Miles Cameron weaves an epic tale of magic and mercenaries, war and depravity, politics and intrigue in this action-packed debut fantasy The Red Knight.
Twenty eight florins a month is a huge price to pay, for a man to stand between you and the Wild.
Twenty eight florins a month is nowhere near enough when a wyvern's jaws snap shut on your helmet in the hot stink of battle, and the beast starts to rip the head from your shoulders. But if standing and fighting is hard, leading a company of men -- or worse, a company of mercenaries -- against the smart, deadly creatures of the Wild is even harder.
It takes all the advantages of birth, training, and the luck of the devil to do it.
The Red Knight has all three, he has youth on his side, and he's determined to turn a profit. So when he hires his company out to protect an Abbess and her nunnery, it's just another job. The abby is rich, the nuns are pretty and the monster preying on them is nothing he can't deal with.
Only it's not just a job. It's going to be a war. . .
If you're a fan of Mark Lawrence, John Gwynne, or Brian McClellan you won't want to miss out on this intricate, epic debut fantasy.

Superb medieval fantasy
I love historical fiction, I love medieval history, and I love realistic fight scenes. This book delivers all of these and more. My mind was blown when the protagonist is described using guards and blows from actual Italian swordsmanship manuals. The authors degree in Medieval History shines through in a fantasy world clearly rooted in our own, while adding magic and fantastical elements in a wholly believable manner. Action-packed, with rich characters, and good pacing. There’s no fluff or filler in this book. I was halfway through this book when I knew that I was committed to finishing the whole series.
