John Wesley Hawkins, condemned to hang for treason and heresy, is whisked from the scaffold at Tyburn by the Lord Protector, who offers him a last chance to escape death if he undertakes a covert mission in Ireland. Hawkins must travel into the Irish resistance and uncover their secrets by winning the confidence of Caitlin MacBride, the mistress of the beleaguered Clonmuir Castle. Caitlin is fiercely loyal to her people and intends to remain strong for her cause, yet a longing for true love leads her to a fateful encounter on a sunset night. When Wesley emerges from the mist that evening, Caitlin briefly restores her faith in Ireland’s magic—only to realize later that he is one of the Englishmen she has fought against.
