New WWII Historical Novel, "Legends of War," Explores Family Legacy, Love, and the Human Cost of War
A sweeping tale of courage, heritage, and resilience, Legends of War: Sparrow Wars in the Garden of Bliss (A La Barre Family Saga) by C.A. Portnellus offers a powerful exploration of World War II through the eyes of Barton Barre, a young man determined to rise above the shadows of his family's troubled past. Available at major retailers, this richly detailed novel is a must-read for lovers of historical fiction.
Set against the haunting backdrop of World War II, the novel follows Barton from his humble life in Beaumont, Texas, to the battlefields of Europe during Operation Overlord-D-Day. As Barton confronts the terrors of war, he also contends with the long-standing La Barre family curse and the ghost of his father's traumas from World War I. His journey is one of self-discovery, sacrifice, and the timeless quest for meaning amid chaos.
Meanwhile, in Louisiana, Elise Boulanger, Barton's pen pal, wrestles with her heart as she balances deepening feelings for Barton and the emergence of a tempting new romance. Her story serves as a poignant counterpart to Barton's, illustrating the emotional toll of war far from the front lines.
"Through Barton and Elise, Legends of War shines a light on the personal battles waged beyond the battlefield," says Portnellus. "It's a story about how our histories shape us-and how love, legacy, and hope endure even in the darkest moments."
The novel is the second entry in Portnellus' generational saga , Sparrow Wars in the Garden of Bliss , which masterfully blends fiction and historical context. As a dedicated artist, educator, and historian, Portnellus draws upon years of research to craft narratives that speak to the universal ties of family and memory.
