Traitor Son Cycle, Book 3  (Gollancz)

The Red Knight has stood against soldiers, against armies and against the might of an empire.  He’s fought on real and magical battlefields alike, and now he’s facing his greatest challenge yet.

A tournament.

The flower of the nobility will ride against each other for royal favour and acclaim.  It’s a contest the Red Knight has the skill to win.  But the stakes are higher than he thinks: the court has been infiltrated by a dangerous faction, led by the greatest knight in the world, Jean de Vrailly.  And the prize he’s fighting for is the throne of Alba itself.

Will the Red Knight take this opportunity?  Or will the creatures of the Wild seize their chance instead … ?
