John Wesley Hawkins was condemned to hang for treason and heresy, but the Lord Protector offers mercy if Wesley agrees to travel to Ireland on a dangerous mission into the heart of the Irish resistance.

And when Wesley walks out of the mist that fateful night, Caitlin MacBride's faith in the magic of Ireland is briefly restored. -- from the publisher.
