Birthright — Anna Markland

Birthright is Book 5 of The Montbryce Legacy Anniversary Edition. Adam de Montbryce must come to terms with devastating losses that may cost him his birthright. Dare he trust the woman he loves with his terrible secret? His half brother, Denis de Sancerre, is determined to stand by his beleaguered brother. Can Denis find love despite his dwarfed stature? He has never risked his heart before. Set in the 12th century against the backdrop of the magnificent Arundel Castle and the eerie ancient monoliths of Carnac in Brittany, Birthright is the tale of The Giant and the Dwarf, brothers haunted by secrets. They struggle to come to terms with physical impairments in a medieval world where survival of the fittest is a stark reality. What is the secret to their survival and happiness? “Two loyal brothers must cope with afflictions that render them unmarriageable and, in their minds, unfit for love. Two sisters, also afflicted and locked in the attic of a manor home their entire lives, cope with freedom and, in their minds, the undeserved love offered them by these noble men. The story takes an unusual and heart-touching approach to the stories of these four people, then weaves it with a tale of court intrigue and malicious intentions that has readers sitting on the edge of their seats in fear for the lives of these endearing characters.” Connie Flynn, author of The Dragon Hour.
