About this ebook

With more at stake than ever before, The Red Knight faces an uncertain future and is forced to team up with old enemies to defeat a greater evil in the fourth book in the Traitor Son Cycle.

One enemy has fallen. But a greater one still remains. Now, it's war.

With one army defeated in a victory which will be remembered through the ages, now the Red Knight must fight again.

For every one of his allies, there is a corresponding enemy. Spread across different lands, and on sea, it will all come down to one last gamble. And to whether or not the Red Knight has guessed the foe's true intentions.

With each throw of the dice, everything could be lost.

Ratings and reviews

It's a great series but I think this one was the weakest thus far. Nothing really ever happens and the final battle the book is semi building up to is solved with such ease it may as well have read "and then they won" instead of the full chapter. Why didn't we have chapters involving Gavin and Amicia? They are having a huge fight all by themselves for most of the book and we hear NOTHING about it. Gavin is off fighting Ash while Gabriel fights some nameless, nebulous enemy. It's a filler episode.

Definitely not a place to begin the series, but a rewarding and absorbing continuation for those who have read the first three volumes.

I love this author! his first hand tourney experience bleeds through every suit up and fight!
