From the New York Times bestselling author of Three Fates comes a novel set in a small town nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, about shattering loss and shocking discovery. When five-thousand-year-old human bones are found at a construction site in the small town of Woodsboro, the news draws archaeologist Callie Dunbrook out of her sabbatical and into a whirlwind of adventure, danger, and romance. While overseeing the dig, she must try to make sense of a cloud of death and misfortune that hangs over the project - fuelling rumours that the site is cursed. She must cope with the presence of her irritating - but irresistible - ex-husband, Jake. Furthermore, when a stranger claims to know a secret about her privileged Boston childhood, she is forced to question her own past as well. A rich, thrilling, romantic and suspenseful tale from a 'storyteller of immeasurable diversity and talent' (Publishers Weekly), Birthright follows an inspiring heroine, an intriguing hero, and a cast of fascinating characters whose intertwined lives remind us that there is much more going on under the surface than meets the eye.

'We could bore ourselves to death, drink ourselves to death, or have a bit of an adventure...' When they retired,

Terry and Monica Darlington decided to sail their canal narrow boat across the Channel and down to the

Mediterranean, together with their whippet Jim. They took advice from experts, who said they would die, together

with their whippet Jim. On the Phyllis May, you dive through six-foot waves in the Channel, are swept down the

terrible Rhone, and fight for your life in a storm among the flamingos of the Camargue. You meet the French nobody

meets - poets, captains, historians, drunks, bargees, men with guns, scholars, madmen - they all want to know the

people on the painted boat and their narrow dog. You visit the France nobody knows - the backwaters of Flanders,

the canals beneath Paris, the heavenly Yonne, the lost Burgundy Canal, the islands of the Saone, and the forbidden

ways to the Mediterranean. Aliens, dicks, trolls, vandals, gongoozlers, killer fish and the walking dead all stand

between our three innocents and their goal - many-towered Carcassonne.
