About this ebook
In this sweeping family saga, one man's choices in love and work, in friends and enemies, set the stage for generations to come. This is the Ballantyne Legacy.
On a bitter December day in 1784, Silas Ballantyne arrives at the door of blacksmith Liege Lee in York County, Pennsylvania. Silas is determined to finish his apprenticeship quickly and move west. But because he is a fast worker and a superb craftsman, Liege endeavors to keep him in York by appealing to an old tradition: the apprentice shall marry one of his master's beautiful daughters.
Eden is as gentle and fresh as Elspeth is high-spirited and cunning. But are they truly who they appear to be? In a house laced with secrets, each sister seeks to secure her future. Which one will claim Silas's heart--and will he agree to Liege's arrangement?

Ok read. Words being jumbled together made the reading a lil difficult. Overly religious sometimes unnecessarily which in a way hindered the story line and slowed the flow quite a bit.

Although this edition had errors with words being run together, the story is captivating from beginning to end. Eden and Silas are well developed characters and I loved their story. I can not wait to begin the next book.
