Nielsen. Jennifer A. Nielsen's New York Times bestseller The Traitor's Game , which Entertainment Weekly called "the next big YA fantasy," is perfect for fans of the Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard and the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. Kestra Dallisor has spent three years in exile in the Lava Fields, but that won't stop her from being drawn back into her father's palace politics. He's second-in-command to the cruel king, Lord Endrick, which makes Kestra a valuable bargaining chip. A group of rebels knows this -- and they snatch Kestra from her carriage as she reluctantly travels home.The kidnappers want her to retrieve the lost Olden Blade, the only object that can destroy the king, but Kestra is not the obedient captive they expected. One of the rebels, Simon, has his hands full as Kestra tries to foil their plot, by any means necessary. As motives shift and secrets emerge, both have to decide what -- and who -- it is they're fighting for. Review: Awesomely exciting read. - Jennifer Nielsen does a great job of creating fiery characters who almost immediately find themselves in trouble up to their eyeballs. The Traitor's Game is no different. But this story follows the fortunes and misfortunes of two main characters, Kestra, the daughter of a very powerful man in the country of Antora's government, and Simon, a member of the resistance group called the Coracks. After three years in exile, Kestra is on her way home when she and her entourage are waylay-ed. With her servants' lives on the line, Kestra is forced into agreeing to help the Coracks retrieve a magical item supposedly hidden at her home of Woodcourt. Simon and a girl named Trina are sent with Kestra to ensure that she follows orders. But Kestra has plans of her own and they don't involve helping traitors and betraying her own family. But as so often happens the plans of Kestra, Simon, and Trina don't go off without a hitch. The tension between Kestra and Trina threatens to derail all their plans and Simon's feelings about the girl he used to know aren't all hatred. The point of view switches between Kestra and Simon, giving the reader a glimpse into the mind and heart of each as they struggle to accomplish their objectives. The tension between Simon and Kestra goes back and forth between attraction and loyalty to their respective causes. But as Kestra faces her father again and even Lord Endrick, the evil ruler the Coracks are sworn to destroy, she starts learning things that shake her faith in the life she's always known. Finding the Olden Blade, which offers the only hope of defeating Lord Endrick, offers Kestra a chance of rescuing her servants and helping her country. But both Kestra and Simon are walking a very fine line between loyalty and betrayal. Is there any way out of this mess that leaves them both alive? Nielsen has written an action-packed, thriller of a novel. Kestra and Simon are both sympathetic characters that I found myself caring about, even though they are on different sides as the story begins. But the author does a fantastic job of writing a compelling story that I read quickly with lots of twists and turns. There are hints about where the story is going to go but interestingly, the characters know more about certain things than the reader, which makes the reveals all the more of a shock. I can't wait to read the next book! Note: There is some violence in the book because of the nature of the story (revolution). There is also some kissing. Review: A completely riveting, immeasurably intriguing and action-filled read - THE TRAITOR’S GAME is instantly and completely riveting, immeasurably intriguing, and filled to the brim with action, deception, secrets, lies, betrayal, and heartbreak. The dual POV both reveals and teases. The world is elaborate and interesting and dangerous and thrilling. The characters are captivating, mysterious, challenging, defiant, and a bit untrustworthy. The story grips and twists and surprises and leads to a phenomenally astonishing ending that hints at just some of the amazingness to come in the sequel. Kestra knew the Dallisors had enemies. With her father willing to do Lord Endrick’s bidding, there were bound to be those who despised her family. She just never imagined how many or who she’d have to protect herself against. And she never thought a time would come when she could be coerced into helping them. Simon took an oath to stand with those looking to take back the throne, those seeking to defeat Lord Endrick. The rage he felt toward Kestra Dallisor for her betrayal was just fuel on a fire already burning. He never imagined his allegiance would be questioned or that he’d be the one to question it. He never dreamed he might one day have to protect the person he hated most in the world. Jennifer Nielsen went so far above and beyond with this first book in her new series. Her world and characters stand out - corrupting magic, remarkable and deadly creatures and weapons, an alluring myth, exciting and treacherous and conniving friends and foes. The plot is electrifying and jam-packed with harrowing chases, lethal assaults, intricate plans, difficult choices, shaky alliances, unanticipated outcomes, devastating losses. The pace is fast, the writing suspenseful and engaging and detailed, and the ending worth every nail-biting moment leading up to it. If you like your heroines fierce, your heroes protective, their loyalties divided, their missions complex, their motivations hidden, their lives full of secrets, THE TRAITOR’S GAME is an absolute must. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #120,513 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #300 in Teen & Young Adult Epic Fantasy eBooks #325 in Teen & Young Adult Fantasy Action & Adventure #376 in Teen & Young Adult Epic Fantasy | ## Images ![The Traitor's Game (The Traitor's Game, Book One) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Lw1QiZaDL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesomely exciting read. *by H***E on April 3, 2018* Jennifer Nielsen does a great job of creating fiery characters who almost immediately find themselves in trouble up to their eyeballs.

I read my first book by her at Christmas, when I got the whole Ascendence Series which I LOVED. I also read the Mark of the Thief series—my favorite of her books—and LOVED IT SO MUCH. I’m obsessed with fantasy. I also read some of her historical fictions this year including Resistance, Words on Fire and Iceberg. They were all 👌!! So when I saw the Traitors Game—I initially thot it was too old for me bc I’m 14, but I found that it suited my age quite well. I decided to buy it and it arrived the next day in perfect condition!! I really think the characters are fun and thought out. I loved Kestra as a main character and found her to be just as feisty as Mrs. Nielsen’s other MCs which I thought was funny. I would say—if they all lived in the same world—that Jaron Eckbert, from the Ascendence Series, and Nic Calva from Mark of the Thief and Kestra Dallisor from this book would all be related. They all have the same base personality. Anyways, I liked the slightly more main plot romance between Simon and Kestra and liked the haters to lovers relationship. It was well down to show their reasons for hating each other, while showing their undeniable attraction for each other at the same time. I thought the plot was a little weak and didn’t give a lot of room for creativity to blossom in a mansion that was rarely explored except Kestra’s room and the Library. I felt like it could have been better given more attention to the plot but still a nice read. Recommend for clean, sub romance plot fantasy.
