Knight of the Silver Circle

Knight of the Silver Circle is the second adventure-packed fantasy in The Last Dragonslayer trilogy for fans of magical beasts and unexpected heroes by the beloved Duncan M. Hamilton. Knight of the Silver Circle is a compelling addition to the heroic fantasy tradition exemplified by Patrick Rothfuss, Brandon Sanderson, and Robert Jordan. In this second book of the trilogy, readers will encounter more dragons and more magic as Guillot dal Villerauvais once again takes up arms against a sea of troubles. Three dragons wreak havoc, eating livestock, killing humans, and burning entire villages to ash. It was nearly impossible to kill one, using a legendary sword and the magic of the mysterious Cup; to tackle three, Guillot will need help. The mage Solene fears having to kill again; she leaves Gill to gain greater control over her magic. The Prince Bishop still wants Gill dead, but more than that, he wants the Cup, and he'll do whatever he has to to get it, even sending his own daughter - a talented thief and assassin - into the dragons’ path. As secrets mount on secrets and betrayals on betrayals, both Guillot and Solene face critical decisions that will settle not only their own fate but that of all Mirabaya. Since self-publishing his first ebook, The Tattered Banner (one of BuzzFeed’s 12 Greatest Fantasy Books of the Year, 2013), Duncan M. Hamilton has sold more than 260,000 copies of his fast-paced, character-focused, fantasy adventure novels. The Dragonslayer trilogy is his first traditionally-published series.

Dragons have returned after a thousand years, but greater dangers lurk in the shadows... As the lines between enemy and ally blur, Guillot dal Villerauvais is drawn farther into the life and service he had left far behind. Solène attempts to come to terms with the great magical talent she fears is as much a curse as a blessing, while the Prince Bishop’s quest for power twists and turns, and takes on a life of its own. With dragons to slay, and an enemy whose grip on the kingdom grows ever tighter, Gill and his comrades must fight to remain true to themselves, while standing at the precipice of a kingdom in peril. **“Betrayals, ritual magic, an enchanted relic, and lost histories. A charming narrative… entertaining. Recommended for fans of dragons and medieval settings.”—Library Journal on Dragonslayer “Successfully mixes swords, sorcery, and skullduggery with complex characters.
