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.

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.

AWESOME!!!!!!!

Great story teller!!!!! Kathryn Le Veque is an excellent writer. I have enjoyed several of her book.

I Love Le Veque

THE LEGEND: Another great read by Le Veque with super reading by Brian Gill !

Yay Kathryn Le Veque

This one made me laugh several times. The characters were entertaining. I have an audible account because of you Kathryn Le Veque.

A very good read!

Another Le Verque winner. I enjoyed the story from the start to finish. The only couple of problems I had with it was that the ending was too neatly and quickly wrapped up when the rest took so long to build and the narration. Brian Gill read the entire book very fast and with a higher pitch. The narration fit well for exciting scenes but fell short with the rest. Still didn't take too much away from the book. A very enjoyable read.

Loved this story

What a great audio, narrated by Brian J. Gill! He always does a great job. Loved the humorous and deep characters Kathryn Le Veque created in The Legend.

A Guy reviewing this.

As a male reviewing a novel meant to tailor more towards a female audience, I can say that I pleasantly enjoyed the contents of this novel in a genre I don't usually venture into. Gill brought force superb voices for each and every one of the characters. Even his occasional, self-corrected slip-ups in the narrations prompted a quick round of chuckles from myself. Much of the comedy was fresh and well-times while the romance felt completely natural. Nothing seemed like it was forced in terms of characters or the story line. Even the depiction of medieval nobility seemed realistic enough, despite how much of a trope it can be. The things The Legend lacks lie in a lack of real depth or a male definition of "epicness". Thus, I can't say if I will appraoch another romance novel in the future, but I can definitely say that The Legend knows what it wants, and does it well.

WOW!

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.
