A loyal knight is on a quest to save a dynasty from itself in the
thrilling sequel to Knight's Ransom by Wall Street Journal
bestselling author Jeff Wheeler.
After a pilgrimage to the East Kingdoms seeking a blessing from the
Fountain, source of the land's magic, Sir Ransom Barton returns home in
search of two dreams: Claire de Murrow, the heiress he loves, and a
patron for his warrior skills. Unexpectedly, Ransom finds himself in the
favor of Devon, the notorious Elder King. Brought into the ruler's
mesnie and given two wards of his own, Ransom is devoted to his
privileged new position. He's also privy to the running of the realm and
to all its courtly intrigues--notably, the machinations of the king's
three remaining sons, all engaged in a manipulative battle to become
heir to the throne.
As Ransom is thrust into the middle of poisonous family conspiracies and
betrayals, allegiances are shattered, and Ransom fears he may end up
serving his worst enemy--or worse, face exile for demonstrating loyalty.
Drawing on his developing powers, Ransom takes up arms against the dark
forces coming in a war that will test the limits of his courage and
determine the fate of the dangerous and fractious Argentine dynasty.
