Maire

IN AN AGE OF DARKNESS COMES A FLAME THAT WILL CHANGE THE ISLE OF ERIN AND HER PEOPLE FOREVER...

Ireland. During the Fifth Century. An ancient land of timeless mystery where—in the age of patron saints—the spark of Christianity spreads like wildfire among kings, scholars, and peasants alike. And nowhere is the impact greater than among the druids, as the light of Christ divides- those seeking truth from those seeking power.

Against this backdrop of passion and change, two warriors stand firm: Rowan of Emrys, reformed mercenary, leader of his tribe; and Maire, warrior queen of Gleannmara.
Sold into slavery as a child by his own brother, Rowan now fights the inward desire for revenge. But this battle-hardened soldier has given his sword and his allegiance to the one God, and even stronger than the lust for vengeance is his determination to let this God have His way with him...even if it costs him his very life.

Maire considers fighting on the battlefield simplicity itself when compared to understanding the man she has taken as hostage and husband! What manner of God would make such a fine warrior into a coward? Yet she cannot deny the truth in what Rowan has claimed since the day they met: that meekness and humility to his God are stronger than any blade of steel.

When they finally join together, lifting their swords to unite their squabbling tribes against the evil druid, Morlach, and his corrupt forces of darkness, they discover the cost—and joy—of following the one true God and His Christ.
