The Red Knight will fight his greatest foe yet, a warlike knight who plans to claim the throne of Alba for himself in the third book of The Traitor Son Cycle.

Some are born to power. Some seize it. And some have the wisdom never to wield it.

The Red Knight has stood against soldiers, armies and the might of an empire without flinching. He's fought on real and magical battlefields alike, and now he's facing one of the greatest challenges yet. A tournament.

A joyous spring event, the flower of the nobility will ride against each other for royal favor and acclaim. It's a political contest -- one which the Red Knight has the skill to win. But the stakes may be higher than he thinks. The court of Alba has been infiltrated by a dangerous faction of warlike knights, led by the greatest knight in the world: Jean de Vrailly -- and the prize he's fighting for isn't royal favor, but the throne of Alba itself. . .

Should Be A Motion Picture

First off, I have to share my thoughts about the narrator - he’s very good. His only fault is to have the misfortune of taking over from a narrator who was truly sublime. Yes, I was disappointed for the first 30 minutes or so, but I quickly came to appreciate Neil Dickson’s skills. His Bad Tom is particularly good, IMHO.

Anyway, the Red Knight series is complex, with nearly as many places and characters and heads of state as Game of Thrones, so I recommend trying your hardest to learn the names way back in book 1, as that knowledge will pay off throughout. Also, look at an online map of the world so that you can imagine the locations and keep them straight-ish.

Wonderful story, book 3! I think it’s my favorite so far. Great character development, lots of tense action and political maneuvering, and some serious epicness to be had.

Complex but sooo good!

off the top; its a different narrator. I didn't pay attention nor expected it. some character names pronounced different and voices different. if you struggle keeping up with character be prepared to remind a little. however as another review said; the narrator does a great job and by chapter 4 I was back on track and enjoying every minute.

it's hard to find authors that are this dedicated to medieval style combat and the working of arms and armor. a joy to listen to. nevwrm

I love the series, amazing as before but fair warning; narrator change.

I just liked the first reader better. Ongoing story was still appreciated. It is stupid they require a minimum number of words per review.

No Offense to Niel Dickson
