After Brian Boru is killed at Clontarf, his fifteen-year-old son Donough inherits a famous name but not an uncontested throne. Ireland’s provincial kings resume their rivalries, Brian’s surviving sons compete over succession, and Donough’s mother Gormlaith continues to pursue power through alliances that place her children against one another.
Determined to recover the authority his father created, Donough must learn that lineage and courage are not enough to command a divided country. The novel follows the political and military aftermath of Clontarf, tracing the collapse of Brian’s settlement through fraternal rivalry, shifting loyalties and the ambitions of a young man trying to equal a legacy that may be impossible to preserve.
