About this listen
The second book in Ed McDonald's Redwinter Chronicles, Traitor of Redwinter is full of deadly politics, ancient powers . . . and a young woman navigating a world in which no one is quite what they seem.
Raine is a member of the Draoihn, a sect of powerful magic users who hold the realm together in precarious balance. But Raine has a secret. She can see the dead, and her forbidden magic could get her killed by the very people she counts as friends.
As Raine works desperately to hide her gift, rebellious lords across the land threaten anarchy in the wake of the king's failing health, and she is pulled into a web of treachery and deceit even the most powerful of magic users would struggle to navigate.
Raine might be the one person who could hold back the impending chaos. For the lords are backed by dark powers they do not understand. If certain doom is to be avoided, Raine will need to embrace her terrible magic and discover how powerful she could truly become.

I have found Raine difficult to read about in the first book and that didn't change in this. It reminds me of being inside Fitz's perspective (Robin Hobb trilogies). They make decisions which drive you up the wall but you're still rooting for them to grow up, to make the emotionally mature decision. Sadly, we have a way to go before Raine reaches emotional maturity (I'm still hoping for this in the final book) but I do still enjoy reading about her story.
The world building is incredible, which is pretty typical of the author, and I felt swept into Redwinter whenever I read it, which is my main requirement for rating a book 5 stars.
Excited for the final instalment!
Awesome

Traitor of Redwinter is the second instalment of The Redwinter Chronicles, and damn does Ed McDonald deliver time and time again with his craft of weaving amazing stories.
The first book, Daughter Of Redwinter, was fantastic, but this was better as the main protagonist, Raine, continues to grow and establish herself as a powerful Draoihn (mage) from lowly highland girl.
Ed McDonald continues his superior world-building skills and its beautiful dark setting in this epic sequel that keeps you mesmerised with its wonderful prose, and twists and turns will keep you turning the pages late into the night.
The characters are excellently constructed with great depth to their personalities. You can not help but get drawn into their dark world where magic and the crown rule with an iron fist.
Raine has a terrible secret. She can summon and see souls of dead, a death sentence if found out, and her sixth gate is growing stronger as she continues her apprenticeship to be come a Draoihn.
Everyone wants a piece of Raine amidst threats ancient old foes and new treats from with in Redwinter, Raine must find her path, weaving her way between friendships, a very powerful mentor, and her dark secrets.
There's a traitor in her mist's, and with a clan leader looking to usurp the crown, war is coming to Redwinter, and hell is following in its wake. Very powerful players are coming, and Raine and her friends best be ready when it does.
A truly wonderful and epic read, that ending has just left me on tender hooks. I can't wait for book three. If you love dark magical worlds, then check out The Redwinter Chronicles. I very highly recommended....😁🖤☠️💀⚡️🔥
