Publisher Description

The second book in the TRAITOR SON CYCLE, a radical reinvention of the Arthurian legend by an expert on medieval history and warfare.

Loyalty can be expensive. Betrayal, on the other hand, is free.

With the Emperor taken hostage, the Red Knight and his band of mercenaries find themselves in high demand - and surrounded by enemies. The land is in revolt, the capital is besieged and victory will be hard won and hard paid for. And The Red Knight has a plan...

But can he negotiate all of his battlefields - political, magical, real and romantic - at the same time? And can he be victorious on them all, or will he find himself stretched too thin?

The second standalone novel in THE TRAITOR SON CYCLE by the acclaimed historical novelist Christian Cameron provides more of his trademark battles, political machinations and convincing characters.

Super Epic

Great series of books, can’t put them down

Excellent Epic Fantasy

The Red Knight has undertaken a new contract - to resuce the Emperor who has been kidnapped. Once again evil forces abound and it will take all his cunning, his magic and, unfortunately, the deaths of some of his friends to win.

This is Book 2 in the Traitor’s Son series and continues the epic storyline from Book 1. There is a wide cast of characters and the story switches between them all the time as it sets up future books in the series.

Like Book 1, there are some minor spelling errors and some strange sentences that were clearly edited incorrectly. More seriously, there is a paragraph that references a conversation that never happened and orders an action that apparently never happens and is completely contradicted in the next chapter.

However, these errors are minor distractions from the epic fantasy this series is turning into and they should not put you off buying this book. Highly recommended.

Very good indeed

This was a top notch read, gripping and fun.

I like the lightheartedness of it all and the descriptive battle scenes.

The saga is progressing nicely, I hope it is all wrapped up nicely in the next book.
