Fictional characters mingle with historical ones, witnessing and taking part in the events leading to the Easter Rising in Ireland. Quite readable, and makes me look forward to reading the remaining books in the series. An easy way to be entertained and learn some history at the same time, but can be read simply for the story, as Llywelyn always seems to tell a good story. Some dialogue seems a bit forced, and events a bit too coincidental, but this can be forgiven; much popular fiction is far worse.
