The Blood Upon the Rose

Love and Death in Ireland

by Tim Vicary

Dublin, 1919. As Michael Collins orchestrates a shadow war against British rule, Catherine O'Connell-Gort—a medical student caught between her republican convictions and aristocratic family—finds herself entangled with Sean Brennan, a man willing to kill for Ireland's freedom. When a murder pins her to a crime she didn't commit, Catherine must navigate a treacherous landscape of double agents, coded intelligence, and impossible choices, where survival means betraying everyone she loves and her only ally may be the very man sent to destroy her. In this visceral portrait of revolutionary Ireland, no one is innocent and every decision bleeds.
