Maurice Tiernay, Soldier of Fortune

Maurice Tiernay is an Irish youth whose restless spirit draws him into the maelstrom of the French Revolution. With a quick smile and a sharper sword, he finds himself on the cusp of history, caught between the fervor of the guillotine and the promise of adventure. His charm masks a fierce determination to carve his own destiny.

Early in his wanderings he stumbles into the smoky tavern Au Scelerat, where secrets are traded over glasses of wine, and later into a clandestine temple where revolutionary zeal collides with personal ambition. These encounters force Tiernay to make choices that bind him tighter to the turmoil raging around him, while his wit keeps him one step ahead of danger.

Lever’s narration blends vivid historical detail with a lively, roguish humor that makes each episode feel fresh. Listeners are treated to a kaleidoscope of European battlefields, bustling cafes, and unexpected friendships, all seen through Maurice’s daring eyes. It’s a story of ambition, loyalty, and the endless search for a place to call home.
