Lord of Vengeance

By MN Stroh

Description:

Ireland 968 AD
Their reputations tainted, Gideon mac Davan and his betrothed, Nessa, stand little chance of swaying their clansmen alone. Loyalties come into question when Gideon stands before the Dal Cais assembly under charges meant to strip him of nobility.
Questionable ally, Brendan of Desmond, intervenes on their behalf, freeing them to make their life together. But Brendan is not all he seems. Once his schemes intent on thwarting the enemies of Mumhain’s king unfold, separate destructive paths sweep them away.
As a Brehon, Brendan has a strong sense of justice but an even stronger thirst for vengeance. Finally, the spun threads of his secret plans perfectly weave together. But one helpless slave can unravel everything. Her troubled past connects everyone in a single knotted cord. Untangling that strand may lead to everyone’s undoing.

Book Takeaway:

Relationships cannot be built upon dishonesty and the ends do not always justify the means.

Why the author wrote this book:

Lord of Vengeance is the sequel to Rise of Betrayal and book 3 in the ongoing saga of Tale of the Clans.
