10 Stars!!!!! Cassius de Wolfe and Dacia's story is definitely a love story I want to keep in my library. It has been a while since I have shed tears for a story. This one not only made me cry, but had me laughing out loud as well! Cassius is the Lord Protector for the King, but he is taking some time before returning to Castle Questings to visit his grandmother, Lady Jordan de Wolfe. First he is headed to Doncaster to make a request from his king to the Duke. Prior to arriving he meets a pretty woman who will turn his world upside down. Though at Duncaster he comes across something valuable.

Dacia has been cursed with heartache almost her entire life. She rarely ventures outside of the castle and on those rare occasions she covers herself. One day she wonders to the river where a dog will change her life.

Greed, betrayal and danger are present for all in Duncaster and further.

This author is magnificent with her stories. I am a fan. Just loved this story. Now to purchase the physical copy for my library.

When 1 handsome knight meets the granddaughter of a duke will it be love? And how does one big loveable dog bring about this meeting. A sweet story of love, honor, and betrayal.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own

I loved the characters and the storyline development of this book. It was absolutely one of my favorites so far and I can't wait to delve in to the next one that this author writes. The storyline was simple, enjoyable, and entertaining.

I always enjoy Kathryn Le Veque's stories - her portrayal of the medieval world is so vivid. Cassius and Dacia's story has action, intrigue, romance and humor - there were a couple of scenes where I laughed out loud! Loved seeing some of the rest of the de Wolfe family, particularly Cassius's grandmother, the matriarch of the family. I'm looking forward to the next in this series.

And the de Wolfe pack lives on.......
An intense and sensitive tale of love,passion and adoration between two people who survived through lot of tumultuous moments to become a legend.
A coming of age for Cassius in this book is reflected in the way his character shaped up in the story. A charismatic hero with comely looks he meets his match in Dacia, the beautiful and interesting leading lady of this tale.
Kathryn has addressed lots of common issues prevalent in the medieval period like freckles, tattoos, witchcraft and medicine as practiced in this period.
This is a romantic story with lots of interesting information about the medieval period woven into it.
The interplay between the hero/ heroine is sweet and humorous.A tale with a twist.On the whole an intriguing and well written book.
The Epilogue is the best, most loved part of this book where we meet up with the entire Wolfe pack.They are a loud hilarious bunch who bring forth all the beautiful memories of the past.
Kathryn love you for keeping us all sane during these testing times by giving us such magnificent,marvellous amazing, astounding and alluring tales to read.
Thank you 😊 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is Cassius De Wolfe’s story and the third book in the De Wolfe Generations series. Cassius is a truly skilled knight. He’s a de Wolfe and that means the knighthood lives in him as surely as the sun lives in the sky. After two years away, he’s finally earned the chance to return home to see his father and mother and family, but especially his grandmother. Before he is allowed to go home Edward I requires him to travel to Doncaster and secure funds from the Duke.

There he meets Dacia of Doncaster is the heiress to a massive fortune. With both parents deceased, she is an only child, living with her elderly grandfather, the Duke of Doncaster. The old duke descends from an ancient royal line and Dacia is the very last of line. She is not considered classically beautiful and through the years she has developed the idea the her looks are cursed thanks to her nanny and her spiteful cousin.

The story has intrigue and a variety of stumbling blocks for the couple. Some in the form of rumors and others because of Daria’s hurt filled past. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy reading Amy Jarecki’s Lords of the Highlands series or the Warrior King series by Donna Fletcher.

I was provided an ARC by NetGalley for an honest review of this book.

Medieval Adventure and Romance

Cassius and Dacia are a unique couple. I love that Cassius, a strong knight, can weep. Cassius finds himself falling in love with a sweet woman who is shunned because of her freckles. Some people considered them a mark of the devil, but all Cassius can see is beauty. However, a devious woman has her eye on Cassius, and she spreads lies about Dacia. It is a journey of adventure and romance. At some point, both Cassius and Dacia will be in a fight for their lives. Will love and truth be victorious? If you like medieval stories with rich details, you might enjoy this epic story.

Cassius De Wolfe is the King’s Lord Protector and ostensibly the most handsome man in England. On the way to visit with Cassius’s family with his friends and Argus his big ugly dog, make a stop at Doncaster to deliver a message from the King to the Duke. It turns out to be very eventful. They encountered a festival, a land dispute turned ugly, and mercenaries attacking the village. Cassius meets Dacia, the Duke’s granddaughter, and is immediately smitten. The lovely young woman is a healer, kind and caring, but shy due to her freckles (apparently the locals are superstitious about the marks on her face). She finds Cassius strong and brave, but gentle and understanding as well. This is a story with danger, adventure, romance and family. Cassius’s grandmother Jordan makes the ending absolutely smile worthy. An enjoyable read that I recommend.

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.

Cassius de Wolfe, grandson of the great William de Wolfe, has made his name as the protector of the king.

This is just the beginning of a story filled with adventure and romance, full of new characters, ending with a reunion of old beloved characters.
I read this book in 1 1/2 days and was left wishing it would not end. As usual Ms. Le Veque takes you back to midieval England and makes you feel like you are really there with her descriptive writing. Five stars on this one.

I received this ARC in exchange for a fair review

Cassius de Wolfe is the second son of Patrick de Wolfe and has found himself in the position of the Great Protector of Edward I. With this position, Cassius has not been home for at least two years and he desperately wants to visit his Grandmother Jordan and his father. On the way home, they find a village and stop for food and refreshments.
Dacia of Doncaster is an heiress with an exceptionally large fortune; but she is a woman that hides her beauty under veils over her face. Just because she has an overabundance of freckles, most men believe that she is ugly and unwanted. Her life is lonely and unwanted. Kathryn has provided us with a wonderful, interesting romance with the best cast of a noble knight, a loving young lady, and a superb cast of supporting characters. Another wonderful adventure and great read.

Dacia of Doncaster has been sheltered and ridiculed most of her life. A heiress to a vast fortune and as sweet as the day is long. Her only flaw is that she has freckles, the sign of a witch and her jealous cousin has made sure everyone knows this, so Dacia has covered her face for most of her life except to the few.

Cassius De Wolfe has the honor of being the king’s protector. He is strikingly handsome and has been sought after by the hordes of women looking to marry him and get into his bed! When he is on his way home for a visit he has been asked to stop at Doncaster and ask the Lord of Doncaster to commit money and men to the king.

Being forewarned about Dacia by her nasty cousin about Dacia’s Witches marks, when Cassius meets Dacia he is immediately intrigued. As Cassius comes to know Dacia he is more than intrigued, he is smitten.

Cassius and Dacia are worlds apart, but with honesty and love Cassius will do more for Dacia than anyone has ever done for her in her life. This is such a wonderful story. I can’t say enough for this love story. Your heart will surge and it will also break, but love can win out! Definitely do not miss reading Cassius and Dacia’s story.

This was a great read. I love the de Wolfe family and the fact we see Jordan again is a bonus for me. Cassius has his hands full convincing Dacia that she is not the ugly beast her cousin has convinced her all her life that she is. The ups and downs of their relationship will keep you hooked. I laughed and cried with this read so keep your hankies handy as you run the gamut of emotions.

Oh my... Those wonderful de Wolfe men are at it again and this time it is Cassius. "He smiled, women swooned, and all was right with the world."

When he was sent by the King to give a message to the Duke of Doncaster, he met his granddaughter Dacia. Unfortunately the first meeting involved his dog pushing her in the water and her trying to cover her face. Yes, she had been taught from childhood her freckles were the devils work..and kept her face hidden.

But there was so much more to Dacia and Cassius began to see her intelligence, kindness and strength. Then when he did she her face, all he saw was beauty. If only he could convince her.

This has been my favorite so far of this series, although I have loved each one. Heck, let's be truthful, I adore the de Wolfes, and the de Lohrs, and .... all of the characters that this author creates! Her imagination is endless and the characters are so real, I can see them in my mind.
With that said, I think I will be "seeing" Cassius for awhile!

Yes, a definite sigh worthy story filled you do not want to miss!!

Loved, Loved, Loved IT! Cassius de Wolfe and Dacia de Reyes are just meant to be together!
Dacia had a nurse when she was young that thought she was cursed because of the freckles on her face. Thus Dacia hid behind veils and only went into town to attend church. She was cut off from any friends and lived a very lonely existence.
Cassius was the Lord Protector for King Edward and after three years without a break was on his way home to see his Grandmother, Lady Jordan, who was in her ninth decade. The King asked Cassius and his friends Rhori and Bose to stop and deliver a message to the Duke of Doncaster at Edenthorpe. Cassius did not even realize the Duke had a granddaughter. His dog, Argos, helps to give Cassius his first glimpse of the young lady he later learns is Dacia.
And so their story begins. . .
Cassius is a handsome knight who is protective, loving, loyal, and brave. He sees the beauty inside a woman, not just what is on the outside.
Dacia is kind, educated, and has a great sense of humor. She is determined to fight her own battles!
A love story for the ages! I highly recommend this story for your reading enjoyment!

Catesby Hagg wants and seriously covets land held by Doncaster. To reach his goal, he has made a deal with the devil, which sets in motion a possible tragedy.
Dacia loves her father, loves and takes care of the people who she sees as their responsibility. However, she is not loved in return. A superstitious nanny has made her the devil in everything, due to a simple skin blemish. But Hagg and the nanny are not her only enemies.
Cassius has the role of the Lord Protector of the King. He has finally received permission from the King to visit his grandmother, the beloved Jordan. On the trip, he has been ordered to stop in to Doncaster and request funds for the King’s treasury. His appearance happens to begin the end of Doncaster and Dacia issues regarding her blemish.
Cassius falls for Dacia, she falls for him, but which of their enemies will succeed in destroying them and the love they wish to share for a lifetime

WolfeSword by Kathryn Le Veque is the story of Cassius de Wolfe second son of Patrick (Atty) and grandson of William and Jordan, who is currently the king's Lord Protector. On his trip to see his grandmother, who is well into her 90th decade, he is stopping to deliver a message to the Duke of Doncaster. At the same time, the duke's neighbor, who has designs on his land and his granddaughter is negotiating with the leader of a band of mercenaries he has hired to expedite the takeover. Cassius, being who he is, gets involved, not only with the battle, but also with the granddaughter. Dacia of Doncaster has been the victim of horrible gossip for years. It started with her nurse when she was but a babe, but it is being perpetuated by her very own cousin, Amata de Branton. What is her crime? She has freckles, which the gossips say are marks of the devil. This all gets so much more complicated but is full of love, romance, trickery, battles, blood, evil, and miscommunication. It is a true de Wolfe story at its finest. Le Veque fans will be wholly satisfied.

Cassius is a de Wolfe at his finest. He is clever, wholesome, loving, brave, and loyal. He sees Dacia for what she is: a beautiful woman. He sees Amata for what she is: a devil, out to hurt others. The subplot with the mercenary band just makes the whole things more interesting. This is a thoroughly wonderful book plotted by the master. We, the readers, have grown to love the de Wolfe family and respect and care for them. This is a fabulous story of a love between two deserving people, written for a fan base of thousands. Thank you, Kathryn.

In the village of Doncaster is no different the Duke’s cousin’s daughter is attracted to him and has decided he’s to be her husband by fair or foul means.

When he first glimpses her he realizes she a kind hearted soul, but she feels the need to cover her face and he became quit intrigued by her and her story. Cassius slowly brings Docia to life, excepting her as she is and she slowly falls for the one man to ever tell her the truth of how beautiful she is. Theirs is a story of love and exception with intrigue and deception all around them, can their love survive the gossip and rumors? I have voluntarily read and reviewed these excellent story filled with intrigue and romance.

This series has really grown on me and for the most part this was my favourite one so far.

Cassius de Wolfe is a incredibly handsome man. He’s also Lord Protector to the King which makes him a much sought after man. The king himself has joked he won’t be killed in battle but instead in a stampede of women trying to get to Cass.

Dacia of Doncaster is a beautiful woman. She’s intelligent, kind and compassionate her only flaw appears to be having been born with freckles. Seems crazy to us but back then they were considered the devils marks by some.
As she grows she isolates herself to a large degree. Making her easy to be manipulated by her pretty cousin Amata.

So we have a handsome knight and a woman who covers her face when in public. This book started so well and I was hooked. In addition to these two we have a looming land dispute with ruthless mercenaries thrown into the mix.
And the story was laid out before me.
Or was it?
Things changed and it didn’t go as expected. Since I don’t want to make this a spoiler review I’ll leave it at that. But I’m not sure it chose the best path.
For me the first half was better than the second. It kind of lost it’s way at times and one moment in particular didn’t sit right. But it was a small point and overall this was a fabulous book. Like I said earlier for me it’s probably the best so far.

I voluntarily read a review copy kindly provided by NetGalley. My review as always is my own

Thinking to take some time out to visit with his large and boisterous family together with his two close friends, Cassius is headed home after two years as the Great Protector of King Edward. However, he has to interrupt his journey in order to deliver a message to the Duke of Doncaster where his unruly hound, Argos, manages to push a comely maiden into the river. Cassius has already been appraised about Dacia of Doncaster but when he sees the lady in her dripping clothes, he finds himself smitten by her. Knowing that she is reticent by nature, Cassius cautiously woos her, gently persuading her that her beauty is unique and outshines that of the women he has met at Court. Whilst Cassius does not intend to stay long at Doncaster, circumstances arise that force him to intervene in a battle that is not his own, which ultimately prolongs his visit. The attraction between Cassius and Dacia is palpable and develops into a full-blown romance. Unfortunately, Dacia has her own enemies, and although she chooses to fight her own battles, it would seem that she is about to lose that one most precious thing that has ever happened to her. This well-written novel has all the hallmarks of a medieval romance, with a gallant knight and his lady finding a love that cannot be denied. Cassius makes a wonderful hero as he is not only protective towards Dacia but also urges her to believe in herself. Dacia is an accomplished woman, but mean words and spiteful comments have stolen her life from her. It takes the noble knight to make her see that she has much more to live for. I received a copy of this beautiful story as a gift through NetGalley and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Since my Literature teacher forced me to read ‘Pride & Prejudice’ , historical romances have become my weakness and greatest pleasure. I enjoy traveling to distant worlds, to other times when other rules and principles applied. And believe me that Wolfe Sword is a journey that checks all the boxes when it comes to historical romances.
An unexpected order from the king brings our brave hero to the household, where the quiet Dacia lives- the woman marked by the devil and evil spirits. A chance meeting arouses unexpected interest and excitement. But what will happen when his experienced eyes spot her unique and extraordinary beauty? When the feelings start becoming overwhelming and pull them towards each other? Will they have enough strength and faith to defend their chaste love from the evil tongues, malicious intentions, and envy?
With battles, fighting, and pure love, this novel has lots of elements that will keep your attention to the very end. The storyline is quite interesting and compelling, though a bit far-fetched in several parts. The characters were very well-developed. Cassius is a remarkable male species, hot-as-sin, loyal, proud, extremely attentive, and emotional. I was amazed by the fact that he’s unafraid to show his emotions and cry when the grief and emotions strike. Dacia is a lonely young woman whose self-esteem was shattered during her childhood. Instead of self-pity and bitterness, she wears her generosity and kind heart with pride. Her journey from a silent, meek mouse to a brave woman felt rushed as she changed from one moment to the next. I believe this process deserves greater importance and more profound elaboration. The secondary characters were nicely developed and well-integrated into the story, each one perfectly fitted in their role.
Wolfe Sword is a fascinating story, filled with humorous and witty dialogue. Beneath the swoon-worthy romance dwells a skillful exploration of the impact of childhood, emotional trauma, the setbacks of being an orphan, and envy as the culprit of many misfortunes. This novel emphasizes the healing power of love and acceptance. A get getaway for every historical fiction lover.
