About this ebook

The gripping and atmospheric sequel to The Red Knight. Full of breathtaking authentic battle scenes, in a world where anyone might stab you in the back

Loyalty costs money.

Betrayal, on the other hand, is free.

When the Emperor is taken hostage, the Red Knight and his men find their services in high demand - and themselves surrounded by enemies. The country is in revolt, the capital city is besieged and any victory will be hard won. But The Red Knight has a plan.

The question is, can he negotiate the political, magical, real and romantic battlefields at the same time - especially when intends to be victorious on them all?

Ratings and reviews

I'm really enjoying this so far, mostly due to the battles. The only issues I have are minor niggles. There are a lot of minor spelling and grammar errors in the e-book which is an annoyance. On top of that some of the names have changed between books 1 and 2. Ser Gawin is now Gavin and boglins are boggles. It's just me being picky! Still annoying though.

Cracking good read. Well worth taking the time to dig in and enjoy the ride.

A great read , florid in description a ripping yarn just a great read , can't wait for the next book
