In the snow

Set in Athy, Ireland in 1845. This is a historical fiction that places Hozier in occupied Ireland, inspired by his song Empire Now.

Maggie is a young revolutionary, on the run from the British Lord John Russell. Lord Russell presided over the colonial conquest of Ireland during the Great Famine of 1845.

She wakes up with no memory in the snow on Andrew Hozier-Byrne's farm. He and his mother are battling a bitter winter, and cannot afford more trouble by way of a rebel rouser. Still, Andrew can't bring himself to abandon Maggie. But why does Lord Russell seek her out? What has she done to draw the British governments ire? Does she promise a freedom, or destruction?
