Description

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....

Great Immersion

At the begining I found it difficult to stick to the story, but as it went on, my pleasure increased until I finally found myself totally immersed into the story. Will move to book 2 as soon as finished

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.

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.

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. :/

Geschichte steckt fest

Dieses Buch macht so viel richtig, und trotzdem bleibt es für mich vom Inhalt her leider bei 3 1/2 Sternen stecken. Die Charaktere sind alle gut und interessant, aber die Geschichte fühlt sich manchmal so an als würde sie im Treibsand stecken. Es bewegt sich was, aber es passiert nichts und irgendwie kommt sie nicht voran. Was mir ebenfalls nicht gefallen hat ist das man die ersten Stunden keine Erklärung für nichts bekommt und sich alle Dinge zusammen reimen muss. Wer gerne zuhört wie sich eine Kompanie Ritter mit (vereinfacht gesagt) Orks und Drachen rumkloppt und dabei Magie einsetzt ist hier richtig. Ach ja - Die Mischung aus christlichem - griechischem Glauben gewürzt mit ein bisschen Alchemie fand ich irritierend. Wenn man schon eine Fantasie Welt "erdenkt" kann diese auch seine eigenen Gottheiten haben ;)

Das Hörbuch ist aber auf jeden Fall einen Versuch Wert, der Leser ist vorzüglich! Mein Fall war es allerdings nicht...
