The Heron Legacy
By Leona FrancombePublisher Description
Ancestry. Myth. Revelation. How far can you reach into the past?
The ancient Ardennes Forest holds more than just the beauty of nature for Charles Fontaine. When he returns to this land of sinuous rivers and lonely ridges to sell his ancestral domain, he stumbles upon a twelfth-century legend woven into the complex tapestry of his heritage. Driven by unresolved questions, Charles delves into the tale of a local seeress, Arda, a centuries-old story intertwining Christianity, paganism and a battle for identity. With the help of a famous medievalist and an enigmatic woman from his youth, Charles draws ever closer to the truth of this legend and its stunning historical secret...and to his own buried self.
The Heron Legacy is a gripping mystery set against the mystical backdrop of the Belgian Ardennes. If you love compelling family histories, otherworldly intrigue and rich, atmospheric settings, you'll be captivated by Leona Francombe's immersive storytelling.
From the author of The Universe in 3/4 Time: A Novel of Old Europe, shortlisted for the Eric Hoffer Award Grand Prize.
