Lexy Culhane follows in stunned silence as her father
bundles her younger brothers onto the train in a midnight flight away from the
only life they have ever known. It seems impossible to her that her gentle,
loving mother could have shot a man.
Despite the shock, Lexy soon grows to love her new home at Wild Swan, the grand
horse farm in Maryland run by her formidable grandmother, Alexandria Falconer.
It is from Alex that Lexy has inherited her fiery and rebellious spirit, and
which eventually leads her headlong into a career as a crusading reporter
during the final days of the frontier wars.
When Lexy meets enigmatic fellow reporter Hawk MacKenna, she feels
she has finally found her soulmate. But Hawk’s life is shadowed by a mistake
from his youth, and still haunted by her mother’s actions, Lexy struggles to
trust him. When her relentless curiosity about his hidden past comes
between them, Hawk leaves for the battlefields in the West and Lexy accepts
an invitation from distant relations in England. But when she is offered a
chance to stay, she faces a test—can she choose between building a new life
in this foreign land, or returning to face the pain, and the love, that she
left behind?
A stunning, dramatic and heartfelt story by beloved storyteller Celeste De
Blasis, set against the backdrop of the most turbulent age of American history. Perfect
for readers who love Poldark, Outlander and Daphne
du Maurier.
A Wild Legacy was originally published as A Season of Swans.
From Publishers Weekly
Concluding the Swan trilogy, this saga centers on a Maryland family famous for breeding racehorses. "De Blasis tries to touch on every major trend and event of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a herculean task that overburdens both narrative and characters," lamented PW .Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
MY REVIEW:
I have enjoyed all the books in this epic Wild Swan trilogy and family saga. This was the perfect end of the series. My heart is quenching, swooning and everything else in between.
What I loved about this book is the readability and how De Blasis draws you in to every character in the story and feel so immersed into the details of their lives. De Blasis certainly knows how to write a dramatic and epic family story with all the characters you will love and some you will love to hate. I also love the historical references of the time and I love reading about all that turbulence that affect families I also love that the women are strong, and do carry out the legacy of the family. But most of all, I enjoyed this series for the emotional and heartwarming feel I get after reading each of the books.
If you say you enjoy reading historical fiction, you absolutely cannot miss this amazing series.
