The Legacy

What if everything you believed about who you were was built on a secret? For twins Renee and Rhys Le Noireau, the past is nothing more than a distant place they have never known. Raised in post-war Britain, they believe they are British and white. They know nothing of the Caribbean family whose blood runs through their veins, the world they were born into, or the secrets surrounding their true identity. But some legacies refuse to disappear. When the past begins reaching across the years, the carefully constructed lives of the Le Noireau twins begin to fracture. Buried family secrets, forbidden histories and long-suppressed truths emerge, forcing them to confront a question neither is prepared to answer: Who are you when the story you were given about yourself is not the whole truth? From Trinidad in the southern Caribbean to London and Washington, D.C., The Legacy moves across generations and continents, uncovering a family history shaped by love, betrayal, race, class, migration and the enduring consequences of choices made decades before. Because inheritance is not always something handed down. Sometimes, it is something deliberately hidden. The Legacy is the first book in Scotland Bay: The Return, a sweeping Caribbean family saga where the past is never truly past—and every secret has a price.
