The Doyle's Of Dublin
The Doyle family live in a house of glass.
On Dublin's Merrion Square, they are the picture of respectability, patrons of the arts, champions of charity, a dynasty polished to perfection. Behind the pearls and photographs, however, lies an empire of cocaine and fear, built on secrets too dangerous to name.
When firebombs blaze in the Liberties and whispers spread through dockside warehouses, the city learns what it has long suspected: Dublin's crowns are forged in blood, not gold. Rival gangs rise, law closes in, and a family already splintered by betrayal must decide how far they are willing to go to endure.
Patrick Doyle, the fading patriarch, clings to power with rage and whiskey. Ciara, the estranged daughter, writes words sharp enough to wound her own blood. And Eileen, the mother draped in pearls, proves that a queen survives not through love or loyalty, but sacrifice.
From glittering galas to burning pubs, from courtroom trials to midnight sieges, The House on Merrion Square charts the fall of a dynasty and the city it scarred.
Kings may fall. Queens may endure. But every crown is paid for in ash.
