A forbidden love may turn one band’s mission for alliance toward division.

Ireland 969 AD

Svava struggles to adapt to life reunited with her estranged siblings. Raised by Danes, she sees her Irish family as the true foreigners. Brehon by trade, spy by choice, Brendan of Desmond leads a double life intent to bring about his treacherous uncle’s downfall.

Ostracized and heartsick, only stony Brendan understands Svava’s longings. Yet her brother means to rend him from her as well.

Under the watchful eye of his uncle’s enemies, Brendon must aid the Dal Cais in hunting down a friend and fellow spy. Refusal will prove his disloyalty. Acquiescence may cost his vengeful plot.

Committed to their false mission, will Svava and Brendan find a way to resolve the treacherous divisions amidst their band, or will their forbidden love cost the mission and more?
