The Crusader series is one of Kathryn Le Veque’s longest-running series, with books spanning from 2001 to 2024. Set during and after the Crusades, these novels follow knights returning from the Holy Land and the women who change their lives. The series starts with The Crusader and Kingdom Come, two of her earliest published novels.
Many of the Crusader books overlap with the de Lohr Dynasty series, as the de Lohr family plays a major role in both. Later entries like Lion of Twilight and Lion of War bring the saga forward in time while keeping the same sweeping medieval tone.
