In the Irish Brigade

A Tale of War in Flanders and Spain

Young Irishman Desmond Kennedy joins the Irish Brigade in the service of Louis XIV of France, seeking a soldier’s career amid the wars of early eighteenth-century Europe. When he rescues a kidnapped young woman in Paris, he earns the enmity of a powerful courtier and becomes entangled in dangerous intrigues. From a failed expedition to Scotland to campaigns in Flanders and Spain, Desmond faces captivity, assassination attempts, and desperate escapes.
