Lord Of Black Castle (Lords Of Eire) - 9781961275263

Welcome to the wilds of Medieval Ireland... 1323 A.D. - Devlin de Bermingham, an Irish knight to the core, is the bastard son of the Earl of Louth and the descendant of Irish kings. He is also a strong proponent that the Irish should rule Irish lands. Rebelling against his English overlord, the Earl of Kildare, he captures one of Kildare's castles south of Wicklow. Known as Black Sword, a rebel who is both admired and feared, Devlin has set the events in motion for an enormous Irish revolt. Every Norman settlement in Ireland is at risk because of Black Sword's actions and the stage is set. The Lady Emllyn Fitzgerald is the sister of the Earl of Kildare. When her brother sends his fleet to quell the uprising on his lands, she stows away on one of the vessels in order to follow the object of her affection, a strong young English knight sworn to her brother, into battle. It is her intention to prove to the man she is worthy and brave enough to be his wife, but she truly has no grasp of her folly. As the English fleet makes landfall along the Wicklow coast, disaster strikes - Black Sword and his army of Irish rebels are waiting for them. In a devastating night of blood and mayhem, the English armada is destroyed and Lady Emllyn is taken a prize. Join Devlin and Emllyn as they embark upon a journey of a lifetime where both will face their growing feelings for one another in a world that would see them torn apart. Note to readers: This novel was originally published as Black Sword, but it has been significantly rewritten and revised because of the brutal nature of the original opening chapters. Given the circumstances at the time and at the period in history, brutality towards women was considered conquest and victory. Understanding and forgiveness are still a key element of this novel, but be advised that the traumatic abuse of the original opening has been removed or softened for contemporary audiences.
