Bay of Fear by Kathryn Le Veque is book three in The Battle Lords of de Velt series. It is a Medieval-Gothic tale with knights and ladies and ghosts. I loved it. Le Veque is an author I buy from without question. In fact, I am such a Le Veque fan that I have put in date order her stories (according to the story’s setting) and am reading them in order. She is a master storyteller and spot on with her knowledge of medieval history. I loved Tenner de Velt, grandson of Ajax de Velt (The Dark Lord) and Christopher de Lohr (Rise of the Defender). Two rockstar characters in the Le Veque world. “Tenner was a super breed of knight. He had all of Jax de Velt’s size, coloring, and strength, right down to the dual colored eyes, but all of de Lohr’s wisdom, cunning, calm negotiation, and reason.” I think Lady Annalyla St. Lo is one of my favorite heroines. She is kind and compassionate without being easily trampled upon. She definitely has backbone enough to match a de Velt. I loved it and am looking forward to reading more by Le Veque.
