A Land Without Wolves - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

From the award-winning Irish poet and playwright, Daniel Wade, comes a historical fiction exploring the dark underworld of 18th century Ireland, set against the backdrop of the 1798 rebellion.

A LAND WITHOUT WOLVES

In the midst of Rebellion are legends wrought, and Mogue Trench knows of a tale never told. What better time to relay it than as the rope awaits...

The Highwayman Joseph Mac Tíre knows of hardship - at the hands of Redcoats and Republicans alike - so Ireland's political struggle has less appeal than mentoring an orphan in the ways of the underworld.

Yet the world has a way of catching up to men whose hearts know only darkness - men who hunt, and kill, and howl in rage.

But sooner or later, they howl no more.

• “...instantly enjoyable...an immersive experience...[t]he phraseology is constantly beguiling...an extraordinary debut from a contemporary writer...” Peter O'Neill, Poet, Translator, Editor, & Critic
• “...a compelling way to present a period of Irish history filled with darkness and heartbreak; MacTíre [is] a constantly engaging persona...a character who refuses the call of both sides...” RF 5-Star Review
