The Traitor - Anthony Ryan

nA gritty, heart-pounding tale of betrayal and bloody vengeance. I loved every single word.

• John Gwynne on The Pariah n It's been a long journey for Alwyn Scribe. Born a bastard and raised an outlaw, he's now a knight and the most trusted advisor to Lady Evadine Courlain. Together they've won countless battles and helped to bring order to a fractured kingdom. n n Yet Evadine is not the woman Alwyn once knew. As puritanical fury increasingly replaces her benevolent faith, Alwyn begins to question what her true motives really are. n n As the kingdom braces itself for one final battle, Alwyn's conscience fights its own war with his heart. Now, more than ever, he must decide whose side he's really on. n nThis makes a rich treat for George R. R. Martin fans. -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Pariahn
