1231 A.D. — After a nasty skirmish along the England/Scotland border at Bog Wood, a badly wounded knight has crawled off to die. As women from the Clan Scott fan out across the battlefield to collect the spoils of war, one woman breaks off from the pack. She is sickened by the tradition of stealing valuables off the dead and runs off to hide. In her hiding place, however, lingers the badly … wounded knight. The young woman is frightened at first but her natural instinct to lend aid takes over. She tends the knight and saves his life. Little does the Lady Jordan Scott know that she has just saved the life of the dreaded English knight known to her people as The Wolf….
Several months later, peace is proposed along the border. An English groom is offered to a Scots bride. The Lady Jordan Scott is that bride and her groom is the aged and powerful Earl of Teviot, John de Longley. When Lord de Longley sends his mighty and hated army to collect his new bride, the captain of the army personally retrieves Lady Jordan. When Jordan looks upon the fearsome English knight, she realizes there is something oddly familiar about his voice. When the man finally reveals himself, she sees that it is none other than the man whose life she saved. Sir William de Wolfe, the scourge of the Scots, makes his presence known.
William has never forgotten about his Scots angel. One look at the Lady Jordan after all of these months and he is stricken with appreciation and adoration. He has thought of nothing else but the lady since the time she tended his injury and now, his infatuation with her takes flight. As he escorts her back to Northwood Castle to wed his liege, each passing minute sees him fall more and more hopelessly in love with her. Jordan comes to know the man beyond The Wolf of legend, and so the love story begins….
Join William and Jordan in a tale of true and utter devotion, of a love that bleeds beyond the boundaries of Scots and English, and where loyalty, friendship, and family bind them all together in this uncertain and political world. These are the dark days of dark times, but in the midst of a treacherous world of secrets and hatred, William and Jordan share a love that is only dreamt of. Come and be a part of the journey of The Wolf and his lady that transcends time.

Loved this book !! There are actually different stories within this story. I fell in love with men in this book.
This was a very long book. I kept wondering if I had bought a set because the percentage on my Kindle hardly moved. I enjoyed it, though, and managed to keep all the characters straight. Most of it seemed very realistic, but not all. Some modern terms were thrown in, but didn’t detract. All in all, a good read!
I really liked this book and would highly recommend it.
Enjoyed book.Really have read all of this author’s books.
Enjoyed this historical book with very interesting characters and relationships
I have never read a LeVeque novel that I didn’t love! The deWolfe family is one of my absolute favorites!
There has not been a book by Katherine LeVeque that I don’t love. I have a collection of her books
This is my very favorite book so far!! Wonderful story, timeline and characters!!
Truly a page-turner!!! I felt as though I were watching a movie in my mind, as each page captivates and takes you on the journey with them!!! Well done!!!
Love all of the books about the de Wolfe pack.
I enjoyed the book but the grammatical errors were distracting.
What a joy, a book set in the Middle Ages that is absolutely hilarious. Not to say there aren’t some dark moments, but they aren’t all of the story. It’s about love. Two Scots lasses keep several English Knights on their toes and change history. A long novel, but very quick to read. The author is that good and on my TBR list. This is a definite …
This is one of my all time favorite books ! An epic love story ! Kathryn Le Veque is awesome !!
Continuance of a great story by a master storyteller.
The Wolfe was a very long novel of over 800 pages, however, I loved the storyline for the most part, with the exception of when the main heroines became extremely childish sneaking off and ending up in trouble to where they needed to be rescued over and over, putting endless lives at stake every time, became very frustrating.
However, I really …
Compelling. Riveting. Mesmerizing. And completely addicting!
Compelling. Riveting. Mesmerizing. And completely addicting! If I hadn’t been convinced about the caliber of Le Veque’s work, this book would have been the clincher.
There are few reads which hold me as strongly and as powerfully as this one has. I opted to listen to the book rather …
Excellent book, getting ready to read sequel (Serpent) to this book. Too bad there wasn’t another book, before Serpent since the Wolfe had more children and James died in Wales and the other families had children. A lot of years passed before this next book.
This was the first Le Veque I read and was profoundly hooked to read all of her books. From the very beginning the richness of the characters were evident and only grew stronger. I could hardly wait between books to learn more of this incredible family history.
