Summary

As the son of a great Irish warrior, Faolán Burke should have inherited vast lands and the Castle Glencurragh. But tensions grow in 1634 Ireland, as English plantation systems consume traditional clan properties and Irish families are made homeless. Encountering the beautiful heiress, Vivienne Fitzgerald, Faolán believes they must marry and together restore his stolen heritage. But, because the Earl of Cork protects her, abduction seems to be his only option. Aengus O'Daly narrates as he and the brothers Barry help Faolán to capture Vivienne and hasten to the Earl of Barrymore who will negotiate the marriage settlement. But Vivienne has a mind of her own, and the adventure that began as a lark takes a dark turn. Faolán lands in the crossfire between the four most powerful men in Ireland--the earls of Clanricarde, Cork, Ormonde, and the aggressive new Lord Deputy of Ireland, Thomas Wentworth--who use people like game pieces for benefit or profit. With events now beyond their control, will Faolán and Vivienne realize the dream of Glencurragh?
