Resumen del Editor

Some are born to power. Some seize it. And some have the wisdom never to wield it.

The Red Knight has stood against soldiers, armies, and the might of an empire without flinching. He's fought on real and magical battlefields alike, and now he's facing one of the greatest challenges yet. A tournament.

A joyous spring event, the flower of the nobility will ride against each other for royal favor and acclaim. It's a political contest - one that the Red Knight has the skill to win. But the stakes may be higher than he thinks. The court of Alba has been infiltrated by a dangerous faction of warlike knights, led by the greatest knight in the world: Jean de Vrailly - and the prize he's fighting for isn't royal favor but the throne of Alba itself....

This is the third book in the Traitor Son Cycle, following The Red Knight and The Fell Sword.

best book in the series

very well written conclusion to the trilogy... most lose ends tied up but with enough to leave the reader wanting more from the author

Excellent read

Exceptional book, author continues to improve, we finally start to see all the threads coming together. Can't wait for the next book!

The narrator also does a good job.

Nervous about new actor

I was nervous every about the new actor who is reading one of my favorite series, when the last guy did such a great job. The beginning of the book he was figuring out some things but
10 hours in I didn't even notice. He did a great job, and the story is good as always

Miles Cameron does it again

what can I say? Miles Cameron never dissapoints. A must read for fans of the series. really divulges into lore that we didn't otherwise understand. The battle scenes are still amazing too. my favorite series ever in the world of fantasy novels.

Had fun

I had fun listening to the story. I like the historical details that was mixed in that is not covered in lost fantasy like duties and responsibilities of Freemen while navigating the feudal aspects.
Combat and tactical doctrine appears mostly consistent.

Not the narrator's fault, but...

Damn, I miss the narrator from the first two books. The change of voice for the characters is jarring and takes a lot of getting used to.

Best one yet :D

Would you consider the audio edition of The Dread Wyrm to be better than the print version?

I like audio better, via the narrations. But that's just me, I'm more audio then visual.

What did you like best about this story?

The layers of court and politic's, the underdog hero's, which made this a book I felt many different things in hearing. Anger, joy, triumph.

What about Neil Dickson’s performance did you like?

I liked Matthew Wolf more, he had a religious inflection that appealed too me, though both are very similar and do a exceptional work in reading these books, one radiates the pious culture of the times, the other seems to reflect it's lack.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Got me torqued, but in a good way. Villains are masterful in pushing all the right buttons. The noble characters I love.

Any additional comments?

Captivating book. One of the best I've had the pleasure to listen too. Maybe the best. Worth the coin to get.

Good book, new reader is just bad

From bad voice choices, to comical mispronunciations of character/place names and even normal words like Jarl, this reader is a major step down from the previous one.

great book, had to get used to different reader

after having one narrator for two books, it took me an hour or two to get used to the new one. once that happened, I thoroughly enjoyed the book again

Very enjoyable please bring back old reader

The story overall was excellent. However the new readers pronunciations of some things were distracting particularly in the dialog of the Fairy Knight and some of the french terms. Otherwise it was excellent
