Under the Emerald Sky
(The Irish Fortune Series, Book 1)
By Juliane Weber
He’s come to Ireland to escape his past. She’s trying to run from her future.
It's
1843 and the English nobleman Quinton Williams has come to Ireland to
oversee the running of his father’s ailing estate and escape his painful
past. Here he meets the alluring Alannah O’Neill, whose Irish family is
one of few to have retained ownership of their land, the rest having
been supplanted by the English over the course of the country's bloody
history. Finding herself drawn to the handsome Englishman, Alannah
offers to help Quin communicate with the estate’s Gaelic-speaking
tenants, as much to assist him as to counter her own ennui. Aware of her
controlling brother’s hostility towards the English, she keeps her
growing relationship with Quin a secret – a secret that cannot, however,
be kept for long from those who dream of ridding Ireland of her English
oppressors.
Among
the stark contrasts that separate the rich few from the plentiful poor,
Under the Emerald Sky is a tale of love and betrayal in a land
teetering on the brink of disaster - the Great Famine that would forever
change the course of Ireland's history.

Juliane
is actually a scientist. She holds degrees in physiology and zoology,
including a PhD in physiology. During her studies she realised, however,
that her passion lay not in conducting scientific research herself, but
in writing about it. Thus began her career as a medical writer, where
she took on all manner of writing and editing tasks, in the process
honing her writing skills, until she finally plucked up the courage to
write her first historical novel, Under the Emerald Sky. The book is the
first in The Irish Fortune Series, which is set in 19th century Ireland
around the time of the Great Famine.
Juliane lives with her husband and two sons in Hamelin, Germany, the town made famous by the story of the Pied Piper.
