The clan lures Mary into a trap at an old mill and sets the mill on fire. Mary escapes the flames but her lover, her heart's true joy, dies saving her. Beset with rage, blood for blood becomes Mary's daily, ungodly prayer.Mary though is forced to put aside her thirst for revenge while England and Spain are locked in barbarous war. She is honor bound to answer a call-to-arms from the Tudor Queen. Mary gathers her fighting men and warships and sets out with the English fleet to battle the Spanish colossus.After the two great kingdoms have spilt oceans of blood and spent themselves, Mary returns to Ireland to settle her debts.
