Traitor of Redwinter

£9.99

The power of the Sixth Gate grows stronger within Raine each day – to control it, she needs lessons no living Draoihn can teach her – but when her master Ulovar is struck by a mysterious sickness that slowly saps the vitality from his body, Raine must face her growing darkness alone. And to do so, she must learn the secrets the Draoihn themselves purged from the world. The book can teach her. She doesn’t know where she found it, or when exactly, but its ever changing pages whisper with power that has lain untouched for centuries. But others have plans for Raine too, and as the king’s health fails, rebellious lords begin to vie for power. Her former friend Ovitus seeks Raine’s support as his clan turns to him for leadership, while the grandmaster seeks to harness Raine’s potential as a deadly weapon to be launched right into her enemy’s heart as even Redwinter scrambles to hold onto power.

Description

The second book in Ed McDonald’s Redwinter Chronicles, Traitor of Redwinter is full of deadly politics, ancient powers . . . and a young woman navigating a world in which no one is quite what they seem.

Raine is a member of the Draoihn, a sect of powerful magic users who hold the realm together in precarious balance. But Raine has a secret. She can see the dead, and her forbidden magic could get her killed by the very people she counts as friends.

As Raine works desperately to hide her gift, rebellious lords across the land threaten anarchy in the wake of the king’s failing health, and she is pulled into a web of treachery and deceit even the most powerful of magic users would struggle to navigate.

Raine might be the one person who could hold back the impending chaos. For the lords are backed by dark powers they do not understand. If certain doom is to be avoided, Raine will need to embrace her terrible magic and discover how powerful she could truly become.
