The Ancestor by Danielle Trussoni

Imagine a young woman gripped in misery over several miscarriages and a failing marriage who learns that she is the last surviving heir to a North Italian remote castle and fortune. She is the last of the Montebianco family who carved out an existence in the harsh landscape of the Italian Alps. After arriving she learns much more about what she has gotten herself into, her heritage and how she will be the key to the survival of a hidden group of people. Combining a bit of the unusual myths about Yeti and Ice Men with a traditional Gothic romance storyline, THE ANCESTOR straddles historical fiction with an age-old mystery. This book will have you looking much closer to your results from Ancestry.com or 23 and Me. Illuminating and mysterious this is an unusual shift away from your typical Gothic mystery story. Fans of THE HISTORIAN, A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES or tales of old European family trees will enjoy this book.
