Plagued by nightmares of her grandmother's mysterious brooch lost in Ireland, the well-off woman grows more troubled when a fire ravages her family's business. But as she buries herself in the rebuilding efforts, she can't shake the sense that a powerful inheritance awaits her across the ocean... if she can weather the treacherous journey. Horrified when the voyage claims her brother's life and afflicts her with malaria, Valentia believes her grief will be for nothing if she returns from the famine-struck island empty-handed. But as she nears her gran's birthplace and the last known location of the heirloom, the determined woman draws ever closer to a force beyond her imagination... and a battalion of deadly danger. Can Valentia uphold a destiny she doesn't yet understand without losing everyone she loves? Legacy of Hunger is the sweeping first book in The Druid's Brooch historical fantasy series. If you like compelling female characters, immersive authenticity, and a dash of magic, then you'll love Christy Nicholas's transatlantic quest. Buy Legacy of Hunger to trace a family treasure today!
