Lion of War

Sons of de Lohr, Book 2

De: Kathryn Le Veque

Narrado por: Nathaniel Black

The heir to Lioncross Abbey Castle makes his presence known. Like all sons of de Lohr, Curtis de Lohr was born for war.

As the firstborn son of the Earl of Hereford and Worcester, England's greatest knight during the reign of Richard I, Curtis grew up knowing what was expected of him, and he thrived through the pressure. But the pressure was kept buried and, with all pressure, at some point, it's got to give.

With a reputation for being humorless, brutally honest, powerful, and fearless in battle, Curtis is the shining heir to the House of de Lohr. As the premier knight of Henry III, he performs flawlessly in every battle, every situation. When he is put to the test in Wales by laying siege to a castle that Henry wants very badly, the victory of that castle brings about a treaty of epic proportions—having a wife forced upon him in exchange for peace. That changes everything.

Eira Avrielle "Elle" ferch Gwynwynwyn is a warrior woman in her own right. The daughter of the last ruler of Powys, she is a valuable commodity to the Welsh as well as to the English. She also happens to be a widow, and since the death of her husband, she has fought in every battle against the English in his stead. That means she fought against Curtis in his quest to take her castle, something he wasn't aware of. A woman of mystery, Elle carries many secrets that she keeps deeply buried. She has plans for her new husband.

One thing she didn't plan on was falling in love with him. And the feeling is very, very mutual.

Join Curtis and Elle in a dangerous game of politics and passion during a time when the slightest swing of the pendulum could mean life or death. It's an all-out battle within the House of de Lohr to keep Curtis out of danger… and to keep Elle by his side when her natural instincts dictate otherwise. Can their love survive the ghosts of her past? Or will those ghosts consume them both?

Sometimes, the true enemy is within…

Fantastic!

Get this powerful story! I promise you will not regret it! It has everything in it. The narrator did a wonderful job with the characters. I liked his voice very much.

The story was active and funny and dramatic!

Love love love this story. I actually liked it better than book 1 of this series.

Great story and you feel apart of it and the family

Would like a more feminine voice for the women although the narrator was good. As much as you spend for audible can’t they have a women on the same book. It’s like so many of the books,

Loved It!!!

KLV has done it again. I could not stop listening. You are taken on a ride from the start, and I love that. I enjoyed the way Curtis and Elle's story was developed. The additional characters made this book interesting and very entertaining. I don't like to give spoilers, but... I thoroughly enjoyed the characters (Christopher & Dustin de Lohr (Rise of the Defender), Alexander de Sherrington (A Time of End), Sean de Lara (Lord of Shadows) as well as other) from KLV's other books being in this one. It makes me want to revisit those books again.

Nathaniel Black as the narrator is just ok for me, but better than others. I am spoiled you see, there are other narrators I like better. Oh well, to each his own. Either way you will enjoy this book.

Mediaeval warfare and Romance

Excellent writing and good historical details, albeit fictional. Well drawn and likable characters with interesting personal individual struggles. The

GOOD STORY, deep characters, superb narrator

K.Le Veque has been one of my favorite authors for many years. I read many of her books over the years, including "The Rise of the Defender", and many others, , so this series about the Sons of de Lohr was especially interesting and fulfilling. Each story, each son, a strong interesting character. Each love affair better than the other. Curt and Elle's story is unique and beautiful.
In general I seem to find these newer, latest stories of Le Veque's softer, lighter, funnier then those written many years ago.
But enjoyable all the same.
The Narration by Nathaniel Black is superb.
