Learn moreSet 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 piratesโ 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.
Born and raised in Cork in the south of Ireland, Paul Reid has spent years trawling the Irish coast, searching out its history and lore. A former musician who also spent time in Australia working as a ranch hand in the Outback, Reid developed a love for story-telling while still very young. A Cruel Harvest is Reidโs first novel and marries his fascination with the tales of his homeland with his love of imagination. He lives on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in Cork Harbour.
Reviews
“The characters are memorable, the suspense is visceral, and the swashbuckling set pieces are as compelling and well described as the quieter moments of inner conflict and moral dilemma.” —Publishers Weekly
