Collins Rising

Two young people caught up in the Irish War of Independence are befriended by Michael Collins and Countess Markievicz, one the mysterious leader of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, the other the muse of poets, notorious revolutionary, and most famous Irishwoman in the world.

For those curious about the untold stories of the distaff military organization Cumman na mBan, young girls armed with flick knives riding into danger, or the obscured history of the socialist movement that was part of the warp and weave of Ireland’s War for Independence, trade unionists and republicans united under the banner of the martyred James Connolly, here is an epic tale of love, sacrifice, and revolution.

And for anyone simply in search of a good yarn, here is the battle between an underground, out-gunned, guerrilla army vs the might of the English Empire; the formation of, and first "hits" by, Michael Collins' infamous apostles; and the intrigue of the spy vs spy world of revolutionary Dublin.
