The first book in Walter Macken's sweeping trilogy, which examines the history and events that fueled the fight for freedom in Ireland through the lens of one Irish family across several generations.

Set amidst the Cromwellian Invasions, Seek the Fair Wind begins in 1641. As the English soldiers trample the Irish homesteads, leaving behind them a trail of barbarity and destruction, a few brave men set out to seek a 'fair land' over the brow of the hill.

Among them is Dominick MacMahon, whose wife has been killed in the bloody massacre of Drogheda, and whose son and daughter, along with a wounded priest, Father Sebastian, accompany him.

But as he journeys in search of peace and freedom he is relentlessly pursued by Coote, the Cromwellian ruler of Connaught.

Complete the trilogy with The Silent People and The Scorching Wind.
