Publisher's summary

A Wall Street Journal bestseller.

The third book in the million-copy bestselling Kingfountain series from Jeff Wheeler.

Against all odds, Owen Kiskaddon grew from frightened boy to confident youth to trusted officer in the court of Kingfountain - and watched its regent, Severn Argentine, grow ever more ruthless and power-mad. Robbed of his beloved protector, his noble mentor, and his true love, Owen has anticipated the day when the king he fears and reviles, yet loyally serves, will be toppled. Now, as Severn plots a campaign of conquest, the time has come to take action...and Owen’s destiny demands that he lead the strike.

Ordered to incite war with a neighboring kingdom, Owen discovers its beautiful, reclusive ruler, whose powerful magic might even exceed his own. Together they mount a daring plot to overthrow the corrupt monarch, crown the rightful heir, and defeat the prophesied curse threatening Kingfountain with wintry death. But Severn’s evil is as bottomless as the fabled Deep Fathoms. To keep his ill-gotten throne, he’ll gladly spill the blood of enemies and innocents alike.

Owen the Champion

As the story ends we understand so many things. I loved this trilogy, the narrator, and the characters.

King’s Traitor

Good book.

Only time I’ve really ever cheered on a traitor, or well at least wholeheartedly.

Enjoyed it and found it to be a great end to the first Kingfountain trilogy or batch.

I can’t wait to get into the second trilogy set or batch depending on how you want to label the sets.

I would like to read the prequel book in between as the author suggests but I don’t have the money now, so on to book 4.

Also, the performance was great, as expected of Rudd.

The best series I've had in years

I had the 1st book of this series in my library for a couple of years and kept missing it until recently, when I was determined to try and clear most un-reads out. I had not read any of Jeff Wheelers books, so you who have enjoyed his tales know how I've now become a faithful fan and will read his other series. This series is now one of my all time favorites. This is by someone who has enjoyed this genre for the past 50yrs. I highly recommend.

Great series!

I have and thoroughly enjoying this series. The conflicts and multiple dilemmas that these young people were faced with is almost unbelievable for people from our century. This was the life of these young nobles back then. It was not very appealing! I thoroughly enjoyed the series and I'm hoping that the next book in it will be available in an audible addition also
