The O'Briens of Dromoland have long been pillars of County Clare-nobility with deep roots, fierce loyalty, and a legacy that spans generations...
For Laoise Hogan, raised as a ward within the castle's ancient walls, the O'Briens are the only family she has ever known. Sir Lucius O'Brien has been her protector, her guardian, her guiding light. But the scars of famine still mark the land, and rebellion threatens the Crown. The O'Brien name itself is entangled in dangerous politics-and Laoise's sheltered world is about to unravel.
When Phelan McCrohan enters her life-a young medical student with revolutionary ideas and a heart that calls to hers-Laoise finds herself caught between duty and desire. Loving him could cost her everything: her place in the O'Brien household, her reputation, perhaps even her future. As history reshapes Ireland, Laoise and Phelan must fight for a love that defies expectation-and discover what it truly means to belong.
A sweeping historical romance set against the turmoil of 1848 Ireland. Perfect for fans of Jean Grainger and Tricia O'Malley.

Stacey Reynolds started writing her first novel, _Raven of the Sea_, in 2015. She was inspired by the beautiful villages of Ireland's west coast--the traditional music, the architecture, the lighthouses, and crumbling ruins. It lit a spark in her that would smolder for years until she was ready. She was a military wife and mother of 5. With a special needs child at home, she began writing at the public library during her son's therapy sessions. Before she married an officer in the Marines, she was a police officer. Her experience in law enforcement aids her in writing from the perspective of a first responder. It also helps with the procedural aspects of some of her stories. She loves what she does. She finds inspiration through traveling, reading, art, and music. She tries to write with the honest and often raw emotions that come from loving and losing.
