The Red Knight

An epic historical fantasy with action, dragons and war, a must read for GAME OF THRONES fans

By: Miles Cameron

Narrated by: Matthew Wolf

Forget George and the Dragon. Forget Sir Lancelot and tales of Knightly exploits. This is dirty, bloody work. This is violent, visceral action. This is a mercenary knight as you've never seen one before.

Twenty eight florins a month is a huge price to pay, for a man to stand between you and the Wild.

Twenty eight florins a month is nowhere near enough when a wyvern's jaws snap shut on your helmet in the hot stink of battle, and the beast starts to rip the head from your shoulders. But if standing and fighting is hard, leading a company of men - or worse, a company of mercenaries - against the smart, deadly creatures of the Wild is even harder.

It takes all the advantages of birth, training, and the luck of the devil to do it.

The Red Knight has all three, he has youth on his side, and he's determined to turn a profit. So when he hires his company out to protect an Abbess and her nunnery it's just another job. The abbey is rich, the nuns are pretty and the monster preying on them is nothing he can't deal with.

Only it's not just a job. It's going to be a war ...

Critic reviews

Terrific medieval fantasy with three-dimensional characters, realistic battle scenes, intricate plotting and attention to the minutiae of medieval life.

Want to know what it would really be like to fight a dragon on horseback? These are the books for you.

Very captivating characters and world setting

voice acting
+ great performance
- too many characters ended up creating similar voices

story
+ nice fantasy
+ Christianity is a way to add lots of context while keeping information intake low
- sensitive christians might have issues with the misusage of their characters

as it says on the box

Buckets of blood, battles with horrible monsters. It's all there. Not for the faint hearted but I thoroughly enjoyed The Red Knight. I will be keeping an eye on Miles Cameron for more. I also have a new favourite narrator in Matthew Wolf. Recommended for fantasy lovers.

Love Knights? Listen to this!

Great story of Knights and chivalry. Well written and well preformed. The author did great research to make this seem real.

Great writing, interesting concept but....

...it did not hook me. I just could not get past the first few chapters. You cannot fault the reader, who is excellent. The story is strong and the characters are well defined. The author unfortunately could not make me care about any of it.

I thought this was a New instalment

Sigh... I already bought this on audible. But they changed the cover and didn't tell me I owned å different version... please give me my credit back. :/
