But for Luke, the ultimate dilemma is heart-wrenchingly personal: a choice between the allure of a peaceful happiness and the compelling call of heroics.

  • Legacy

    I’m very much enthusiastic to tell you about this book because it’s totally my jam. I read it quickly, but also not. I don’t know if you’re like this, but when there’s a book I really like, I equally don’t want to stop reading but also don’t want to keep reading because then it will be over soon. Now let’s get this straight right now. This book is a fast-paced, interesting story that has some good twists and turns. It has some great characters, flawed and believable, with fun elements and awesome mythology to it that adds interest and depth. Now I have to stop so that I do not give away the story.

    This is a story about Luke Hart, a normal, everyday guy heading off to college with McKenna Parker, his best friend, and one true love. While at school Luke encounters an inconspicuous world, unlike anything he has experienced before. The world of Legacy, an institution that has been thriving since the decline of the Roman empire. Becoming engaged in Legacy, Luke later finds out that he is a Bloodborn. It means he is a warrior whose bloodline traces back to one of the legends. While finding a home in Legacy, Luke begins his transformation from a seemingly normal guy into a God, But the closer Luke gets to his fulfilling his destiny, the more he puts his and McKenna's lives in danger.

    If you are looking for a book that has a good plot, great twist, with a dose of romance and action, this book is for you. It was heavy on mythology with plenty of metaphorical narratives showing the reader how Legacy surpasses through time. I loved the plot along with the whole concept of Legacy and its bloodborn descendants of ancient historical warriors. The book is very well-written. I love books that do a good job with changing perspectives each chapter, and this is one of those books. I feel like I am able to connect to the characters. Costner did such a great job with the storyline. I’m really glad I read this book. I found it insightful, interesting, and well-written. I definitely understand why it has gotten the recognition it deserves. I will for sure recommend it to people who are looking for something complex and interesting to read.

  • From Beginning To End This Book Is Hands Down Incredible. There Is ...

    From beginning to end this book is hands down incredible. There is no way you can put it down as soon as you start reading it. The characters make you feel as if you are experiencing what they are. The author in my opinion is so in touch with his characters that they jump off the page. The descriptions of each scene is amazing and extremely vivid. I loved every part of this book and cannot wait for the second one to come out.

J Leonard Costner

Author

Born in America but shaped by Europe, J Leonard Costner’s life has been as varied and vibrant as the characters in his novels. An artist by trade and a former athlete, Costner infuses his unique experiences and perspectives into every page he writes.

Raised across the grand tapestry of Europe, Costner grew up amidst an array of cultures, languages, and histories that would later breathe life into his stories. His upbringing gave him an appreciation for the rich complexities of people and places—an appreciation that shines through in his work.

Transitioning from a celebrated career in sports, Costner found his next calling in 2012: storytelling. His debut series, "Legacy", is a testament to his boundless creativity. Intricately weaving history with fantasy, and reality with myth, Costner’s works are as much a vivid painting as they are compelling narratives. His words aren’t just read; they are experienced. Each chapter, a stroke of paint on a grand canvas.

Costner’s writing style is as unique as his life journey. With an academic background in art, he writes to illustrate—each sentence crafted not just to tell a story, but to show it. He shapes each scene with the meticulous care of a painter, choosing his words with the precision of a brushstroke.

In "Legacy", and in all of his works, Costner invites readers not just into a story, but into a world. A world that is at once enchanting and believable, vast in scope but intimate in emotion.

Today, J Leonard Costner continues to write, each new work a labor of love, a new landscape painted with words. He is not just an author, but an artist of narrative, a craftsman of worlds, and a guide for readers looking for an adventure that defies the ordinary.
