About this audiobook
Twenty eight florins a month is nowhere near enough when a wyvern's jaws snap shut on your helmet in the hot stink of battle, and the beast starts to rip the head from your shoulders. But if standing and fighting is hard, leading a company of men - or worse, a company of mercenaries - against the smart, deadly creatures of the Wild is even harder.
It takes all the advantages of birth, training, and the luck of the devil to do it.
The Red Knight has all three, he has youth on his side, and he's determined to turn a profit. So when he hires his company out to protect an Abbess and her nunnery, it's just another job. The abby is rich, the nuns are pretty and the monster preying on them is nothing he can't deal with.
Only it's not just a job. It's going to be a war. . .

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A very good story, well narrated, lots of twists and turns. I enjoyed the book.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not bad writing. Pretty standard plot but with little development. Characters were okay but I didn't care about any of them so when they died it was no big deal.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The story took awhile to gain traction, but soon captured my imagination.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5enthralling, entertaining world, great character development, would read the sequel
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Intriguing characters and rollicking good tale - if a bit dark.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was very well written and I couldn't put it down
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Coherent, ,plausible characters and a real pleasure etc etc etc
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I found this book slow and challenging to really find myself immersed in the story (nearly 6 hours into the book), but once it got going I found myself feverishly scrimping every available minute throughout my days to listen to the audiobook. I recommend not giving up on it too early. I was ready to walk away, but I am happy I perservered through the long setup.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I was looking for a story, with some medieval adventure with a bit of magic to liven things - and this (first book at least) delivered. At first I was a bit put off by the GoT similarities, however, to my surprise, I thought the author created a world I liked even better. Especially because most of my favorite characters actually survived it! ;)
Also, the narrator did a fantastic job! He has a wide range of voices and his choices seemed to fit the characters very well. For the most part, he kept them consistent - although I wish the director would have caught the handful of inconsistencies just to make things perfect :). But, like GoT there are a lot of characters to keep track of and many hours of dialog. I hope the next book is done as well as this one. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Chapter One, people throw a bear cub in to thirty angry dogs and cheer as it is ripped apart to get the poor baby bear's mother to fight the dogs. I assume this book is not for the faint of heart. Thank you Scribd for fast forward. Hopefully this atrocity contributes to the plot somehow, or I am out.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow! …move over Erikson…there’s a new singer in Fantasy land!!Violence and magic lurk just beneath the veneer of this medieval type world. The Wild is closing, strange creatures are abroad and protective garrisons are undermanned. By the fourth page the Red Knight and his mercenaries pass through a farm littered by its dead, including a nun. The steading is a supporter of the fortress nunnery Lissen Carak.The Red knight surveys the carnage and asks the question.'How did the Wild make it here?...Past the wall was the wild, many leagues beyond the mountains.''Some fool must have asked them in,' was the reply.Thus the reader falls into the mayhem and magic from the beginning, displayed through the violent carnage, as witnessed by the half consumed body and 'a single clear footprint...the size of a warhorse's hoof or bigger, with three toes.' The story has barely begun...and much more is to come.Magus, knights, kings, queens, practitioners of the arcane arts, traitors, creatures of the Wild, ordinary men, and extraordinary powers are caught within the pincers of opposing forces. This is a tour de force, a complex saga, where the story bursts from its pages into life and legend fantastic. Witch bane...the Wild and War! Let the story continue!A Netgalley ARC
