A Bitter Heritage: A Modern Story of Love and Adventure

John Bloundelle-Burton

1917

Adventure, Novels, Romance

A naval officer receives a letter that shatters his world. Julian Ritherdon rushes home to his dying father, expecting a final goodbye, only to discover that the man who raised him may not be his father at all. In an exotic locale far from English shores, Julian must grapple with the brutal truth of his origins: a web of betrayal, hidden identity, and secrets buried for decades. What begins as a journey home becomes a harrowing quest for truth, as the son discovers he has been living a lie, and the heritage he believed was his belongs to someone else. Bloundelle-Burton weaves romance and adventure through this tale of identity torn asunder, asking what remains of a man when everything he knew about himself proves false. The novel pulses with colonial-era intrigue and the raw emotion of a protagonist whose very existence has been built on another man's deception.
