The Heron Legacy
The Heron Legacy: A Novel | Leona Francombe
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
It has been seventeen years since Charles Fontaine last set foot in the beloved Ardennes forests of his youth. Too many restless memoriestoo many ghosts. When he finally returns to sell the family's ancestral domain, he confronts not only his own unfulfilled dreams, but traces of a twelfth-century legend that still haunt the woods around the Fontaine property. Clues lead to a parchment relating the curious tale of a village seeress, whose music enchanted a nobleman preparing for crusade. With the help of a famous medievalist and an enigmatic woman from his youth, Charles draws ever closer to the truth of this tale and its stunning historical revelation. Suddenly the words of his cherished uncle blaze to life: "Sometimes you can actually feel the past breathing, ladeven after nine centuries."

The Heron Legacy starts out very slowly, and it doesn't pick up speed. It was more of a slow, nice read. There was a little character development on only one of the main characters. I thought it was beautifully written, though, and that bumped my rating up to 3⭐️

Thanks to Booksiern for the e-book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

🙂Happy Reading 🙂

This lovely, gentle book contains a deceptively gripping plot and a wonderful set of characters who will stay with me for a long time. The concept of chivalry runs strong and true through the narrative as the reader follows Charles de la Fontaine (or Charles d‘Outre-mer) as he grows from a thoughtful boy obsessed with history to a man grown in the image of his father (or is he?)
