Publisher's Book Description
“1906
After a summer of successful pirate-treasure hunting, Lady Emily Scofield and her friends must hide the unprecedented discoveries they've made, thanks to the betrayal of her own family. Horrified by her brother, who will stop at nothing to prove himself to their greedy father, Emily is forced to take a stand against her family--even if it means being cut off entirely.
Bram Sinclair, Earl of Telford, is fascinated with tales of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table--an interest he's kept mostly hidden for the last decade. But when a diary is unearthed on the islands that could lead to a secret artifact, Bram is the only one able to piece the legends together.
As Bram and Emily seek out the whereabouts of the hidden artifact, they must dodge her family and a team of archaeologists. In a race against time, it is up to them to decide what makes a hero worthy of legend. Is it fighting valiantly to claim the treasure . . . or sacrificing everything in the name of selfless love?”
My Review
Worthy of Legend, by Roseanna M. White, is the third book in The Secrets of the Isles trilogy. Brimming with unforgettable characters, meaningful insight, and important themes, this novel is must-read historical fiction! From the first paragraph to the last, this book contains the perfect combination of history, mystery, suspense, danger, romance, and faith. These elements meld together beautifully into a very special story that is as moving as it is memorable.
A variety of well-rounded characters within a well-crafted plot make this book exceedingly enjoyable. Set on a chain of islands off the southwest coast of England more than a hundred years ago, this novel features dangerous secrets and ancient legends that flow from a centuries old mystery that has never been fully solved.
As a tight group of friends, the characters endeavor to piece together possible clues that could lead to long hidden treasures. On these quests, they face much peril and formidable enemies who are consumed with pride and greed. The characters are compelling as they struggle with deep issues of faith, doubt, trust, truth, mercy, and forgiveness. When faced with decisions and events that jeopardize their futures, they show themselves to be full of grace and courage. And through these pivotal events, the story becomes quite inspirational and thought-provoking.
Throughout Worthy of Legend, Ms. White uses her extensive writing talent to craft a story that is altogether engaging and endearing. Her cleverly detailed and descriptive writing is showcased on every page of this novel. It is truly a stunning book that is uplifting as well as entertaining. This novel was a genuine pleasure to read, and I recommend it most sincerely.
