Hurling 1810 is set against the background of a forgotten era in the history of hurling—when landlords controlled the game and large sums of money were at stake.
For Seán O’Meara, taking the pay of landlord Charles Kavanagh is already a betrayal for a man whose father died in the 1798 Rebellion.
He has a plan, but first he must forge a path between those who trust him and those whom he must trust. Team-mates, landlord, family, rebels and lovers… Seán must find his place as everything he knows begins to crumble around him.
For Charles Kavanagh, keeping the ancient game of hurling going is the only hope: for him, for his family, for Ireland, for the King… the only way he can see of preventing people from tearing themselves apart—from fighting the English and themselves.
