ISBN: 9781036924614
It's a scorching summer in 1798, and rebellion erupts in Ireland. Elizabeth Downey watches as her husband goes to war and fears the dreadful consequences and certain revenge that will be exacted by the King's men. Nellie Crawford hears the screams of her elderly husband and granddaughter when rebels assail their home in Kildare Town, near the Curragh Plains. Dennis Downey leads his men to death, while Roger McGarry the rebel leader, after initial success, realizes the rebellion is going out with the tide and makes his plans to avoid the gallows.
Hopes of surrendering under peace terms already granted by Lord Dundas to the Kilcullen United Irishmen, sees the concentration of rebels at their camp prepare to lay down their arms in exchange for a letter protecting them from retribution… obliviously unaware heading their way at haste is a determined officer accompanied by dragoons with a fierce bloodlust throbbing in their veins; boiling for revenge…
