We are also introduced to two new knight characters: The Black Knight and the Faery knight. Also, Thorn can’t help but shack the felling that he is being influenced by a more powerful outside force and his goals may not totally be his own. It is here that Thorn can greatly influence the events of several parties around Alba and ultimately comes to the decision that he requires a general for his armies. He finds his way to an island on the Inner Sea riddled with the magic of the wild. Thorn, fresh off of his defeat at Lissen Carak decides to make his way north to regroup and recover. Morgan becomes an essential character to follow not only for the magic but because we get a front row seat into the rebellion and the effects it is having on the local people. In the city of Livianopolis we are introduced to Morgan Mortirmir, a student at the academy trying to learn the ancient texts and teachings of the magic of Alba. The Company decides to make its way across the mountains to the city of Livianopolis to put down an uprising against the emperor and the princess.

Gabriel is also reunited with his brother Gavin and we get to learn the shocking events that transpired with their family and why Gabriel was thought dead. The royal magus has great ambitions for Gabriel even if it is not in the best interest of the company. This has come at a great cost as Prudentia, his teacher and statue controlling his powers in his mind, has shattered and left this world only to be replaced by the royal magus Harmodius. The Red Knight, Gabriel, has driven back the forces of the wild with his magical powers and the help of the women of Lissen Carak. This will be a spoiler free review, but I will be taking about events that took place in The Red Knight. The Fell Sword is a story of maneuvering and build-up for the rest of the series with plenty of betrayals, battles, and introduction of new characters essential for what is to come. The battle lines are being drawn with people and creatures of Alba choosing sides in the war to come. The company will be moving east to the mountains of Morea and Thrake to put down a local rebellion in the making. At long last we have returned to the lands of Alba and the company of the Red Knight.
