After one man makes a seven-year deal with the Devil and the other watches his risky shipping empire collapse, both suffer the consequences. Each man lives with his own burden: one a prolonged curse, the other a crushing debt. Their paths intertwine at a harborside inn where their choices could make all the difference.
Based on one of the lesser known Brothers Grimm fairytales, the novel explores the idea of imprisonment and slavery, both in the real world and in the mind. Touches of Irish folklore and local legend combine to create an atmospheric, timeless world.
Incorporating early history of the Northern slave trade and colonial Irish immigration, the story also explores the reciprocal relationship between master and servant. Though set in the deep past, the tale delves into thoughts about ethical wealth creation that still concern us today.
One man's soul and another man's livelihood hang in the balance. As evil forces gather to defeat them, a certain fair lady has reason to pray for them both.
