Review: Worthy of Legend

Worthy of Legend Worthy of Legend by Roseanna M. White
My rating: 💛💛💛💛

Though each book in this series can be read as a standalone, it will be best appreciated when read in order.

Ever since I’ve met Bram in book one, he came across as serious, but steady. The trustworthy friend and protective brother. Shy Emily was clearly forgotten by her family, but a character I wanted to know more about.

Their story was sweet, heartbreaking, brought some tears to my eyes, but also heartwarming and hopeful. Emily endured so much growing up, her story tugging at my heartstrings throughout this story. I loved how Bram saw behind her walls and helped her seeing past the lies her family proclaimed over her, to see her truth worth according to God.

But one couldn’t expect seeds to sprout up immediately. One could only plant them, water them, and pray the Lord would give an increase.

Bram was the very dashing protector, but also with so much more. I loved his love for dogs and his interest in all things King Arthur.

There was danger, adventure, found artifacts but also a deeper message hidden between this story.

I enjoyed how in each book, there was two love stories, one between the ladies and gents, and one between the servants.

It is shackles that will drag you down. Don’t let it. That shame is not yours. That guilt is not yours.

The spiritual theme of loving unconditionally and showing mercy was strong and made this thread the strongest for me in the series.

Because mercy isn’t for those who deserve it—it’s for those who don’t.

A recommended historical adventure!

About the book:


After a summer of successful pirate-treasure hunting, Lady Emily Scofield and her friends must hide the unprecedented discoveries they've made, thanks to the betrayal of her own family. Horrified by her brother, who stops at nothing to prove himself to their greedy father, Emily is forced to take a stand against her family--even when it means being cut off entirely.

Bram Sinclair, Earl of Telford, is fascinated with tales of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table--an interest he's kept mostly hidden for the last decade. But when a diary is unearthed on the islands that could lead to a secret artifact, Bram is the only one able to piece the legends together.

As Bram and Emily seek out the whereabouts of the hidden artifact, they must dodge her family and a team of archeologists. In a race against time, it is up to them to decide what makes a hero worthy of legend. Is it fighting valiantly to claim the treasure . . . or sacrificing everything in the name of selfless love?
