The Great Hunger drove Gabe and Mick O'Brien from famine-wracked Ireland to the bleak English Fen country. There they found love and hate burning side by side beneath the savage moon. Chance threw the O'Brien boys and the Bray girls together. Marnie Bray was a temptress fired with a child's curiosity and a woman's longing for Gabe's lithe body and laughing eyes. To Jenny Bray, young and gullible, the Irish boys were gods. But to the girl's harsh father and brutal brothers the O'Briens were beggars to be chased from the land.
From the hardship of rural England to the turmoil of the American Civil War, the Brays and the O'Briens were bound together by desire, rivalry and love that blazed across continents and tore two families apart.
