For eight hundred years Ireland has made numerous bids for her freedom but now, at last, liberation from British rule is tantalisingly close, if the men and women of the revolution can just hold on. Harp, her family, and her friends find themselves in the thick of the fight, but the Crown Forces are not the only enemy. A sinister force from the past is lurking and will stop at nothing to exact his revenge"--
Autorenporträt
Jean Grainger is a USA Today bestselling author from Cork, Ireland. She writes engaging and intriguing Irish historical fiction as well as heart-warming contemporary novels frequently found on the Amazon bestseller lists. Her style has been compared to the late great Maeve Binchy, of whom she was a huge fan. Before writing she was a tour guide of her beloved Ireland, a history lecturer at a university and a teacher at a secondary school. (She also tried selling things but the less said about that the better). She loved all of those careers but has finally opted for spending most of every day in pyjamas making things up, surrounded by empty tea cups and crumbs. She lives in an Irish stone cottage and is married to a lovely fella altogether, has four magnificent children, and two micro-dogs that are cute but clueless.
