This historical romance follows Ailis O’Neill, an unconventional young woman in Dublin society who teaches English to Gaelic peasants and has a passion for painting local wildlife. Her strong feelings against the English partisans are particularly directed at Lord Clane, a man with a hidden past as An Cu, a highwayman known for stealing from the British to aid the Irish poor.
