Description

In 1509, in the kingdom of the Burren, people lived according to the ancient customs and Brehon laws of their ancestors. When the steward of the MacNamara clan is found dead in the local churchyard, it is questioned whether it was revenge, greed or something more sinister which led to his murder. It is up to Mara to investigate.

Description

1509: For the people of the Burren, the Michaelmas Fair is a joyous time. A chance to buy and sell their wares and pay tribute to the lord of their clans. But this year, the steward of the MacNamara clan has decided to raise the tribute and it's not long before tempers are running high. When the steward's body is found in the local churchyard, it falls upon Mara, the Brehon Judge, to piece the puzzle together. When another body is discovered - allegedly suicide - Mara is not convinced. It is up to her to bring the killer to justice before they can strike again.
