Winter of Solace

The Executioner Knights, Book Five

De: Kathryn Le Veque

Narrado por: Brad Wills

Caius d'Avignon, the knight known as The Britannia Viper, finds himself on the opposite side of William Marshal...and the Executioner Knights are caught in the middle...

Welcome to another Executioner Knights' tale!

When Caius d’Avignon is sent north at the request of a cousin of William Marshal to help in a dispute between neighbors, Caius couldn’t have imagined how his life would change.

Caius is one of the Marshal’s premier knights, a man who served in The Levant with many of the Marshal’s agents, but he had one distinct difference - he’d been branded The Britannia Viper by the Saracen commanders for his hard strike. There is no one fiercer in battle. Therefore, William Marshal has great confidence that Caius will solve the situation - if not by diplomacy, then by the sword.

But Caius is caught off-guard by the situation when he arrives. The Marshal’s cousin is an unscrupulous and cruel man who has all but decimated his neighbors and demands they be destroyed. When Caius goes to speak to the neighbors to demand their unconditional surrender, the first thing he sees is a woman of astounding beauty.

Emelisse de Thorington is that woman.

Great story!

I loved this story so much. The characters were so engaging, the plot held my attention the whole time and Brad Wills is so darn good he makes the story even better.

⚔️Kathryn Le Veque and Brad Wills are my fav combination ⚔️

Very entertaining I listened non stopped... Brad’s narrative abilities are unsurpassed. I have all of Kathryn’s books, and they never disappoint. Beloved and familiar characters are always showing up.

She Has Done It Again

Yes, Kathryn le Veque has done it again! She has written Winter Of Solace, which kept me up to the wee hours of the morning with this exciting novel, but will keep me up the rest of the morning reliving it! NO SLEEP FOR ME THIS NEW YEAR'S DAY OF 2021.

Truly, this is a page turner! Something new, exciting and unexpected every time you drop your guard or turn a page! Unexpected, surprising romance, war between neighbors, greed and death everywhere! But there are jokes, teasing and laughter where you least expect it. I shed tears, laughed out loud and was scared to anticipate what might happen next! Definitely a keeper to revisit often!

Another Good One

You will enjoy the story of Caius and Emelisse. The strength and sensitivity of Caius and the strength of Emelisse. They are a good match. The supporting characters are very enjoyable as well. Of course you have the same attitudes of greed. malice, war and treachery, everything that rounds out the story. Now, on to the next one because KLV doesn't disappoint.

I loved it!

I can’t say enough about this well written story. It was truly magical and it had sad, funny and grit your teeth emotions. Brad Wills is an amazing narrator! He brought me to tears, had me laughing and setting on the edge of my seat. I especially loved to hear him sing the songs in this tale. What a wonderful combination he and Kathryn make. She writes them and Brad makes me believe I am in the theater watching every character with baited breath.

Winter of Solace

Another great one, written by Kathryn LeVeque and narrated by Brad Wills! Together they transport you to an exciting, yet dangerous time. I’ve waited for The Executioner Knights, Winter of Solace, book 5 for quite a while. It was WELL worth the wait. 😍

Brad Mills is awful, LeVeque is great! Love strong men!

I’m not buying anymore Audibles narrated by Brad Mills.

Aside from Lord of the Shadows, which he did okay, less than Sean deserved but okay (except during the critical scene which he executed hauntingly and beautifully), I’ve done nothing to deserve his creepy, hissing voices and weird inflections.

I feel Mills doesn’t understand powerful men the way he voices them. He’s dramatizes too much. These heroes need even voices with less questioning inflection. More natural, confident delivery of the dialog LeVeque has expertly written for them.

Having said that - I love Cai. I love the intelligence, professionalism, strength, yet kindness and charisma LeVeque built into him - in this book and others he makes appearances in. She excels at portraying these traits in her characters rather than outright stating such. I ❤️ strong men! I just really love strong men. I wish they were better narrated because I don’t have time to read. Plus, I want them read to me in strong male voices with beautiful accents like other LeVeque narrators.

I will note, I love her use of male narrators. The poor guys as they narrate the sex scenes. Impressive! Gotta be tough keeping their voices steady.
