The Atlantic port of Galway 1612, Lucás, a young student and a gifted swordsman, is entrusted by a shady Jesuit priest with an important letter to be delivered into the hands of Aodh Mór Ó Néill, Earl of Tyrone (leader of the Irish chieftains in Rome seeking the help of Philip of Spain to retake Ireland from the English) . Lúcás’s mission will take him on a perilous journey across Europe. Following hot on his heels, in the narrow streets of the city, is the enemy’s most devious and brutal spy – with orders to stop him, at all costs.
384 lch; clúdach bog; ISBN 978-1-909907-53-9 An dara leabhar sa tsraith 'Lúcás Ó Briain' (An Litir). In Éirinn, Earrach na bliana 1612, tugtar litir thábhachtach do Lúcás Ó Briain le breith faoi rún chun na Róimhe agus le leagan i láimh Aodha Mhóir Uí Néill, Iarla Thír Eoghain. Tá Ó Néill agus na taoisigh Ghaelacha sa Róimh ag iarraidh airm ar Rí na Spáinne le filleadh ar Éirinn agus le cumhacht Shasana sa tír a bhriseadh. Cuireann Lúcás chun farraige agus feallmharfóir rua an namhad, an Sionnach tiomanta díocasach, ar a thóir. Seo é an dara leabhar i sraith úrscéalta suite in Éirinn agus ar Mhór-Roinn na hEorpa sna blianta corraitheacha sin tar éis Imeacht na hIarlaí. “Coinníonn Mac Cóil gearradh faoin bprós ó thús deireadh agus fágtar an léitheoir ag fiafraí cén deireadh a bheidh le Lúcás sa Lobháin? Is mairg don té a déarfadh nach mbíonn spraoi ar an stair.” — Dónall Ó Braonáin, TUAIRISC.IE
