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.

Outstanding!!!
A TRULY EPIC LOVE STORY! I would give this story 10 stars if I could! Sir William and Lady Jordan’s love story truly left me breathless. Kathryn Le Veque weaves a tale that is emotionally intense. She has created a world where love really does conquer all and shows that soul mates truly do exist. I love her vivid detail of the medieval period …
This is one of the epics by the great Kathryn LeVeque! I will read any book with her name on it, and hers are very affordable. This book probably one of the best epics I have ever read. It is set in medieval times and you really feel like you are there!
800 pages but so worth it. Love these characters
This began my journey through through the Wolfe Pack, each better than the last
Sue Payton 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. (less)
This novel started out as historical fiction but turned into a family saga, a never ending family saga. The book runs to almost 800 pages and lost its edge about half way through. The characters were still wonderful, the historical concepts stayed true, but the plot disappeared. I still enjoyed the book, but found it difficult to slog through the …
What a series, loved them
I have read most of her books this is my favorite!
Long and enjoyed it
Another unreadable novel. I quit skimming by the third chapter. The characters were all wildly unrealistic and I just couldn’t buy any of them as being actually medieval people.
One of my favorites by Katherine LeVeque, what an epic love story full of knights in shining armor and feisty Scottish lasses. Great action scenes and steamy love scenes as well!
Love, Love, LOVED this book. I read the War Wolfe which was first in this series. This book doesn’t require you read the 1st book first.
LOVED the characters..Lady Jordan Scott being used as a peace treaty tool between England & Scotland is witty, sarcastic, kind, loving & someone I or anyone can probably relate to.
The Wolfe, “English” as she …
An absolute MUST read!!!
Interesting how people earn their nicknames and that even in ancient days there were women who wanted to be warriors and learned skills to protect themselves and their families.
“The Wolfe” goes to the top of my very enjoyable historical romance novels list. The plot had twists and turns, the characters had personality, and there was just the right amount of “romance”.
Love all things she writes. Prepare to enter a wonderful world full of amazing characters.
Loved it!
The story was very interesting, but the editing was lacking. Wrong words used for situation; often words looked like they had been edited, but we’re still in the sentence. Frustrated reading but otherwise good story!
