Vivid, passionate, panoramic, The Geraldine Conspiracy is in the tradition of the epic novel. The year is 1537. Suspicious of their power and ambition, with barbaric cruelty, king Henry VIII has almost wiped out the powerful Geraldine dynasty in Ireland. The 11 year-old Gerald FitzGerald is the dynasty's sole survivor.

Plucked from the maw of the Tudor murder machine by his English tutor, Thomas Leverous and his young aunt, Eleanor, the young Geraldine and his protectors, flee from the king's agents in Ireland.

The warring Irish chiefs and lords agree to put aside their differences and unite to save the last Geraldine. But their efforts become entangled in the machiavellian net of European politics, which destroy the tentative steps towards Irish unity; jeopardises the Geraldine's life and threatens to reveal the dark secret that both unites and divides Eleanor and Thomas.
