Description
Set against the tumultuous backdrop of 19th-century rural Ireland, Colonel Clay Fitzgerald finds himself at the forefront of a brewing storm. Having escaped the devastation of the American Civil War, he arrives in Ireland to claim his uncle's estate, only to discover that the country is plunged into its own civil war.
The struggle between wealthy landlords and impoverished tenant farmers is intensifying, and Clay is torn between his desire to avoid conflict and his outrage at the atrocities being perpetrated by those in power. As a legendary night-riding outlaw, he joins the fight against the landlords, sparking a rebellion that will change the course of history.
A gripping tale of adventure, action, and social justice, Pay the Devil is a heart-pounding story of one man's quest for justice in the face of overwhelming odds.
