Overview
Second historical thriller in the Alexander Seaton series sweeps the hero back to his roots in Ulster, and a family living under a curse and riven with long-held secrets
It is 1628, Charles 1 is on the throne, and the British Crown is finally taking control of Ulster.
Returning to his rooms one night, Alexander Seaton is shocked to find a stranger standing there - a man who could be his double. His name is Sean O''Neill, and he carries a plea for help from Maeve O''Neill, forbidding matriarch of Alexander''s mother''s family in Ireland. All those who bear their blood have been placed under a poet''s curse: one by one they are going to die. Only Alexander is immune, his O''Neill heritage a secret from all but his closest family.
Alexander travels to Ulster, to find himself at the heart of a family divided by secrets and bitter resentments. As he seeks out the author of the curse, he becomes increasingly embroiled in the conflict until - confronted with murder within his own family - his liberty and, finally, his life, are at stake.
