The Kings in Winter — Cecelia Holland

VENGEANCE AND WAR

Medieval Ireland is the vivid setting for this story of one of the most memorable heroes in historical fiction.

Muirtagh, chief of the o Cullinane clan, is a peace-loving man. He wants to end the blood feud with the mac Mahon family that had nearly destroyed his people some twenty years before. But the shameful murder of his brother revives the ancient fury. And when the Irish King refuses satisfaction, an embittered Muirtagh joins the marauding Danes in battle against his own countrymen.
