An Irish earl’s illegitimate daughter seeks her rightful place in the world in this historical novel set in nineteenth century Ireland and Russia. Eva Dillon, the illegitimate daughter of Ulick John de Burgh, 14th Earl of Clanricarde, is fiercely proud of her noble lineage. But her sense of belonging is shattered when Ulick dies, leaving Eva and her mother with nothing.
