The Blood Upon the Rose

The dramatic saga begun in Eirelan and continued in In the Bleak Midwinter now reaches its gripping climax. The war with the Germans of Norfrieland has broken out in all its fury. Tralee and Dublin have been seized by the enemy. Norfrieland’s armies threaten to overrun the Province, Wales, and Kernow, while its formidable professional navy pits its might against the combined naval fleets of the Province, Kernow, and new ally Santander. Aideen and Conor’s victorious seaborne assault on Norfrieland’s capital city of Hüsum left enemy dockyards aflame and set free hundreds of Celtic prisoners. But it was a victory at great cost. With the fleet at sea and sailing for home, Conor discovered that Sean Osraige, serving as a translator, was not aboard Richard’s warship. The Province’s finest scholar—and Feth’s betrothed—was missing ashore and might already be dead. Now Aideen and Conor are leading an invasion fleet to rescue Sean … and bring down the Norfrielander state. The Blood Upon the Rose continues the thrilling tale of the Latter Day Celts’ struggle to survive, in a distant future where courage, love and honor are all that stand between civilization and destruction.
