The Noblest Share of Earth

In the far north of Ireland lies a peninsula, Inishowen, renowned for its beauty, revered for its rich, fertile, and vital lands, and coveted by many for its strategic location. The marriage of the young clan chieftain to an English Viscount’s daughter creates an alliance meant to secure and strengthen Inishowen’s future. But greater powers on all sides-greedy chieftains of larger clans, foreign adventurers seeking land, and English planters determined to displace the Irish-cast ever-growing threats upon the hopes and dreams of the young couple. Nothing is certain. Survival no longer depends on muskets, swords, or the might of a single bold hero, but on something untried-something cunning, inventive, and in the end, utterly relentless.

Based on the true story of Sir Cahir O’Doherty of County Donegal, his wife Maire Preston of County Meath, and his rebellion against the English in 1608.
