Books with title The Last Knight

Twenty-eight florins a month is a huge price to pay for a man to stand between you and the Wild. 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 abbey 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.... The Red Knight is the first book of The Traitor Son Cycle.

Need a Hero?You've got one in Sir Michael Sevenson. Although there hasn't been a knight errant in over two hundred years, this young noble has decided to revive the trade. He's found himself a reluctant partner in Fisk, a clever rogue who has been given the choice of serving as Michael's squire or going to jail for a very long time. Now Michael and Fisk are on a quest to right wrongs, protect the innocent, and make the world a happier place. It's not going to be easy. On their first attempt at rescuing a damsel in distress, they break a lady out of a tower, only to discover she was there for good reason: awaiting trial for poisoning her husband. Now the would-be heroes must find Lady Ceciel and return her to justice or be condemned themselves.

To say it was a dark and stormy night would be a gross understatement. It was colder than a witch's kiss, wetter than a spring swamp and blacker than a tax collector's heart. A sane man would have been curled up in front of a fire, with a cup of mulled wine and a good boo—, ah, a willing wench. But not me. I was out in it. I'm squire to a hero.Con artist Fisk doesn’t like working for anyone—much less a madman who claims to be a knight errant, a profession two centuries out of date. But he chose the wrong mark, and Sir Michael rescued him from the judgment scaffold. Fisk is bound to serve this lunatic till his legal debt is paid, but...squire? Seriously?Michael is always looking for a quest, so when he’s asked to rescue a damsel from a tower he’s all in...only to discover that he just helped a murderess escape from jail.Now Fisk and Michael must find the lady and bring her back, or face judgment themselves. But can a noble knight and a con man trust each other, when life and honor are on the line? The humorous dialogue and the friendship that develops between the two will make this magical medieval mystery a fun read. –Kirkus

A CONSPIRACY IN HEAVEN, THE RISE OF AN ANCIENT EVIL, AND A YOUNG WOMAN WHO SHOULD HAVE DIED. Seven minutes disappeared from his life. Seven minutes he couldn’t account for, and in the blink of an eye the fate of a world changed. Demons roamed the planet, creatures of The Darkness prowled openly in the night, and there were rumors that some ancient evil had returned to unite them all. But demons didn’t concern him, and The Darkness? Well, The Darkness he could deal with. What he couldn’t deal with, what he couldn’t explain and what did concern him was a young woman named Alexis McKinley. She was alive.He was an Angel of Death. He knew nineteen-year-old Alexis should have died tonight. But somehow the presence of these creatures altered her destiny, and that one otherwise insignificant change has created a butterfly effect that threatens the very future of humanity. Now those creatures are hunting Alexis, and the angel knows he has to make a choice. Should he sacrifice her to restore order to the Plan, or should he reveal himself and risk everything in order to protect a young woman who shouldn’t even exist? This was a soldier of Heaven, an angel bred for War. For him, there was only one choice. These creatures avoided his world for thousands of years, and they did so for good reason. You see on this world, Death is a very real thing. Here, on this planet, the Angel of Death really does walk Incarnate.
