Dark Forge

By: Miles Cameron

Narrated by: Mark Meadows

The next book in the Masters & Mages series that started with Cold Iron, from the master of fantasy Miles Cameron.
Only fools think war is simple or glorious.
On the magic-drenched battlefield, information is the lifeblood of victory, and Aranthur is about to discover that carrying messages, scouting the enemy, keeping his nerve, and passing on orders is more dangerous, and more essential, than an inexperienced soldier could imagine . . . especially when everything starts to go wrong.

Critic reviews

"Utterly, utterly brilliant. A masterclass in how to write modern fantasy - world building, characters, plot and pacing, all perfectly blended. Miles Cameron is at the top of his game."—John Gwynne, author of The Faithful and the Fallen series on Cold Iron

"Cold Iron is fantastic. It shimmers like a well-honed sword blade."—Anna Smith Spark, author of The Court of Broken Knives

"I cannot recommend the Traitor Son Cycle enough... amazing."—SF Signal on The Fell Sword

"The Red Knight is an excellent debut... [It] will only get better as the series progresses... You will be won by the intricate story and sophisticated world building."—Fantasy Book Critic on The Red Knight

"Promising historical fantasy debut featuring an expansive cast, an engaging plot, and a detailed eye for combat."—The Ranting Dragon on The Red Knight

"Literate, intelligent, and well-thoughtout...a pleasingly complex and greatly satisfying novel."—SFF World on The Red Knight

"A rousing read."—SF Signal on The Red Knight

Interesting story that moves at the right pace.

The story line changes and grows in Dept at a pace which feels right and the characters grow and develop naturally. I feel like I know the characters and I find I am concerned about the future they face.

Excellent Adventure with Great Depth & Thoughtful Insight

Cameron crafts an excellent, fast-paced, coming of age adventure that explores both the beautiful and beautiful the not so beautiful facets of human emotion and morality. He does an excellent job of portraying the characters’ internal struggle with those same emotions and morals. Overall, an excellent read and definitely one not to miss.

Also, Cameron continues to show his mastery of historical medieval-era armament, which I particularly enjoy. Well done!

awesome, refreshing!

the author doesnt ignore the logisitics of an army and I like that the culture isnt based on middle Earth and Western Europe.

Great continuation of series

Been waiting sometime for this book to be published in Canada. The wait was worth it.

Great book

Really good book hard to keep up with some of the characters names though and descriptions of characters could be better.
