About this ebook
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.

'Takes the reader into the depths of the politics of the world, a truly dark murky, back stabbing politics, politics fueled by ambition and magic . . . It's exactly what a middle book should be, if not more' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

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.
