by Kathryn Le Veque


  Sebastian d’Avignon was a big, fat baby and the apple of his father’s eye. All the brothers were enamored with him, as was his mother, who was secretly glad that he had been a boy. She loved looking at the little face, a mirror image of Caius, and happily enough, one month after little Sebastian was born, Alice finally delivered a healthy son.

  They named him Caspian.

  When The Britannia Viper was sent north to mediate the trouble with Winterhold and Hawkstone, none of them could have ever imagined how rich, how full, their lives would become. Alice and Hallam were finally allowed to experience their own love story, but for Caius and Emelisse, it had been something more.

  Far more.

  Theirs was a love story that passed on into legend – The Britannia Viper, The Damsel, and the magic of Mynydd Adar that lived on. And, The Roden Twins, which were finally returned.

  The legend of love, of a mystical mountain, and of two big diamonds that would last forever.

  * THE END *

  AUTHOR’S AFTERWORD

  I rarely do an afterword but, in this case, I wanted to mention something. I really hope you enjoyed Caius and Emelisse’s tale, but I wanted to mention something that I didn’t want to put in the Author’s Note, so as not to give anything away.

  There is much of a young William de Wolfe in this story and I wanted to point out something of interest – the name of his sword. The Eye of the Wolfe, in fact, was the original title for William’s novel, The Wolfe. It was named after his sword – The Eye of the Wolfe. An all-seeing, all-knowing sword with (literally) the power of life and death.

  But things change, and the focus of The Wolfe evolved, so I never mentioned the sword in the story because the focus was on several other things – William, Jordan, secondary characters, and a million other points of reference, so I gave up on bringing the name of the sword and the sword itself to the forefront. It took a backseat. However, you saw a sword with a “starring” role in Lespada. If you’ve not yet read that book, make sure you do.

  Back when I created these stories, I was enamored with swords named Excalibur and Joyeuse (Charlemagne’s sword). I still am – as you can see, I gave Caius’ sword a name, too – Negotiator. Next year, I have an entire series planned out with each story named after the sword of the knight – Annihilation, Absolution, Destruction, etc. Should be fun!

  I sincerely hope you enjoyed Caius and Emelisse’s story. Remember to read all of the Executioner Knights:

  By the Unholy Hand (Maxton of Loxbeare)

  The Mountain Dark (Kress de Rhydian)

  Starless (Achilles de Dere)

  A Time of End (Alexander de Sherrington)

  Winter of Solace (Caius d’Avignon)

  Lord of the Shadows (Sean de Lara)

  Lord of the Sky (Kevin de Lara)

  (and coming soon)

  The Splendid Hour (Peter de Lohr)

  Other novels associated with the Executioner Knights are:

  Godspeed (Dashiell du Reims)

  High Warrior (Bric MacRohan)

  Rise of the Defender (Christopher de Lohr, Edward de Wolfe)

  Steelheart (David de Lohr)

  The Wolfe (William de Wolfe)

  Note: All Kathryn’s novels are designed to be read as stand-alones, although many have cross-over characters or cross-over family groups. Novels that are grouped together have related characters or family groups. You will notice that some series have the same books; that is because they are cross-overs. A hero in one book may be the secondary character in another.

  There is NO reading order except by chronology, but even in that case, you can still read the books as stand-alones. No novel is connected to another by a cliff hanger, and every book has an HEA.

  Series are clearly marked. All series contain the same characters or family groups except the American Heroes Series, which is an anthology with unrelated characters.

  For more information, find it in A Reader’s Guide to the Medieval World of Le Veque.
