Master spies Seregil and Alec are no strangers to peril. Their assignments, nighrunning for wizards and nobles, have led them into many deadly situations. But sometimes the greatest danger can lurk beneath a TRAITOR'S MOON.

Wounded heroes of a cataclysmic battle, Seregil and Alec have spent the past two years in self-imposed exile, far from their adopted homeland, Skala, and the bitter memories there. But as the war rages on, their time of peace is shattered by a desperate summons from Queen Idrilain, asking them to aid her daughter on a mission to Aurënen, the very land from wich Serefil was exiled in his youth. Here, in this fabled realm of magic and honor, he must at last confront the demons of his dark past, even as Alec discovers an unimagined heritage. And caught between Skala's desperate need and the ancient intrigues of the Aurënfaie, they soon find themselves snared in a growing web of treachery and betrayal.

What Risingshadow readers think about this book

10/10

This book is a bit different from the previous books, but it's just as good as them. This book contains more politics and political intrigue, but there are also sexual situations and magic.

Lynn Flewelling's storytelling is amazingly fluent and fascinating. The story is interesting and the reader will find out more about certain things than before. This brings more depth to the series.

Traitor's Moon is a fascinating and well written fantasy book for adults. I highly recommend it to everybody who wants to read a good and entertaining fantasy book.
