In the summer of 1922, Robert Shannon, a Marine chaplain and a young American hero of the Great War, lands in Ireland. He still suffers from shell shock, and his mentor hopes that a journey Robert had always wanted to make—to find his family roots along the banks of the River Shannon—will restore his equilibrium and his vocation. But there is more to the story: On his return from the war, Robert had witnessed startling corruption in the Archdiocese of Boston. He has been sent to Ireland to secure his silence—permanently. As Robert faces the dangers of a strife-torn Ireland roiling in civil war, the nation’s myths and people, its beliefs and traditions, unfurl healingly before him. And the River Shannon gives comfort to the young man who is inspired by the words of his mentor: “Find your soul and you’ll live.”

Tom was absent mildly staring at the wall letting his thoughts wander.He recalled the Queen speaking "Doctor, I plan to use Tom here to amuse the Keos as an excuse to keep him alive. The Keos have been strongly insisting on hybrids of Keo Moorra to die like has always have done. I refused to do it to Tom as I made an oath to his father after his mother his mate Tomah was killed off by a Keo who didn't do this on my orders."He eyed the doctor from memory that spoke "I recommended that you have him get nourishment from the Daffodil drug via injections to his arm. He'll be easily controlled from the addiction to the drugged status to do whatever you want him to do." He stiffened from the memory as the Queen spoke "Do the recommendation doctor and start the injections now. He's old enough to be weaned from the mother milk substance. Besides I aim to have him implanted with the breathing device once you say he's old enough to withstand wearing it."He continued to stiffen as the doctor spoke "Actually my Queen there is another method for him to gain nourishment once he receives the breathing device which is by feeding tube implanted in his arm. I recommended you wait till it's obvious that he's a threat to Keos to have the devices implanted. I'm not sure if he has inherited the Banshee side or not. I figured once he has shown any indication of inheriting that is when you can implant him of the devices."He recalled the Queen speaking "Fine I'll tell the guards to keep an eye onto him very strongly so start the injections now." He continued to recall the doctor speaking "Certainly my Queen." Followed by the memory going black as Tom jerked open his eyes feeling rage hitting him as the memory stopped its course running through him. He kneel feeling the ground stop being smooth but rugged.

David Graham Phillips (October 31, 1867 – January 24, 1911) was an American novelist and journalist of the muckraker tradition.Phillips was born in Madison, Indiana. After graduating from high school, Phillips entered Asbury College (now DePauw University) — following which he received a degree from Princeton University in 1887. After completing his education, Phillips worked as a newspaper reporter in Cincinnati, Ohio, before moving on to New York City where he was employed as a reporter for The Sun from 1890 to 1893, then columnist and editor with the New York World until 1902. In his spare time, he wrote a novel, The Great God Success, that was published in 1901. The royalty income enabled him to work as a freelance journalist while continuing to write fiction. Writing articles for various prominent magazines, he began to develop a reputation as a competent investigative journalist. Phillips' novels often commented on social issues of the day and frequently chronicled events based on his real-life journalistic experiences. He was considered a Progressive and for exposing corruption in the Senate he was labelled a muckraker.
