This masterful novel tells the story of a man who suffers exile through fighting for the future of his people. In doing so, he sacrifices love, and a life of privilege and ease.
A leader of the Young Ireland rebellion of 1848, Robert Devereaux is an Irish gentleman who is prepared to hazard a life of privilege in the fight for his country's freedom. Transported to Van Diemen's land as a political prisoner, he enters a life that greatly changes him, falling in love with a young Irish convict woman, and through her coming to know the people he's long romanticised. But his cause, and the life he has lost, will not let him go.
