Though his father was killed and his whole clan wiped out by the mac Mahon twenty years ago, he took an oath when he was anointed chief that he would not seek revenge.

But when the mac Mahon finally strikes, slaughtering someone close to him, Muirtagh chooses his fate as an outlaw and oath-breaker without a clan or a name—untamed by both king and country.","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53187920888151,"sku":"9781504087216","price":16.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-kings-in-winter-9781504087216","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
