About this ebook
The second in an action-packed medieval adventure series featuring Irish Knight Templar, Richard Savage. When Savage's nemesis abducts his daughter, the knight must return to a homeland devastated by war where a wrong move means certain death.
1316 AD. Ireland has been drawn into the bitter war between Scotland and England. Richard Savage thought he had left the war behind, but arch enemy Edward Bruce won't let him just walk away. Bruce wants the return of what Savage stole from him, and to force his foe's return, Bruce takes what is most dear to Savage: his daughter Galiene.
To rescue her, Savage must voyage back to an Ireland devastated by war and decimated by famine, where Scottish invaders ravage the countryside. Soon, Savage's personal mission becomes entangled with the battles tearing Ireland apart, and he finds himself on a final, desperate raid.
This is his only chance to save his daughter and turn the tide of war in Ireland's favour – and he's not going to waste it...
