Birthright

When five-thousand-year-old human bones are found at a construction site in the small town of Woodsboro, the news draws archaeologist Callie Dunbrook out of her sabbatical and into a whirlwind of adventure, danger, and romance.<br> <br> While overseeing the dig, she must try to make sense of a cloud of death and misfortune that hangs over the project-fueling rumors that the site is cursed. And she must cope with the presence of her irritating-but irresistible-ex-husband, Jake. Furthermore, when a stranger claims to know a secret about her privileged Boston childhood, she is forced to question her own past as well. <br> <br> A rich, thrilling, suspenseful tale from a "storyteller of immeasurable diversity and talent" (<i>Publishers Weekly</i>), Birthright follows an inspiring heroine, an intriguing hero, and a cast of fascinating characters whose intertwined lives remind us that there is much more going on under the surface than meets the eye. <p>Author Biography: Nora Roberts is the first writer to be inducted into the Romance Writers of America's Hall of Fame.
