It is 1628, Charles I is on the throne and the British Crown is
finally taking control of Ulster.
Returning to his rooms one night, Alexander Seaton is shocked to
find a stranger standing there - a man who could be his double.
His name is Sean O'Neill and he carries a plea for help from
Maeve O'Neill forbidding matriarch of Alexander's mother's
family in Ireland. All those who bear their blood have been
placed under a curse - one by one they are going to die. Only
Alexander is immune his O'Neill heritage a secret from all but
his closest family.
