Quillifer--now a member of the nobility--finds himself further immersed in court politics as the outcast princess Floria is suddenly in a position of power with a rebellion stoked by a certain brilliant tactician, in this thrilling sequel to Quillifer . Rogue. Joker. Lover. Reluctant solider. Quillifer is back in court after two years away and finds that the small castle and domain that came with his knighthood require much reformation. To complicate matters further, Quillifer is outed as Princess Floria's lover, and those who once despised him now seek his favor. Of course, Queen Berlauda will attempt to reconquer the country with the power of her husband's armies.

At the very least, there will be a long, long war. But Quillifer is prepared to fight. Quillifer the Knight marks the anticipated return of Jon Walter Williams, a New York Times bestselling and multiple award-winning fantasy author.
