Set in 1790, A Cruel Harvest tells the epic tale of Orlaith and
Brannon, young lovers whose futures are jeopardized when Moorish pirates
raid their Irish fishing village. Orlaith and her infant son manage to
escape the savage attack, but Brannon is captured. Thrown into the hold
of the pirates' ship, the young farmer is spirited away to the harsh
confines of North Africa. There he is sold into slavery and forced to
serve in the army of the sadistic Sultan of Morocco. Back in Ireland, a
heartbroken Orlaith faces certain ruin unless she agrees to marry
wealthy landowner Randall Whitely. But Whitely is a cruel man, and life
with him quickly becomes a waking nightmare. Though separated by
thousands of miles, Orlaith and Brannon draw on their great love to
challenge the oppression of the tyrants keeping them apart. Stretching
from the windswept coast of Ireland to the sunbaked hills of Morocco, A
Cruel Harvest is a thrilling novel of adventure, survival, and
once-in-a-lifetime love.
