Product Description

Review

'Astonishingly original and compelling... A gifted creator of wonder' RAYMOND E. FEIST 'It ought to be illegal for one person to have so much talent' STEPHEN DONALDSON

Product Description

The gripping penultimate instalment of The Alliance of Light. When half brothers Lysaer and Arithon defeated the Mistwraith its revenge left them cursed to lifelong enmity. Having conquered the maze and acheived self-redemption, Arithon, Master of Shadow, is now the guest of the formidable sorcerer, Davien the Betrayor. No one knows how his influence will affect Arithon's recovered mage power, or his newly awakened rogue talent for prescience. Meanwhile Arithon's relentless enemies will stop at nothing to acheive his downfall. The Koriani enchantresses are determined to make him their captive and their pawn. And as the Alliance of Light fanatics regroup after their defeat, the core of their priesthood now stands corrupted by a drak cabal who plot to enslave their leader, Lysaer, and use the Mistwraith's curse as their own private weapon to break the world's order. The sorcerers of the Fellowship compact are sorely beset and the clans are counting their ruinous losses. Arithon, who holds their last hope of survival, chooses the most dangerous course: heart and mind he dedicates himself to avoiding killing, though allies and enemies muster for war, single-mindedly blind to the consequences.

5.0 out of 5 stars Engrossing and intriguing, Wurts continues to shine., 3 Dec 2004
By Geoff M (Melbourne) - See all my reviews
The seventh volume of Janny Wurts' gripping Wars of Light and Shadow series (and penultimate in the Alliance of Light story arc) is an engrossing and captivating novel of twists and turns of confrontations and returnings as the characters deal with the aftermath of Arithon's flight across Daon Ramon Barren in the previous novel Peril's Gate. Wurts is at her emotionally lacerating best in the heart rending return of Braggen to the clan home in Halythwood and especially the long awaited re-union of Arithon and Elaira.

Traitor's Knot has the curiously ironical feature of Arithon and Lysaer effectively working towards the same end. The apparently contradictory oaths of Sulfin Evend, who plays a very welcome larger part, and his part in Lysaer's retrieval from enslavement add spice to the "Light" side of this story.

Traitor's Knot is an exciting, thought provoking tome in this magnificent and very under-rated series. Wurts has expertly arranged the characters in her world for the exhilarating finale of this arc in Stormed Fortress. A must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Janny Wurts delivers and enthralls yet again, 29 May 2005
There are few who can claim to be at the peak of their writing, Steven Erikson, Raymond, E. Feist, David Gemmell, Pratchett and Janny Wurts.

Once again this epic saga of the cursed half- brothers flows faultessly from the page and sinks into my mind. I grab ten minutes at work and that extra hour before I sleep to read and read in amazement, when I know I should be grabbing that extra hour of sleep. Well not many good books are out there so I'll forgo sleep and communication with other people to revel in the storytelling of a master bard.

The story continues the vein of the previous 3, with you the reader trying to work out how much more can go wrong for Arithon, the shadow prince, while his brother goes about like a MP on cocaine, dealing in peoples emotion to achieve more hardships for his hard pressed brother and the Fellowship of 7 to survive. I won't even delge into the plot to tell you want happens, but will admit to a scintillating journey that always surprises you in the best sense possible. Roll on book 5 and beyond. Sate my apetite with more delights. Turn away from this epic saga only if you enjoy reading mediocre happy stories, Pick up book 1 (The curse of the Mistwraith) and read the saga from the start.... you will not be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Janny Wurts - The Queen of Fantacy!, 11 April 2007
By N. Kemp "Nathan Kemp" (Berkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Traitor's Knot: Alliance of Light Bk. 4: Traitor's Knot Bk. 4 (The Wars of Light & Shadow) (Paperback)
For those of you that are looking to read a tale with the most gripping, amazing, emotional, involving, descriptive, awe inspiring, magical, action-packed 3 dimensional fantasy adventure.....look no further.

I can not recommend this series highly enough. It is truly masterful. Janny Wurts delivers time and time again, providing fantasy that continues to raise the bar beyond the imaginable.

From the moment you start this story you will slip into another world. A world that at times you will find almost impossible to pull yourself away from, back to reality.

The world that Janny creates is so vivid and full of wonder, the characters have almost become like members of my own family.

The impending release of every new book gives me the same feeling I used to experience as a child on Christmas eve. Trust me, your life will be a richer experience for reading this amazing tale.....What are you waiting for?
