Ireland 1652: In the desperate, final days of the English invasion . . .
A fey young woman, ine Callaghan, is the sole survivor of an attack by English marauders. When Irish soldier Niall O'Coneill discovers his own kin slaughtered in the same massacre, he vows to hunt down the men responsible. He takes ine under his protection and together they reach the safety of an encampment held by the Irish forces in Tipperary.
Hardly a safe haven, the camp is rife with danger and intrigue. ine is a stranger with the old stories stirring on her tongue and rumours follow her everywhere. The English cut off support to the brigade, and a traitor undermines the Irish cause, turning Niall from hunter to hunted.
When someone from ine's past arrives, her secrets boil to the surface-and she must slay her demons once and for all.
As the web of violence and treachery grows, ine and Niall find solace in each other's arms-but can their love survive long-buried secrets and the darkness of vengeance?
