The Dread Wyrm

De: Miles Cameron

Narrado por: Neil Dickson

SOME ARE BORN TO POWER
SOME SEIZE IT
AND SOME HAVE THE WISDOM NEVER TO WIELD IT

The Red Knight has stood against soldiers, against armies and against the might of an empire without flinching. He's fought on real and on 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 present arms and ride against each other for royal favour and acclaim. It's a political contest - and one which 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 favour, but the throne of Alba itself.
Where there is competition there is opportunity; the question is, will the Red Knight take it? Or will the creatures of the Wild seize their chance instead . . .

Reseñas de la Crítica

To conclude, as a pit stop on the way to the end "The Dread Wyrm" serves marvelously well. If anything, it is way too short. It does all that it's supposed to do: it enriches the world, expands upon the overall story and its main characters but more importantly, it entertains.

Best so Far

The story in this book was the best of the series yet. While i was offset by the change of narrators, Dickson still well enough job. Had the started the series i would not have minded but when coming into established characters it gets rough. Overall i really enjoyed it and was on the edge of my seat many a time, think i listened to atleast 5 hours straight at one point.

Thrilling story from beginning to end!

The story was thrilling from beginning to end. Loved it and I thouroughly enjoyed it! Great narrator as well!

Magisterial

Cameron has done it again- nearly all the threads from the first two books meet here in a riot of chivalric romance against a backdrop of a menacing unknowable threat. Heartily enjoyed both Miles Cameron's lively characters but also his clear scholarship of the medieval period. Knowing a thing or two about medieval history, his work brings that period from reality to life in surprising and satisfying ways while married to an incredibly fun magical system. One slight correction for the audiobook- this book was narrated by Neil Dickson, not Matthew Wolf.

Teenage romance gets old

There’s nothing new going on. The wild is wild and all the captain can think about is the nun that got away.
Please spare me. I can’t take any more of this high school drama.
