The Iron Knight

The De Russe Legacy, Book 3

By: Kathryn Le Veque

Narrated by: Brad Wills

AD 1410 - Battle-hardened warrior and favored of the king, Sir Lucien de Russe is called the Iron Knight because of his indestructibility in battle. An older knight, Lucien is entering his fortieth year and has seen a good deal in his lifetime. But having sustained fairly serious wounds in the most recent rebellions against Henry IV, Lucien retires his sword and spurs, choosing to live out the rest of his life in peace. Physically, he is damaged goods and must heal. Mentally, however, he is already dead.

Having lost his wife many years ago, Lucien has two children - a son who barely acknowledges him and a daughter who refuses to leave him. Lucien finds no joy in life any longer, looking back upon an illustrious career, admired and loved by the fighting men of England, yet inside, he is hollow. It is this existence he has resigned himself to when the king, believing he is doing Lucien a great favor, pledges him to a very young heiress. When the petty, spoiled girl and her pompous father show up at Lucien's home, he makes an escape.

Riding south to clear his head, Lucien runs right into a robbery in progress. A fine carriage has been set upon by bandits and Lucien knows he cannot turn away. Begrudgingly, the Iron Knight goes into action once more and saves the occupants of the carriage, a mother and her young daughter.

Lady Sophina de Gournay is a widow, returning home after a visit with her father. When the big, handsome knight with the long, dark hair saves her from the outlaws, a simple moment of gratitude turns into something that binds her to Lucien far more than either of them realize. It's that brief and beautiful moment in time, that wonderful chance meeting, that sets off a chain of events that could destroy them both.

Join Lucien and Sophina in a romance of a lifetime, where second chances at love are something worth fighting for.

The Iron Knight

In this one we have another amazing 5 Star performance by Brad Wills! Kathryn Le Veque also deserves 5 Stars for a very creative, ingenious, and touching novel. While I usually read the book first, I didn't on this one. It seems the audiobook cover kept calling to me. Fabulous cover in my opinion, and the story was filled with unexpected twists and turns. You'll get a couple of surprises in this one I think, but as always, Kathryn's books always seem to pull you into the story while tangling with your emotions the entire time. Excellent collaboration, again, for these 2 gifted talents. This is a do not miss.

I remember then why I hadn’t finished it

I’m a fan of Brad Wills but in this book his voice of the daughter of the knight is horrible. So much so that I turned it off and didn’t finish it. After several months I was going through my library and turned it on..screeech in my ears(I listen with earbuds). I took them out of my ears when that voice would come on. Anyway..liked it but for that.

The Iron Knight

So many emotions and so very well written. Kathryn LeVeque is one the best story tellers I have ever had the privilege to read. I wish I could afford all that she had written.

Loved this book

Another great book by Kathryn Le Veque! The ending was a surprise to me to make it the best HEA. Totally recommend.

Fantastic!

Kathryn has put her brain to work and produced another super story. Brad has put his voice to the words and kept me absolutely enthralled to the last word. I listened to it all in one setting. I LOVED it!
