If I could give this book 100 stars as opposed to just 5 I would!  It really is that wonderful and one of the best books I have read in such a long time!  Ms. Kathryn Le Veque really knows how to tell a spellbinding tale that enchants and enthralls you from the very first page and holds your attention pulling you into the tale until the satisfying finish.  Actually I just never wanted the book to end!  The story has something for everyone!  The men will enjoy the non-stop action and battles.  The women will love the beautiful love-story intricately woven throughout and splendidly portrayed by the hero and heroine.You have the stunningly breath-taking gorgeous chivalrous benevolent knight and hero of the piece Maddoc du Bois who guards the heroine Adalind and her family.  Adalind is the fairest one in the entire realm but is the kind of person who is also altruistic and compassionate despite being the most beautiful.  Horrible unspeakable things that happened to her while she was away for five years at court due to people being jealous of her beauty.  Adalind has had a thing for Maddoc and been in love with him since childhood.  Maddoc thought of Adalind as an "ugly buck-toothed little girl" who was the bane of his existence.  Until he meets her again coming home from court and she has grown into a raving beauty that not only is he intrigued by her but is quite taken with her too.  Maddoc is tasked by the influential earl of Canterbury David de Lohr to remove suitors daily that are constantly vying for Adalind’s hand but ends up falling in love with her himself.  Maddoc in the end proves to everyone especially to himself the strength and depth of his love for her.  Theirs is a love that is truly “unending.”All the characters even the minor characters are so well-developed I wouldn’t mind Ms. Le Veque writing about them too.  Ms. Le Veque even managed to tie in brilliantly other characters besides David de Lohr who has been mentioned in some of her other novels.  Other old hero’s from her other books like Rhys du Bois Maddoc father from Spectre of the Sword and Gart Forbes from Archangel quite facilely.  Plus, with some new characters you also can’t help but feel something for every character despite how major or minor their role might be.  It was also gratifying to find out about them too like visiting old family or friends.The book has a little bit of everything like captivating poetry throughout each chapter along with sad tender moments, funny laugh out loud incidents between others characters, deception, conspiracies and a legendary status for some of the characters.  I know that this is one story I will keep in my library to read again and again.  In fact, I am re-reading it currently after writing this review.  I would definitely purchase and would read another of Ms. Le Veque’s work!
