Description
Krondor: The Betrayal by Raymond E. Feist is the first instalment in the Riftwar Legacy series, an enthralling continuation of the acclaimed Riftwar Saga. Set nine years after the epic conclusion of the Battle of Sethanon, the Kingdom of the Isles enjoys a fragile peace. However, this tranquillity is soon shattered when ominous whispers of a new menace reach the ears of the kingdom’s defenders.
The enigmatic moredhel, Gorath, arrives bearing urgent warnings of an impending threat, destabilising the uneasy peace. The Nighthawks, notorious assassins thought to have been vanquished, have resumed their deadly activities. Amidst this chaos, political machinations intensify, making the court a perilous ground where allies and foes are indistinguishably intertwined.
At the heart of the turmoil lies a secretive cabal of magicians known only as The Six. Their dark ambitions and mysterious powers pose a looming threat that could spell catastrophe for the Kingdom. Only the returning heroes – Jimmy the Hand, the young squire Locklear, and the great magician Pug – can hope to uncover and thwart this insidious plot.
With danger lurking at every corner, the trio must navigate a treacherous world filled with criminal syndicates, treacherous nobles, and unseen enemies. The stakes are higher than ever as they strive to protect their realm from descending into chaos and destruction.
This spellbinding tale weaves a rich tapestry of action, intrigue, and magic, sure to captivate fantasy enthusiasts. Raymond E. Feist’s masterful storytelling returns with all the elements that have made him one of the genre’s enduring legends. Fans of the Riftwar Saga will be thrilled by the reappearance of beloved characters, set against the backdrop of a vividly realised world teetering on the brink of war.
