Drogheda Ireland 1076

An Irish beauty and a warrior betrayed, doomed in love from the start or does fate have something else in store for them?

The sixth son bears a curse as certain as the seventh son bears a blessing. When Tadhg MacNaughton’s betrothed is ripped from his arms and married to another, he believes the legend is true.

Tisa O'Brien's life slams into a downward spiral at the news she is no longer betrothed to the love of her life but to the tanist of a warring, prideful clan with dangerous political aspirations, the Meic Lochlainn. She faces her destiny with all the strength and dignity of her Irish heritage despite dealing with a husband who resents her, fighting off the lustful advances of her father-in-law, Aodh, and longing for the husband of her heart.

Tadhg MacNaughton makes a deal with the devil to ensure the survival of his clan as he is commanded to fight with Aodh who envisions himself the new Brian Boru, High King of Eire. Up close and personal, Tadhg must witness his true love's marriage and remain silent even as it rips him apart. When a sinister plot to over throw King William of England led by the exiled Leofrid Godwin and Clan Meic Lochlainn comes to light, Tadhg is faced with saving his clan or endangering his sister and her Norman husband.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Award-winning author Ashley York writes historical romance full of passion and intrigue set in 11th and 12th century Ireland, Scotland, and England where life was wild and survival was never guaranteed.

Whether it's in the mysterious ring forts of Ireland, the romantic Scottish Highlands, or the battle fields of Hastings, her characters fight hard and play hard. Good or evil, primary or secondary, they'll yank at your emotions and make it hard to put her books down.

Passionate about history and research, York may tweak some historical facts (like the location of the Baron's Rebellion) but the flavor of the time is undeniable. With heroes and heroines you'll want to read about again and again, her stories are fresh and unpredictable but still finish with a satisfying HEA.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2016

    In THE SEVENTH SON, the final installment of her Conquest Series, Ashley York gives readers a sweeping historical tale of betrayal, treachery, and a love that remains constant through unthinkable trials. Set in Ireland, it’s the story of Tadhg and Tisa, betrothed as children, who look forward to being together. But before the marriage, they are ripped apart because of a terrible secret between their clans. Wed against her will to the son of a chieftain from a rival family, Tisa is the guarantee her father needs to protect his clan from attack. Little does he know what his decision will cost them all. Subterfuge surrounds Tisa in her new life, where she faces unimaginable ordeals, her own dangerous secret protected only by the questionable honor of her new husband, along with a totally unexpected friend.

    Tadhg, stunned by what he thinks is Tisa’s betrayal in wedding another, tries to forget her, but when they’re unexpectedly brought together, he realizes his love hasn’t weakened. Bound by his word to her new father-in-law, Tadhg is thrown into danger from political enemies and vengeful clansmen. Tisa’s devotion to him remains undiminished through her trials, as well, but the pair must weather political intrigue, treachery, and sorrow before they at last find their life together.
    .
    Ms. York’s clever way with unique plots is at its best here. She seamlessly weaves in favorite characters from the first three books as they work to thwart a political threat by Saxon enemies to England’s new ruler, William. Ms. York has a way with characterization, and gives us memorable secondary characters as well as heroes and heroines. Seeing all the favorites come together certainly makes The Seventh Son a special read.

    The super historical research and period details are added touches that help make this story unforgettable. I'm certainly looking forward to her next series!

    Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2016

    Ashley York has crafted a wonderful and realistic account of eleventh century life in Ireland and England during and after the Norman conquests. Her knowledge of the subject matter is obvious in regard to the story. These characters are well developed, coming to life within each paragraph, page, and chapter. Seventh Son would be better served read in the series order, rather than stand alone. This is the final story of the series and a multitude of story lines with an impressive and vast cast of characters are tied up in a nice, neat package. It became slightly confusing for me, as I'd only read book 3 of the series regarding Sean and Thomasina's characters. Even then, the admirable way in which Ms. York wraps up each and every story, leaving no loose ends, is astounding. Especially with such a complex and impressive cast of characters. This series is well-worth reading from start to finish, taking the time to savor each one like a mouthful of full-bodied wine.

    I don't think life was or is ever easy. In 11th century Ireland the people lead tough lives. Tough lives often make tough people. So, rape, brutal leaders, ridgid dictatorial fathers, are honestly realistic. If we think homosexual men didn't happen in powerful families, we are kidding ourselves. That being said, I found it difficult to have so many characters with names that started with double vowels starting with A! It gets really hard to keep the characters straight. This is the 4th book in the series, and if you jump in as I did at the 4th there are characters and explanations that sometimes I had to reread several times. This seemed like an overly long book.

    I think the author thought long about what life was like in that time period. There are a few things I question, but on the whole, I found it to be interesting, and a thoughtful creation. I would suggest a footnote though for the many old English/Irish words that had no explanation. Even My Shakespeare plays have footnotes that help me understand Middle English, and we are even farther back here!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Tadhg and Tisa
    Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Tadhg is the new chieftain of the McNaughton clan. Tisa is the daughter of the chieftain of the O'Brien clan. They were promised to each other as children, but that betrothal has been broken due to Tadhg's father severing ties with the O'Briens. Tisa is given to the son of another clan for an alliance of protection. When Tadhg comes back to the O'Brien to re-establish the alliance, he and his warriors are made to serve at Roland O'Brien's pleasure, which will be to serve Tisa's father-in-law. Her father-in-law is in league with the Godwin, who wants to over throw the Normans and King William. Tisa and Tadhg still love each other but are separated by her new marriage. Will circumstances alter to permit the two lovers to be together? Will Tadhg be able to stop the Godwin invasion?

    This novel does have a scene of cheating, even though Tisa's first marriage was never consummated. Still the reasoning behind the infidelity did not sit well with me. Outside of that, I was pleased with the novel. There were many characters in the novel. Sometimes the secondary characters over shadowed the hero and heroine. The plot is simple and easy to follow. The subplots were nicely tied up. I feel this book is a stand alone novel even though it is volume 4.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Hated to love this book.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    The reason why I chose this title was because of everything that happened in this book. You have power hungry people, hate, lust, death, unwanted marriages, and people who could care less for others. There are parts you hate because of the time is what it is and and parts that you love because everything worked out for the good at the end. It is a very well written by Ashley York and I would recommend this book to everyone who desire a little bit of everything. Enjoy reading.
