LOVE AND LOYALTY Fierce, proud, spoiling for a fight, and going wherever the fortunes of war called him, Kentigern MacNiall was a rebel and son of a rebel. With his family's deposition as chiefs of the clan O'Darrell, and himslef a hunted animal on the run, Kentigern had two burning ambitions: to regain his lost heritage as chieftain, and to marry O'Darrell's beautiful and capricious daughter, Aine. But Kentigern was to be thwarted on both scores by his half brother, handsome Fineen Ban, who wanted both his place in the clan, and Aine. And then King Richard II invaded Ireland, and the rebellion with the clan took second place to survival. But Kentigern and Fineen would meet again and again, dueling over affairs of state, and affairs of the heart. For no matter what happened to Ireland, Aine would still have to make a choice between the two brothers. Ireland in 1389 was a land torn by political intrigue, a time when the Irish clans battled resident Normans, the English, the invading armies of Richard II - and each other. But through it all there were romantic interludes, interwoven with the ruthlessness of war, when brother fought brother, clan fought clan, and love fought side by side with loyalty.
