“From the first line, Weber captivates the reader.” – The Historical Fiction Company
Quin and Alannah have overcome obstacles and endured heartache, but their biggest challenge is yet to come. It's 1845 and Ireland is plagued with unrest when the unthinkable happens – the potato harvest on which most Irish peasants depend fails.
With their livelihoods destroyed, thousands are left desperate for food, making unease and fear ripple across the land; and with the response of the British government inadequate, hunger and disease soon follow. Now it’s up to Quin and Alannah to save the people living on their estate.
But all the while, danger lurks from other quarters, as Quin delves into mysteries from his past, incurring the wrath of powerful enemies.
Join Quin and Alannah on their journey, as love and loyalty are put to the test in a myth-shrouded land.
