a truly gripping and vividly told adventure - The Scotsman A FIGHT FOR JUSTICE AND FORBIDDEN LOVE After his latest acts of heroism, Santiago finds himself legally adopted by the rebel chieftain Tadhg Óg MacGlannagh. Santiago's stock has greatly risen amongst the tribe, with his secret ring causing an unforeseen rift amongst the Sassenachs. For the English Viceroy has learned of its existence, accusing his own servants of hiding it from him. A great trial is soon ordered to be held at Dublin, where the Sheriff of Sligo and his allies are accused of inhumanity by their spiteful master. The Sassenachs are also plagued by troubles to the west, where an armed revolt is led by an Irish rebel known as the Blind Abbott. The whole of Connacht is about to burst into flames, with the MacGlannaghs also spurred to violence by their ally and overlord Brian O'Rourke. Amid the growing tumult Santiago risks losing everything, through his forbidden pursuit of the widowed Muireann Mac An Bhaird. The foster daughter of the MacGlannagh, Muireann is the key to dominance in Dartry, with her suitors resolved to destroy any rival to her hand.
