Warrior's Ransom
A loyal knight is on a quest to save a dynasty from itself in the thrilling sequel to Knight’s Ransom by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jeff Wheeler.
After a pilgrimage to the East Kingdoms seeking a blessing from the Fountain, source of the land’s magic, Sir Ransom Barton returns home in search of two dreams: Claire de Murrow, the heiress he loves, and a patron for his warrior skills. Unexpectedly, Ransom finds himself in the favor of Devon, the notorious Elder King. Brought into the ruler’s mesnie and given two wards of his own, Ransom is devoted to his privileged new position. He’s also privy to the running of the realm and to all its courtly intrigues — notably, the machinations of the king’s three remaining sons, all engaged in a manipulative battle to become heir to the throne.
As Ransom is thrust into the middle of poisonous family conspiracies and betrayals, allegiances are shattered, and Ransom fears he may end up serving his worst enemy — or worse, face exile for demonstrating loyalty.
Drawing on his developing powers, Ransom takes up arms against the dark forces coming in a war that will test the limits of his courage and determine the fate of the dangerous and fractious Argentine dynasty.

Jeff Wheeler
Jeff Wheeler’s writing journey is as much about personal transformation as it is about the intricate worlds he weaves. Born in the heart of the Silicon Valley, Jeff was immersed in technology from a young age, a background that contrasts with the sweeping fantasy realms that now define his work. But the marriage of the two—his technical mind and his boundless creativity—has made him one of the standout authors in modern fantasy.
After earning degrees in history and business from San Jose State University, Jeff carved out a successful career at Intel Corporation, but his passion for storytelling never waned. What started as late-night writing sessions grew into something more. Inspired by fantasy legends like Terry Brooks’ The Elfstones of Shannara, Jeff realized that he had stories to tell—stories of magic, power, and deep emotional journeys.
