Guardian of Darkness

De Reyne Domination, Book 1

By: Kathryn Le Veque

Narrated by: Paul Woodson

1200 A.D.—After decades of warring between the Lairds of Kerr and Prudhoe Castle in Northumbria, a tentative peace is reached. The Lady Carington Kerr is sent to Prudhoe as a hostage to ensure her father's good behavior, and a more reluctant hostage there never was.

Small and dark, with emerald eyes and a luscious figure, she is as gorgeous as she is fiery. Enter Sir Creed de Reyne; a gentle giant of a man, he is, by nature, calm and wise. He is the ice to Carington's fire. As Carington resists the attempts to keep her in her English prison, Creed is placed in charge of the captive as both jailer and protector.

Suffering through tragedy and triumph, Creed and Carington have a love that only strengthens with each passing moment. Even when Creed is forced to flee for his life and leave Carington behind, their only thoughts are of being together again.

Creed and Carington must fight for their very survival as two countries and a kingdom seek to separate them.

Contains mature themes.

Wonderful!

Kathryn always writes super exciting stories! I love every one of them!
Paul did a fantastic job of narrating it! I love his accent.

Creed..what a guy..

Love Le Veque. Creed and Carington---a wonderful medieval romance full of pageantry and romance. Beautifully wrought and the narration was superb!

I liked the gentle giant idea

lady Carington was a spoiled,selfish immature brat. She is not my idea of a decent or interesting character, I disliked her for 90% of this book.

Wonderful love story!

It was sweet, witty, and down right funny at time. A joy to read and or listen too. The audiobook was delicious!

Entertaining

I did love both Creed and Carrington! It's true that Carrington was young and afraid to have life as she knew it flipped. She had many life lessons to learn but she was by no means the dense combative brat we find in many of Leveque's stories. She actually learned from her mistakes and it was quite entertaining to journey along as she did. Creed had the perfect temperament to effectively deal with her. Jory was horrible but he was supposed to be so I have to say he did his job. Bress🐎 and Creed's brother, 😭😭😭 get me every time and this is my third listen. Overall, a well narrated and written story.
