It is May, 1798, and Ireland is a country at war.
One hundred thousand peasants have risen up against the Crown to the tales of men, women and children butchered as traitors. It is whispered that the feared and despised ghosts of Oliver Cromwell’s New Model army have returned seeking bloodshed, and no one is safe.
Major Lorn Mullone, a man forged by war and torn by past failures, is sent by the government to apprehend Colonel Black, a dangerous and shadowy figure, who is harming the fragile peace talks with his own murderous retribution.
In a race against time, Lorn must journey across a country riven by fighting, where at the walled town of New Ross, he discovers a new horror.
In the desperate battle for peace, Lorn must survive for the sake of Ireland's future.
Peace is fragile. Bloodshed is certain.
Read LIBERTY OR DEATH, the first novella in the exciting historical series, The Soldier Chronicles.

The General's Daughter
Just seventeen, Keira is not eager to decide the rest of her life, but as usual, she will not have much choice. She has always known she would have to marry - and well, but as the deadline nears, she begins to feel more and more suffocated. It doesn't help that most of her prospects are tedious, arrogant, sometimes entirely revolting, and only interested in using her for some advantage with her father. The only man she can stomach the thought of accepting, also offers the most terrifying future - as royalty. Keira loves Alex, but not romantically, and she doesn't believe she ever will. Not that it keeps him from trying to convince her otherwise....But if it was possible, would love make the rest of it bearable? Especially considering her alternatives? Just as she begins to allow herself to believe in the possibility of a romantic future, someone sets out to destroy it all. When Keira is kidnapped, she realizes just how much she has taken for granted - Alex included. She must find a way to rescue herself and make it home to spoil her abductors' plans. Unfortunately she doesn't know how to get home or even how far it might be. She has no food, no supplies, and no idea how to survive on her own. And asking the wrong person for help could be disastrous. (Sequel to Keira's Fire & Daughter of the Rebellion)Lengkap

She has no idea where she's headed or what will happen to her once she arrives, and she's terrified of finding out. Will she even survive? Did her family survive when they tried to defend her? Will she ever see them again if they're all lucky enough to stay alive? One man will determine her fate and if he's anything like the others, Cecily is positive that will mean nothing good for her.

The Nationalists.
The Nationalists. An epic story of love, loyalty, and rebellion in a nation on the brink of freedom. Against the backdrop of the 1916 Easter Rising, the Irish War of Independence, and the Civil War that followed, The Nationalists tells a sweeping tale of courage, heartbreak, and the struggle for Ireland's soul. When Tony McAnthony meets the passionate Angela O'Sullivan in Dublin's GPO during the Rising, their fates are forever entwined. Imprisoned after the rebellion, Tony must fight not only for Ireland but for the woman he loves. His resolve is tested when Lucy, Angela's best friend, suffers brutal violence at the hands of the Black and Tans, forcing Tony to choose between the pen and the gun, ideals and vengeance. As Ireland fractures, Angela, strong-willed and independent, chooses her own path, and the two are drawn together and torn apart by loyalty, loss, and love. Meanwhile, Father John Troy, a priest caught between conscience and obedience, faces Rome's wrath for aiding the rebels, embodying the moral turmoil of a country at war with itself. From Dublin to Kerry, Wales, and London, The Nationalists weaves together real and fictional characters-such as Eamon de Valera, Michael Collins, and others-into a vivid portrayal of revolution, culture, and identity. Everyone has changed. Nobody escapes unscathed. Has been translated into various languages, including Irish. Described as "capturing the heart of the nation," The Nationalists also includes the award-winning short story "The Pitboys," recently adapted for the stage and winner of Best Stage Play at the Tokyo Film and Screenwriting Awards, a powerful companion piece exploring rebellion and the price of freedom.Lengkap

One Sin
Nobody knows his real name. The world knows him only as Asra - and the world is afraid. In a Republic built not on crowns but on money, fear, and seven unseen families who own everything from the armies to the gods, Asra is the thing they never planned for: someone with nothing left to lose. For generations, Aurevia has lived in the shadow of their greed - its mines stripped, its people silenced, its crown reduced to a puppet's ornament. The world calls it peace. Those who remember call it slavery with better manners. Now Asra is dismantling it all. Piece by piece. Leaking secrets, igniting markets, turning the power of the seven against themselves. The world calls him a terrorist. But those who've lost everything see him as something else entirely: a reckoning long overdue. Far from the eyes of governments and kings - in lecture halls and back alleys, in midnight boardrooms and burning cities - a war is being rewritten. Not for freedom. For vengeance. Because in a world built on sin, it only takes one to bring it all down.![[COMPLETED] The Vixen and The Thief](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/221410996-256-k268171.jpg)

The Forgotten Ones (A Completed Steamy, Historical Romance)
We know a lot about the American Civil War. We know about the battle at Gettysburg and how Sherman burned Atlanta but do you know many individual stories? Follow Oliver and Naomi from their arranged marriage through the war. It will be quite a journey as Naomi faces the war home alone and Oliver fights battle after battle. She will face one of the cruelest band of the southern militia army as she tries to protect the people she loves most. This is a story about the ones left home during the war. The one's who earned no great merit or place in history. The forgotten heroes of a bloody war that stood for freedom and equality for all Americans. I based some of facts in the story on writings left behind by my family that lived here in Indiana in the 1860s. My ancestors were Quaker and they were abolitionists in Indiana. We still have their homes used in the underground railroad in our family. My other side was endangered servants from Ireland and my great-great-grandfather was, unfortunately, one of the soldiers that came to Indiana while serving under John Hunt Morgan. He was the rest of my family's enemy. https://www.wattpad.com/646167251-the-forgotten-ones-a-completed-steamy-historical Please keep in mind this story is based in America during the 1860s and it was a different time.
