Powerful and heartbreaking is how I would describe this first book in the Enduring Legacy series. What makes it so heartbreaking is that events like this actually did happen in an era where you were labeled a witch if you had any kind of 6th sense or so called “unnatural” talents. So many innocent lives were lost just because people didn’t understand or were too scared. Dawn Brower does an excellent job of writing this origin and now I look forward to reading the other books in the series.
This is full of heartache, suspense and intrigue that kept me wanting more. I Highly recommend for over 18 due to content.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Be sure to have a box of tissues when you sit down to read this. It was over before I knew it and left me heartbroken. I must read the other books!
I found it wonderfully imaginative,one a stellar job on how the story plays out. The way the imagery is written makes you feel like witnessing first hand.

This book was so heartbreaking and powerful that it was mind-blowing. An empathy that is accused of witchcraft but is not just Sorcha who will face injustice she will be joined by Niall and Caitriona. In five short chapters, this book will tell their tale and what they must do to protect those they love. Can you image how horrific it would have been to see your loved one burned alive? The witch burning, murders and torture were conducted by detestable and pure evil people and those that accused were no better. Reading this one will break your heart it is a truly brilliant piece of writing.
The book has a good storyline that is captivating and pleasant. The characters are intriguing and well developed. I liked reading this book.
What an amazing start to a new series! The author brings strong characters and weaves a story filled with so many emotions it will break your heart. She brings the story to life with her vivid descriptions of the times,their beliefs and her characters. It’s a quick read that moves fluidly and keeps you turning the pages and in the end leaves you wanting more. Looking forward to the next book.Highly recommend.

The Legacy’s Origin: Dalais Clan’s Fate (Enduring Legacy Book 1) by Dawn Brower
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
Oh sister!! This book is an amazing jump into a series of books that will all be based off the family of witches centered in this story.
This is a crazy look at how absurd times were during the witch trials and any wrong move can land you being labeled a witch. Your entire family is then subjected to torture and then death whether you admit or not to being a witch. This is such a such horrible part of true culture.
This story is about a family who tried to help out another but is then marked withes. We see the witches trying to save their family, so they will endure and their bloodline will stay alive.
If you like witches or the Salem Witch Trials, then this is a book for you to give a try. The backstory of this family is short and sweet but just enough to get you to want even more.
The Legacy’s Origin: Dalais Clan’s Fate (Enduring Legacy Book 1) by Dawn Brower is an intriguing, very emotional Scottish Historical Romance. This is the story of the Dalais family and their legacy. Caitrìona Dalais Guaire, Sorcha Dalais Creag, and NiallDalais. They are torn from their homes in the Middle of the night and put on trial for witchcraft, were they are declared witches. One of the siblings had the foresight to arrange for their children to get safety.
Well written, and well crafted. I must warn you….there is no HEA, it is very emotional, very realistic for the times and hard to read at times, but Ms. Brower did an exceptional job with her characters, their struggles and their challenges. You will need tissues. With this said I can’t wait to read book 2, “One Enchanting Kiss: Enduring Legacy”, due out in September 2018. An emotional but compelling story of love, desperation, sacrifice and legacy. A great read.
