Sapinetiae Maconough has it all: English blood, a man who irrevocably loves her, children who run wild, free and fair across the deep, Irish planes. And also, a venomous secret that runs deep into generations come and gone, embedded deep in their roots, wages war against their very peaceful existence. The skies - bright and radiant with their joy and peace - darkens as disaster looms untamed and relentless; necessitating and then calling upon the blood of loved ones. Bringing upon them the dawn of a day when blood is just not enough price to pay, as the Maconoughs fight to either live - or die.
