The House Book Trilogy: Part II Legacy

In 17th century France, women had virtually no rights or legal protection. The Church wielded all the power and was determined to eradicate heresy and witchcraft wherever it lurked. Life in such a stifling environment was particularly challenging for one young girl named Elisabeth Osborne.

At just 15 years old, Elisabeth found herself alone and on the brink of leaving the Convent of Montmartre. Unwilling to take vows of chastity and obedience, she believed she could make it on her own in Paris. However, a fateful encounter with the madam of a gentlemen's club changed her perspective. Here, Elisabeth found protection, an unconventional education, and the freedom to explore her talent for herbal remedies without fear of persecution.

But it wasn't just Elisabeth's knowledge of plants and the human body that set her apart. She possessed a mysterious ability to perform extraordinary feats under stress, a gift she struggled to conceal. Moreover, she was haunted by visions of a distant house that seemed to offer solace in times of trouble.

Blessed with beauty, education, and an air of aristocracy, Elisabeth was soon swept into high society. She quickly learned that independence came with its own set of challenges in a patriarchal society where women had limited options due to biased laws against them.

As Elisabeth grew older and more experienced, she remained haunted by unanswered questions about her heritage and her unique abilities. Determined to uncover the truth, she embarked on a journey to Brittany and England, where she faced the terrors of plague and fire in London. But would she be ready for the revelations that awaited her?

With its blend of historical intrigue and mystical elements, this novel is a perfect choice for book clubs and fans of Kate Morton, Rachel Hore, and Katherine Webb.
