this point to be considered friends, but they're certainly friendly acquaintances.
And both of them will appear in book 6. As to whether anything happens to them in that book, you'll have to wait and see... (hide spoiler)]

Hi Mr. Sands, I'm a huge fan of your series and can't wait until 2021 for book 5! I remember a couple years ago you visited my school, and signed my blackthorn key books. I am on book 4, and I was just wondering if I could please have any clues on how to start to solve the acknowledgements code in book 2 and 3 that I have heard about? Thanks for reading my question!

Are you working on a sixth book? Because I just finished Call of the Wraith, waiting for Traitor's Blade, and on the edge of my seat for a finale. Since I've seen your comments below of the 6th book being the final. I'm really excited for the 5th on coming out, and the 6th topping it off to a great ending. Please let me now soon!
