Publisher's summary

Do not wander in cursed lands alone...

Una wants only one thing, to find and kill the dragon that drove her out of her childhood home in the heart of Arthurian Britain.

When a handsome knight frees her from captivity, she learns that she is not the only one who wants the beast dead. The knight is Sir George, a messenger of the Faerie Queen and the man assigned to kill the dragon that still haunts her home.

But the road to get there contains new dangers, long shut out from this world...until now.

Together with her newfound ally, she must survive the dreaded Forest of Arden, return to her homeland, and discover what happened to her family. To get there, she will search within herself and discover an ancient, forbidden magic that is either the key to their survival, or the means to their end.

Knight Rising is a captivating blend of YA fantasy and Arthurian legend. If you like dragons, blossoming romances, and magical showdowns, then you’ll love Jason Hamilton’s fresh take on Edmund Spencer’s classic tale.

Well written and well read

We loved it. It kept our interest all the way thru. The narrator was great!

Really loved it!

This was a great story! I loved it! I think the narrator was a perfect choice! I look forward to the next book in the series. I highly recommend this book!

An Excellent new Series

I really enjoyed this audio book. It is a new series and I cannot wait to listen to the next books. I hope there will be a continuous supply. The narrator, Fiona Hardingham, is excellent. I have listened to some of her other books that she narrated for David Baldacci. Her accent fits the character of the book.

The story itself has all of the elements that makes this a great book. I am not going to give away any spoilers, but there is in a hopeless situation and an unexpected intervention or was was it? There is a knight with no confidence and problems caused by nascent magic. There is an impossible quest by two who are unlikely to succeed. Do they succeed? It is for you to find out.

The plot is set in Arthurian times and apparently is adapted from the ancient poem "The Faerie Queene".

I highly recommend this audio book. I'm sure you will enjoy it.
