Heir to Falconhurst

Falconhurst #6

by Lance Horner

A sweeping, searing novel of the post Civil War South. Heir to Falconhurst tells the spellbinding story of the decline of the notorious slave breeding plantation, and of its resurrection at the hands of a man called free, but still enslaved to ancient tradition, a man called black despite the whiteness of his skin, a man who falls desperately in love with the passionate mustee wife of his sadistic overseer.

Its towering hero, descended from slaves on one side and from the flower of Southern aristocracy on the other, bears a name familiar to the readers of the other great books in the Falconhurst saga -- Drum Maxwell!

I stumbled upon this book at a second-hand store and the summary on the back immediately hooked me. I ended up absolutely loving it—now I’m on a mission to read everything else this author has written! 📚✨

great and disturbing but truthful series. Love them.

[Venkatraman Ramachandran · Rating 3 out of 5]

Sort of confusing as what genre this type of novel could be categorized as. Some of the content was definitely a little hard to digest and calling it an unusual mixed bag revolving primarily around racial discrimination is probably not an unfair summary.

Certainly a differently strange experience it was to read this novel.

Love this series

This novel is truly insightful concerning slave times in the South. The viewpoints and perspectives from whites and also from the many slaves of varying skin-tones demonstrates where many racial stereotypes have originated from, even until these modern day times.
