Bad Blood by C R Dempsey

What would you do to save your clan?

Ireland 1585. The country is in chaos and the land burns. After years of encroaching on the Maguire clan's lands, the English crown overthrows their clan neighbours and has their sights firmly set on toppling the Maguires.

After years spent as a hostage of the Maguire clan leader in Enniskillen to ensure his father's loyalty, Eunan Maguire returns home to persuade his father to pledge for the leader of the clan. He is deeply troubled as to why his father gave him up as a hostage so easily. After his return, the English raid the village and his parents are killed in mysterious circumstances. While fleeing his burning village, he meets Seamus Mac Sheehy a grizzled warrior and sworn enemy of the English. With Seamus' guidance, goes to the election of the new leader of the Maguire clan to claim his father's voting rights. He sets out to ingratiate himself with the new Maguire chieftain and to become a leader in the fight against the crown. But all is not well, for Eunan is tormented by his past and Seamus is not all he appears to be. When the English finally invade his homeland, Eunan is called to fight.

Will Eunan discover the secret behind his parents' death? Will Eunan discover who Seamus MacSheehy really is and why he has taken such an interest in him? Can Eunan overcome his past and save his clan from the English onslaught?
