Daniel O'Reilly wants to succeed in the rookies and make a life for himself and Kate.  Kate is the daughter of a rich shipping merchant. Daniel is employed by Kate's father and suffers many insults because of his Irish Heritage. Daniel also has a want for gin. After being falsely accused of murder Daniel is sent to Newgate.  While being transported Daniel is rescued by Atlas and goes into hiding. Kate's father dies and Kate is left to survive on her own  in the Rookies.  The rest of the story is in the prequel to A Dangerous Invitation.  Being Irish I enjoyed reading of the trials and tribulations of most Irish during the 1800's and the ability to overcome.
