About This Book
Cian Uí Briúin, King of Connacht, has long known he’s destined to combine forces with a woman from another era. One who will help him keep Ireland’s history on track. Save his people from tyranny and ruin. What he does not expect is being called home to fight an enemy king before meeting her. Nor that she will help him save his country from across time regardless. A selfless act that tests his resolve from the beginning not to care for her too This is a short story that sets the stage for The MacLomain Irish Roots.
