EugeneBookStore Summary

A Man Betrayed is the gripping second volume of J. V. Jones’ Book of Words trilogy. Building upon the foundations laid in The Baker’s Boy, the novel deepens its intricate political intrigue while expanding its memorable cast and magical world. Jones expertly balances epic battles, personal sacrifice, and suspense, creating one of the strongest middle volumes in modern fantasy.

Collector Notes

Although published before the title was changed in some markets to The Barbed Coil, A Man Betrayed contains the same second installment of the Book of Words trilogy. Both editions are collected by J. V. Jones fans, with the original title remaining especially desirable among collectors completing early print runs.
