Description
"An epic tale of feminine heroism, patriotism, and a touch of romance...This page-turner is a must for historical fiction fans."–Booklist
“The legendary Karen Robards brings her formidable talents to bear in The Moonlight Runner, an epic tale of love and female heroism.” –Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author of Last Twilight in Paris
A young Irish woman risks everything for her country in this sweeping story of love, bravery and the relentless pursuit of freedom from New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards.
Rynn Carmichael is suddenly pulled into the Irish rebellion when Donal O’Reilly, the boy she has loved for most of her life, takes up gunrunning in support of the rebellion.
Raised in a small Irish village on the shores of Donegal Bay, Rynn is working as a nurse in a convalescent home when she overhears a British officer gloating over the trap that has been set for IRA members bringing a boat full of smuggled arms ashore. Knowing that Donal must be involved, she rushes out at midnight to warn the incoming boat, only to find herself caught up in a terrifying and tragic series of events that take her from the glittering ballrooms of London to the narrow back alleys of Dublin as she and those she loves fight for their lives and their country.
