Devlin was previously employed by the Regime, but now works casually in the mainland capital city. After a period of estrangement, he renews contact with his family back home in Ireland where a deep Celtic spirituality has re-immerged. Devlin now finds that his relationship with his sister Miriam and the artist Gráinne are crucial to his progress through disturbing times that are both bizarre and worryingly familiar. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Regime seeks to re-employ Devlin in a role devolving powers to the west of Ireland. With this he sees the potential for greater political empowerment, but he has also become a figure of interest to forces willing to use extreme violence to gain their country full independence. Devlin finds he is now faced with a dilemma he can’t walk away from, one that will ultimately define both his future and that of his community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41745165385825,"sku":"9781805144144","price":15.73,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_12611278_5233_20241024063833.jpg?v=1729800554","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781805144144-devlin","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
