Synopsis

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. . .

Goodreads review by Terry on October 20, 2015

This third book in the series expands the scope of the story and the world Cameron has created in a quite satisfactory way, while at the same time the author introduces the back story in a natural way, using it as a means of not only bringing the new reader up to speed on past events but also the na......more

Goodreads review by J.P. on September 10, 2016

I listened to this on Audible, as I did the first two. Recommended by a friend who clearly knows me, this series has rekindled my love for all things medieval (and brought back fond memories of my own reenactment days). A different narrator to the previous two books threw me off to start with. I real......more
