An Irish Historical Romance
by
Pen
Name: Una
Montgomery
It
is Ireland in the late 1790s. Caroline is the daughter of the late Irish
Chieftain Turlough O'Shaughnessy and is a very
beautiful, strong-willed and spirited young woman. As well as having an
extremely loving and close relationship with her brother Fergal, she meets and
falls in love with the very handsome and dashing Nicholas Arthur Barnsby Marsmain, heir to the Ballinmore estate. However, Nicholas is an officer in the
British Army and therefore an obvious enemy of Fergal, who is working secretly
with Wolfe Tone and the French on their plans for invading Ireland. This leads
inevitably to Caroline being torn between Fergal and Nicholas. However, her
dilemma is made worse when she has a strange, vivid, premonitory dream, which
leaves her in no doubt that one of them will destroy the other someday.
