Lliam watched the arrival of the boat from Fortress Hill. The messenger said that one of his three brothers was dead, another badly burned. Whoever was dead, and whoever maimed for life, his life had been altered, his simple plan destroyed. Lliam's only hope was redemption by reclaiming his lost love.Lliam Dwyer had come home with a secret and a longing. He had left the outport as a raw young man, afraid of his desire for Breeze O'Keefe. Lliam had returned to claim Breeze, to take her away from her island prison to a better life in Boston. But six years is a long time time to leave a beautiful young woman at the mercy of desperate men who treat women no better than they would a cod fish.He had found a grown up Breeze cold and distant, betrothed to his older brother, Gerald. If Gerald's dead there is hope...He started reluctantly down the hill to meet the boat, every step a descent into a suffocating dungeon. He was free to flee, but could not. Each step pounded in his brain as he watched the boat approach the wharf. Each pull of the sweeps brought the skiff closer. If Gerald is dead will Breeze be free? Or is Breeze condemned for life? Is he bound to stay, oath or not? What is the curse Breeze alluded to? When he was a child he heard the whispers about his family and about the Sheens, families that were not families and children that were bastards. Tails were told about Old Man Dwyer, his grandfather, a wandering sailor and philanderer. His own father, Malich, was not his paternal father. There were whispers of mysterious peregrinations to other islands and deeds of murder committed by insane Sheens and desperate Sheens. And curses freely given and dearly paid for. Step by step Lliam was descending into his own sordid heritage. He had also fled Fogo Island to be free of the whispers, to run from his father, to escape the truth. There were so many reasons to leave and as many reasons to return...

Paris 1963. Christian Joyce has left Scotland and Meghan, travelling from Antwerp to Paris on a barge loaded with plutonium for the French government. The Paris Winter of '63 affected most of Northern Europe. It is estimated that 50,000 French citizens died as a result of the most severe winter conditions ever recorded, and yet, most people in the modern world would shrug if asked about the events of December 1962 to March 1963. Few would recall that France detonated two nuclear bombs in March '63, or that the Russians backed down from a nuclear confrontation with America between October and December 1962. By the spring of '63 Parisian life had returned to normal in the City of Lights. Christian and Renée survived Paris and a harrowing barge trip to the Mediterranean. They settled on Malta, exchanging winter conditions for a climate more conducive to sunbathing on beaches than huddling in a freezing garret, but as Malta heated up in the summer of '63, the world slipped further into fear and anarchy. The horrors of a nuclear winter and annihilation gave way to civil unrest, demonstrations and the fear of Communist inspired anarchy. But illicit drugs and poverty would eventually replace anarchy as the demon threatening the masses. Christian and Renée faced all of those, as well as radiation poisoning and being hunted by several governments.
