Looking at America through the Irish prism and employing a comparative approach, leading and emerging scholars of early American and Atlantic history interrogate anew the relationship between imperial reform and revolution in Ireland and America, offering fascinating insights into the imperial whole of which both places were a part.

She burst into tears and held her chest that was aching. “Choose, William... Me or revenge?” she asked with her hopeful eyes. Instead of answering it, I stood firm and looked into her eyes intently. “I, Alpha King William, rejected you Mira to be my mate. Get ready... This town will bathe in blood.” I heartlessly said before turning my back and leaving her in tears.
