Irish Paladin: A Seer's Odyssey
In 1847, Ireland is starving. A boy and his younger sister escape the famine with nothing but a stolen pouch of gold and a gift that marks him for life—he can see what others cannot. The visions offer warning, never mercy. Across the Atlantic, death follows them through coffin ships, slums, and the hard streets of America. Only one of them survives the crossing.
By the time he reaches Texas, the boy has become a man shaped by hunger, loss, and pursuit. The frontier offers work, danger, and no forgiveness. In cattle towns and dust-choked roads, justice is decided by knives, pistols, and who is still standing at the end. The gold makes him valuable. The visions make him dangerous. Both make him hunted.
In old legends, a paladin is a knight sworn to defend the helpless. On the Texas frontier, there are no knights—only those who endure and those who fall. This paladin does not ride for honor. He stands because turning away costs more than staying. He fights because running only delays the reckoning.
Irish Paladin is a story of famine, exile, second sight, and survival across two brutal continents—where loyalty is costly, violence is common, and the only code that matters is the one a man carries when the world offers none.
