  Krondor: The Betrayal

Description: In the start of this new epic adventure, the RiftWar is done, but a fearsome army of trolls and renegade humans has risen. A traitor who rejects the brutality of his warlike kind casts his lot with the human targets of the aggressors.

Reviews
The traitor is Gorath, Chieftain of the Ardanien, who came to warn Prince Arutha of the impending threat that Delekhan, Chieftain of the Darkanien gathers the moredhel clans by proclaiming that Murmandamus still lives and is being hold captive by Prince Arutha in the city of Sethanon. He wanted to unite the clans to free their ancient leader (who is actually a Panthanian Priest in disguise in the Riftwar Saga).

Gorath in the beginning travel with Locklear, Squire of the Prince's Household and Owyn, son of Baron of Timons. They are met with various ambushes before reaching Krondor to warn the Prince of Krondor. Squire James or better known as Jimmy the Hand later travels with Gorath to stop the advances of Delekhan and his minions.

Readers will grew to love Gorath as he gradually bond with James and Locklear and the rest of the main cast through many periods spent together. However there is a rather sad ending to the story. I will not tell you about it. You'll have to read it for yourself.
