The Legend

De: Kathryn Le Veque

Narrado por: Brian J. Gill

A.D. 1270: An epic story of loss, love, and redemption. On the Seventh Crusade, Sir Alec Summerlin makes a horrible mistake that costs him everything.

Once the greatest swordsman in the realm, he lays his weapon down and refuses to ever wield a broadsword again. Surrendering his spurs, he retires to his father's castle in self-imposed exile. His father, however, has other ideas for his greatest son and betroths him to a local ale heiress.

The Lady Peyton de Fluornoy is as resistant to marriage as Alec is, but she gradually begins to warm to the man who has given up on life. Alec comes to know a lady of spirit, beauty, and intelligence. Before their marriage can happen, however, Alec's father is blackmailed by a neighbor who wants Peyton for his own son. Now deeply in love, Alec elopes with Peyton and an entirely new world of danger and passion opens up for them both.

As the conflict with the neighbor heats up, deep and horrific secrets are revealed, and Peyton ends up in grave danger. Alec must recant his vow and draw his sword again to save the woman that he loves as The Legend is once again reborn.

Weird and all over the place

There are so many components to this story that stretch beyond the realm of possibility… truly…. The crazy aunt and her relationship with the half brother no one was really aware existed; the sister’s and their romances… there were some parts that were funny, but not what I would consider a historical/period romance. Again, you see the deterioration of this author’s work, where it has become the number of new book releases v quality. Also, this audio is missing the Epilogue, which was actually nice and sort of closed out the many loose ends.

WOW!

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

Absolutely!!!

Any additional comments?

I didn't think I was into medieval period books. This book proved me wrong. Vivid characters wonderful narration and a compelling story made me want it to go on forever.

another great story

another great story…. Kathryn Le Veque had a talent for bringing the characters to life. My next read will be “Guardian of Darkness”.

Not her best book

I usually love her books, but this one was pretty boring. The story was slow and the characters not very developed. Very little action or suspense.

Author should'a finished it.

Any additional comments?

I always enjoy B.Gill as a narrator although there were a few times when his stand in distracted from the story. The story itself was pretty good. The were a lot of parallel story lines which made it quite interesting...and then it was over. The reader is left NOT knowing what happened to anyone except the villains. Disappointing.
