Resumen del Editor

1305 A.D. Being descended from a great though disgraced family can be a greater curse than most. As a direct descendent of Simon de Montfort, Lady Gray de Montfort Serroux has lived her life with the axe of shame hanging over her head. Because of this, her marriage matches were limited and she wed a dishonorable man who widowed her when he was murdered in a gambling game.

Left with a young daughter to support, Gray and her daughter and her mother have been living in poverty. But now her daughter is approaching marriageable age and Gray's conniving, haughty mother plots to marry the girl to the first wealthy man who offers for her hand. Meanwhile, an army of mercenaries seeks shelter at Gray's crumbling castle. Their leader, Sir Braxton de Nerra, is a knight bannerette.

Not sworn to a single liege, he travels with his mercenaries and has accumulated a good deal of wealth fighting other people's battles. Taken with the beautiful Lady Gray even as the lady's mother tries to force the granddaughter upon him, Braxton finds himself drawn into the desperate life they lead at the Castle Erith. As Braxton and Gray fall in love, Gray's mother, the evil Constance, continues to wreak havoc, now aimed at the man who so desperately loves her daughter.

Join Braxton as he fights for his new home, his new family, and is finally forced into the ultimate act of self-sacrifice to save those he loves.

What did you like best about this story?

The way it was written

Have you listened to any of Brian J. Gill’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is the second book I purchased that was narrated by Brian J. Gill. I plan on purchasing more of her audio books and I will look for the ones narrated by Brian and get those first. He is very very good. In fact, I would say he is in my top three favorites of all time.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I'm not good at tag lines

Really Enjoyed ... But

KLV is one of my favorite authors. I thoroughly enjoyed this book without a doubt, but I felt there are some loose ends to the story. I am not one to give spoilers so I won't mention where. I love Braxton's character. He is true to his profession. His relationship with Grey is love at first sight and this makes for an interesting story.

Love!

Great story line! Wonderful story line! Alway a pleasure to listen with Brian as narrator!

LeVeque and Gill make an awesome duo!

The Falls of Erith is one of my favorites of Kathryn Le Veque and Brian J. Gill is one of the best narrators. I strongly recommend this audio.

Amazing as always !

Another amazing book from the author and outstanding narrator. I loved the hero and heroine and there care for each other. Found the daughter a brat from start to end. Enjoy!

Enjoyable read

This was enjoyable, my fifth listen by this author. So far my least favorite but still a very good one indeed.

Best narrator ever!!

I love every book this author writes, but what i want to point out is the narrator...he brings the book to life and makes it SUCH a joy to listen to!!

Love At First Sight

An older man and mercenary Sir Braxton de Nerra happens upon Grey Serroux without a second to spare. From there the story grows and the plot twists. Amongst the opportunists and plotters Lady Grey's mother turns out to be the worst villian of all. Full of action and adventure and great narration, I highly recommend this stand alone tale.

Overall moving story from beginning to end

Would you listen to The Falls of Erith again? Why?

I love to listen to all of Kathryn Le Veque's books over and over as I always realize I've missed something the first time around.

Lady Gray because she never gives up and stays strong and true throughout

Which scene was your favorite?

When Braxton throws down his sword and armor to be with his lady wife

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Any additional comments?

I have recommended this to several of my friends and hope that the author will continue to write in this era. I would also love her to write about Highlanders as Scotland and Scottish men are always an enjoyable read.
