Those who have the most to hope and nothing to lose will always be dangerous.' ?Edmund BurkeIf Sir Richard Lynche, baronet of Duncullen, must evict tenants to make room for profitable cattle, so be it. It is 1766 and workaday Irish have had enough. The Levellers, members of a secret agrarian society, vow to remove the landowner's boot pinned to their necks. Using pitchforks, spades'whatever is handy'they tear down walls, maim livestock, and threaten to destroy whoever stands in their way.But Lynche and his cronies have the law on their side, and they've classified Leveller protests as treason. When the local priest and boyhood friend of Sir Richard speaks out against the gentry's oppression, he becomes a prime target in their battle to cram the rebels back into their place.What could go wrong?Harps Upon the Willows picks up fifteen years after Aroon leaves off, focusing on true historical events that rocked eighteenth-century Tipperary.
