A great knight, forced to surrender his spurs, must risk his life to redeem his honor. 1332 A.D. – As the premier commander for Roger Mortimer, Earl of March, when he commandeered the throne from a young Edward III, Sir Mathias de Reyne is the type of knight that all men aspire to be; fair, powerful, intelligent, and bold. Men on both sides of the Mortimer/Edward lines respect and admire de Reyne for his outstanding character, including Dragonblade himself, Tate de Lara. Before the war separated men into two groups – those that supported Mortimer and those that supported the rightful king – Mathias, Tate, Kenneth St. Hever and Stephen of Pembury were inseparable friends. But then, sides were chose and lines were drawn. When Roger Mortimer lost his head, Mathias de Reyne was spared because of his great and fair reputation. Stripped of his lands and titles, however, he was forced into obscurity. He became known in legend as The Fallen One. More than a year after being stripped of his knighthood, Mathias now makes his living as a blacksmith in the north Cumbrian town of Brampton. Rescuing a young woman from a fiend, he very quickly realizes that the young woman is the most beautiful he has ever lain eyes upon. The Lady Cathlina is a lush beauty with dark hair and flashing dark eyes, and the attraction between the pair is immediate. But she is also a de Lara, related to the man who took Mathias’ titles from him… his former best friend. Still, he cannot forget the dark-eyed beauty and soon finds himself swept up in a wildly passionate love affair, breaking his promise to never bear arms again by resuming his knighthood without the permission of the king and fleeing to Scotland. From the brutal Scots borderlands to the fields of Dupplin Moor and a historic battle, join Mathias and Cathlina as their journey in life takes them on a passionate adventure of love, life, learning, and the redemption of the man once known as The Fallen One.

What can I say about this book? So far this is one of Ms. Le Veque's best books she has written thus far! I just instantly loved everything about it! The story just pulled you in making me feel for all the characters and their plights sometimes I even felt I that I was even part of the book too. The story moved quite nicely making it hard to put the book down at all! There were lots of very interesting plot twists, action, battles, family issues, friendships, betrayals and a cute adorable furry otter all thrown in the mix in actuality I never wanted it to end!
I truly loved the very handsome but seemingly apathetic hero Mathias de Reyne and the lovely beautiful spirited heroine Cathlina de Lara who might have been related to his former best friend but the attraction and love that these two had was written so beautifully. How Mathias the fallen one becomes redeemed especially due to his love of Cathlina that I had to not only buy the book but the kindle edition and read both of them twice! If any of you have read the dragonblade trilogy about the draogonblade boys you will read about some very familiar faces Tate de Lara, Kenneth St. Hever and Stephen of Pembury which make an appearance in this book which I just loved revisiting and reading about all of them too.
Now all I can do is beg Ms. Le Veque even though she doesn't want to write about Sebastian the Red or for more medieval books which I am sure she will write more! I unequivocally rate this book five stars, can recommend it, will keep it in my library to read again and will buy more books from Ms. Le Veque!

I loved this story of Mathias de Rheyne and his wife, Cathlin. I always hate to see these books end as I'm continually having to search for new books by this author and have begun to have to dig deep to find those I have not read. This book is the story of Mathias, his brother, Sebastian the Red and their father, Justus, who were all stripped of their knighthoods, titles and lands because they fought for Mortimer. They really didn't have much choice because Mortimer was a relative by marriage & Mathias had promised his mother he would always support the husband of his mother's much loved sister. When Mortimer was put to death the king could have also put Mathias & his family to the same fate. However, King Edward had long been friends with Mathias, as well as Mathias was good friends with Tate de Lara (Edward's uncle & mentor), so the de Rheyne men managed to keep their lives but little else. While making their living as blacksmiths they met the woman Mathias would marry. It was a wonderful story!

Sir Mathias de Reyene is a dishonored knight. He sided with Mortimer against king Edward because Mortimer was family. When Mortimer was executed Mathias and his brother and father should’ve been executed as well. However, his friends Tate De Lara, Stephen Pembury, and Kenneth St. Hever, convinced the king and others to spare him because of his strong reputation as an honorable knight who served the king for many years. To save his life he was stripped of everything, his knighthood, titles and property and went on to live as a blacksmith. That’s when he met the lovely Cathelin de Lara. He saved her and her sister from being abducted and they had an immediate attraction. That’s when he realized he had something worth fighting for and he came up with a plan to regain what he once had, along with a wife. I really enjoyed the the story and the male characters but I had a difficult time liking Cathelin. She was so immature and selfish to the point of annoyance. I could not see his attraction to her beyond the physical aspect. However I did enjoy the the strong knights being back together again.

I have not read a single book of this lady's that I haven't enjoyed!

Her historical knowledge is amazing and boy can she entwine characters and relationships within the confines of actual events!!

I buy every book that she publishes as soon as it is available and devour them immediately!!

Apart from the occasional silly 'girl' characters, her heroes and heroines are delightful and the mix of true history intertwined with a little fantasy or embellishment are a true delight and a great way to leave the humdrum world behind for a few hours.

I thoroughly recommend Kathryn's books at any time.

As with Le Veque's Dragonblade trilogy, this us a very good read that takes the reader away to the land of knights and troubled times where a knight fighting on the wrong side can regain his honour and maybe find love too. I recommend this easy but enthralling read.
