Summary
Ancient manuscripts referred to the island as “a trembling sod.” Warring clans, intrigue, assassinations, and a storied affair — this period in Ireland's history was a real-life game of thrones.
In 12th-century Ireland, four rival kings fought ferociously, leaving scorched earth and bloodshed as the Church’s saints tried to intervene. In the end, death and destruction rendered the country unable to defend itself from invaders across the sea. Who were the kings and how did sixty years of desperate wars set in motion the events leading to a divided land? Based on the actual events recorded by monks, this novel tells a compelling story about the most pivotal event in Irish history.
The audiobook features music by Grammy-nominated vocal ensemble VOCES8. If purchasing the audiobook, go to download settings and set to "High Quality" for best listening.
