It costs a lot to pay a man to stand between you and the Wild. To risk his life, and the lives of his friends, for nothing more than money. The Red Knight has sworn a vow to protect the innocent. But if he gets paid as well, that's fine...

Destined for a life of betrayal and intriuge, the Red Knight has decided to follow another path. Hired by a nunnery to protect them from an unknown terror, he and his band of mercenaries think this will be an easy job. Good food, pretty company, strong walls and good pay - what more could they want? But the threat from the Wild is more dangerous, and more wide-ranging, than they can imagine...

The first standalone novel in a five-part series of epic fantasy inspired by Arthurian legend, THE RED KNIGHT demonstrates all of Miles (Christian) Cameron's skills - fantastic characters, detailed battles inspired by his own experience as a re-enactor of medieval warfare, and political machinations which will pull the rug out from under the reader. This 10th anniversary edition features additional material and revised text.
