'An adventure story that is both exciting and moving' - The Times
1649. As English soldiers trample Irish homesteads, leaving behind them a trail of barbarity and destruction, a few brave men set out to seek a 'fair land' over the brow of the hill. Among them is Dominick MacMahon, whose wife has been killed in the bloody massacre of Drogheda, and whose son and daughter accompany him, along with a wounded priest, Father Sebastian. But as Dominick journeys in search of peace and freedom, he is relentlessly pursued by Coote, the Cromwellian ruler of Connaught . . . Seek the Fair Land is the first adventurous and skilfully told story in Walter Macken's famous Irish Trilogy, which shows the resilience and fortitude of everyday citizens during the Cromwellian conquest. 'The long tale of terror and bravery . . . is told with the deftness of a professional storyteller' - Irish PressAuthor Biography
