Spectre of the Sword

De: Kathryn Le Veque

Narrado por: Daniel Dorse

A.D. 1203: The Lady Elizabeau Treveighan is the illegitimate daughter of Geoffrey, Duke of Brittany. Elizabeau was sent to foster at a very young age, her identity known only to herself and the earl who fostered her. When her half-brother Prince Arthur is murdered and rumors begin to fly that the opposition to King John intends to marry her to a Teutonic prince and supplant her and her new husband as the rulers of England, she suddenly becomes a very hot, and very dangerous, commodity.

Sir Rhys du Bois is charged with keeping Elizabeau safe until her arranged marriage can occur, but the task turns into one of monumental proportions. It's one harrowing flight after another as Rhys tries to keep Elizabeau from harm's way. Somewhere in the process, they fall madly in love with each other and the knight finds himself battling duty and love in order to stay on task. Torn, but with a tremendous sense of duty, he cannot escape the feelings that are swamping him, and Elizabeau does not make it easy for him. Her love for him supersedes her loyalty to her country, and to a family name that has only meant heartache for her.

When Elizabeau is finally captured by the king's men and slated for execution under the charge of treason, Rhys will risk everything to save her from the executioner's sword. However, Rhys is betrayed by another knight and soon, he too is slated for the executioner's axe. As Rhys and Elizabeau face death together, allies come together for a covert operation that will save their lives. It's a race against time before King John's men can execute the last legitimate heiress to the throne and her protector turned lover.

Spectre of the Sword

This as another excellent book by Kathryn LeVeque. I thought this book was excellent. I enjoyed the plot and characters. I hope you listen to this book.

Great story - narration could be better

Great book, great story. Plenty of action and romance. Very realistic and believable characters. My only complaint was the narrator. He had a raspy voice and he made all of the characters sound older than they were in the story. Sometimes the narrator talked in a whisper-like voice that made it hard to hear.

Love Kathryn LeVeque. All of her books are great and this is one of her best.

Loved this story and it's characters

This is only my fifth book from Kathryn Veque. I think this may be my favorite story from Kathryn Kathryn Veque, so far. I recommend this audiobook.
