Synopsis

The RiftWar is done. But a fearsome army of trolls and renegade humans, emboldened by the drug of destruction, has risen in strength from the ashes of defeat. There is one, however, who defies the call to battle... New York Times bestselling fantasist Raymond E. Feist returns to a beleaguered realm of wonders and magic-where war is an enduring legacy; where blood swells the rivers and nourishes the land. Attend to this hitherto untold chapter in the violent history of Midkemia -- a towering saga of great conflicts, brave acts and insidious intrigues. It is the story of a traitor who rejects the brutality of his warlike kind and casts his lot with the human targets of their fierce aggression. It tells of mysterious deaths and sinister machinations -- and signs of a time when the fate of many civilizations rested in the able, unfaltering hands of RiftWar veterans Squire Locklear and cunning their-turned-squire Jimmy the Hand. It chronicles the powerful awakening of Owyn -- apprentice magician of untried strengths -- and celebrates the selfless achievements of Pug, the great sorcerer of two worlds. Welcome now to astonishing new corners of a world you have not yet fully explored-and prepare to experience true excitement, blood chilling terror...and the triumph born from the doom aimed at the beating heart of a kingdom.

Feist takes us back in time! After progressing the timeline through the Serpentwar Saga, there is a break in the action where we return to post Riftwar Mikidmia and revisit some of our favorite characters, meet some new ones, and go on some adventures that take place to fill in the gaps between othe......more

Goodreads review by Bradley on April 17, 2019

I began this with a little trepidation. I mean, any book that starts referring to its video game companion but still firmly in the author's Riftwar bibliography could kinda go either way. Is this a game advert or is it more its own thing? Either way, the game was a hit in the nineties and may be rat......more

Goodreads review by Sotiris on June 07, 2018

I have the impression that the books of the Riftwar cycle can be divided into two categories. In the first are those books that are part of the epic series that refer to the great war events that have affected the fates of the world. These are more detailed writing, with slower plot, and generally m......more

Goodreads review by YouKneeK on December 22, 2019

Krondor: The Betrayal is the first book in the Riftwar Legacy subseries in the middle of the very large Riftwar Cycle series. It’s set about 10 years after the end of the original subseries, chronologically before the last two subseries I read while going in publication order. As I mentioned in a pr......more

Goodreads review by Baal Of on January 07, 2023

The entire time I was reading this, I kept thinking that it seemed like a D&D campaign turned into a book, even more so than other Feist books. The introduction of main characters who are mentored through the story by existing characters. The quest by quest structure of the narrative. The periodic l......more
