Krondor: The Betrayal
Nine years have passed since the aftermath of
Sethanon, and rumor is that dark forces are plaguing
the Kingdom of the Isles. The harbinger of these
rumors is an evil moredhel named Gorath. However, who
could trust an evil dark elf in such matters?
Soon, it becomes apparent that Gorath was indeed
telling the truth, as Nighthawks are out to kill once
again. As in the distant past, politics has become a
murderous game. At the heart of all this mayhem, is a
group of powerful magicians known only as The Six.
Meanwhile, trouble is stirring elsewhere, as Tsurani
gem smugglers, a rival gang to the Mockers led by the
mysterious entity known as The Crawler, and traitors
to the royal crown are making haste in destroying the
Kingdom of the Isles. Protecting itself from all
sides, the Kingdom has asked upon Squire James to put
everything to rest. But as the plot unfolds, it
becomes clear this mission will be one of the hardest
ever taken by the ex-thieving squire.
Plus sides: Lots of action, good and original plot.
Minus sides: Can be too easy to guess what will
happen.
