The Savage Curtain

The Dragonblade Trilogy, Book 3

The year is A.D. 1333. At the conclusion of the English victory of Halidon Hill, King Edward appoints Stephen of Pembury the Guardian Protector of the newly captured city of Berwick. To cement this victory, he orders Stephen to marry the defeated Scottish commander's daughter, the Lady Joselyn de Velt Seton. In a marriage meant to symbolize the English domination over the Scots, Stephen is nonetheless attracted to his new bride; a petite, raven-haired beauty with pale blue eyes. Joselyn is a lady with a horrific past and dark secrets of abuse. She is resistant to the marriage at first but eventually her attraction to Stephen proves too much to resist and the pair fall deeply in love. But even as their love blossoms, Scots insurgents counter attach Berwick and Stephen is taken prisoner. As the Guardian Protector of Berwick, he is a mighty prize for the Scots and his public execution has been ordered. Stephen's old friends, Tate de Lara (Dragonblade) and Kenneth St. Hever (Island of Glass) must plot Stephen's rescue even as Joselyn and unexpected allies launch their own rescue attempt. It's a race against time to save Stephen from the executioner's sword in this tale of conquest, dark secrets, and everlasting love.

A whole new level of Awesome Author/Narrator!

I am so happy to find Katheryn le Veque's novel's . It's the first time in a while I have been able to listen all the way through a book without feeling anxious (due to boredom or there is to much inner dialog that never ends) Katheryn has so much in her books that keeps me listening or reading.
Thank you Katheryn !

So enjoyable!

Kathryn Leveque is an amazing and prolific author. Sure, her stories bc are formulaic; but there’s a comfort in that. I appreciate the themes and characters that weave through her books generationally. Truly enjoyable!

A Nice Medieval Romance....

Any additional comments?

This book was a great listen and made me happy after my disappointment of Kenneth's story (the heroin of the story was a fetus and extremely annoying). Anyway,I really loved this one. I loved the Scottish aspect and the h/h were great. Stephen's compassion was heart touching. He was a great hero, the best of the 3 IMO. I love that all 3 were heavily involved in this book, I felt like it was one big reunion! I would have given this a 5 star review if not for the 58 times "cornflower" blue was mentioned to describe the heroes eyes and the over description of the heroes frame, particularly his hands (I searched the book on Amazon and cornflower bought up 58 results). His hands were often described as 'great, large or massive' every time he touched the heroin--his body was described as well but not so much as the hands. Other than those annoyances, this was a great read.

4.5 read for me.

Good story but sick of the constant eye color mention.

Sick of the cornflower blue eyes. Geez that’s a bit of overkill. But the story was good.

wonderful series

I have thoroughly enjoyed every book and audio version of Kathryn Le Veques. Amazing and well written. brought to life.
