Summary

 ONE ENEMY HAS FALLEN
A GREATER ONE REMAINS
NOW IT'S WAR . . .

The Red Knight withstood the full might of his enemy, and won the day. In a victory which will be remembered through the ages, he brought disparate factions together and turned them into allies against a more powerful foe than they had ever seen.

Now, he will need his allies more than ever.

Because behind one adversary hid another - one with allies of their own - whose goal was never to destroy Alba, but to distract the Kingdom while achieving his true aim. And whatever it is, it's probably not in the Red Knight's interest.

With one army defeated, now the Red Knight must fight again . . . and for every one of his allies there is a corresponding enemy. Spread out in different lands, and on sea, it will all come down to one last gamble. And to whether or not the Red Knight has guessed their foe's true intentions.

With each throw of the dice, everything could be lost . . .

Critic reviews

This is more than a genre novel, THE RED KNIGHT is a modern myth, a legend to substitute the traditional tales of heroism and valor. It has all the trappings of a great knightly tale with contemporary sensibilities. There is violence and moral ambiguity, but at its core is the beating heart of chivalry. A rousing read!
From a brutal bear baiting scene during the novel's early chapters to the full blown, frenetic chaos of main battle near the book's end things get pretty bloody. Cameron definitely has the descriptive skills when it comes to placing the reader right at the heart of the action. This author's writing perfectly captures the anarchy and confusion that exists in the heat of the moment...Recommended

The epic 4th part of the Red Knight saga. Miles Cameron has created a labyrinthine tale of twists and turns and sub plots of knightly derring do. The characters are lovingly crafted and reliably flawed and human. Waiting eagerly for Part 5.

High fantasy at its very best!

This series has shot to my top five all time favorites, and Plague of Swords cements that fact in place.

incredibly visual and real feeling. Gritty, brutal but with a whole lot of heart.

The characters are as real as ever, their interaction a stunning insight into this medieval setting.

Cannot wait for the next; for more monsters, magic and dragons!

As incredible as ever. Wonderfully visual.

New narrator - but easy transition - only a couple of chapters to get use to the New voice.

great

Yet another fantastic installment in the Traitor Son Cycle. I have just listened to all four books - it is impressive how Cameron keeps me interested. How he cleverly keeps characters warm in our interest - but introduces new characters ever so often. It keeps the perspectives fresh, and makes the whole world more real. Though it also leaves me missing characters who slide out of focus.

Dickson gives a strong performance - but I'm still attached to Wolfe from the first two books.

Every new installment is a new victory

in the main a good continuation of the Red knights tale. there are some boring sections but all together it's a good story with pace and the usual mix of fantasy and history. it doea end in a bit if an odd place.

Good continuation of the Red knight story.
