After fleeing Castle Ciall, Ciara has chosen to remain at the side of the rightful Ri of Blaidd, even though Niall’s future is uncertain. The two of them have finally confessed the truth of their feelings, but she still struggles to gain his complete trust, no matter how hard she tries.

Niall knows he cannot abandon his people, but he also knows they greatly fear his power. To regain control of the clan, he must reveal his secrets and seek aid from the one man he loathes: his father.

Ciara and Niall’s journey to thwart the Raven Spirit and Niall’s usurping brother, Bleddyn, eventually leads them back to Ciara’s homeland. Alliances are made and traitors are revealed, until the fate of the island and Niall’s very life fall into Ciara’s hands. Will she break under Bleddyn’s lies or become the warrior she has always longed to be?

What Readers Are Saying

Once again Hannah E. Carey has unleashed a magnificent romantic fantasy adventure. The Betrayer continues the Pern Coen Saga with the use of vivid descriptions and believable myths woven into each of her major characters.

-Nan O’Berry, USA Today Bestselling Author

Delicious romance, strong female characters, magic, and plot twists. This is Carey’s best work yet!

-Emily. The Violet Fox Bookshop

Wow! What a fantastic book! I liked it so much I read it twice and I normally don’t read a book more than once. I wanted more of the story now and didn’t want it to end. I loved her first two books in the Pern Coen series and certainly wasn’t disappointed with this one.
