Publisher's Summary

What makes a person a witch?

For those living in 16th-century Scotland, the very word witch is terrifying. Everyone is afraid of witches, both to be accused of being one and to be cursed by one. In a series of events beyond control, one family faces its ultimate fear and the consequences it can’t escape.

The very idea of witchcraft becomes all too real for the Dalais family. Caitrìona Dalais Guaire, Sorcha Dalais Creag, and Niall Dalais are torn from their homes and put on trial. Their very lives are at stake, and everything points to their eventual demise.

In an act of desperation, one of them arranges for the children to be secreted away to safety. Only time will tell if they are successful and if their legacy will live on....

The Legacy’s Origin

This short story lays the ground work for this series and I must say it is fantastic. The Dalais family has special gifts & are accused of being witches. These three siblings are just amazing they are able to hold it together and look fear and death in the face knowing the end is near but still have wonderful hope for future generations of their family. Nice job on the narration.

it hurts so good

this is a short emotional beginning. I have to admit I am broken hearted, but what good story doesn't start with tragedy and or heartache. The narrator for this story was perfect for the time frame. she makes you feel you have been taken back in time right along with the story.

Sometimes it is difficult to look back in history

A look at a time when trying to help others could lead to accusations of witchcraft. Often, led by those of fanaticism or jealousy, a mob rule is a group without a rudder to guide them, pure sheep mentality.
I enjoyed the narrator's take on this tale.

Heartbreaking!

A well written short story by Brower that broke my heart but introduces 13 more stories in a mulit-author series, Enduring Legacy. Carol Stagg did a lovely job narrating, her Scottish accent adding authenticity to the audio. All of the books will include a descendant of the siblings from this tale. The two sisters and brother each have a special gift, passed down from generation to generation. In 1590, these gifts were viewed as suspicious and the three are accused of witchcraft. The stage is set. But you have to read this and cry a little first!

Wrongful accused

Having read the book first I thought I was prepared for what was to come but as it is in most cases the audiobook is sooo much better. Carol Stagg did a great job of bringing the book to life. I didn’t think my heart could break anymore for this set of siblings but it did. I can’t wait to see how the children will keep the legacy of their parents alive.
