The Fallon Blood is a novel written by fantasy author James Oliver Rigney, Jr. (more commonly known as Robert Jordan) under the name Reagan O'Neal.

The more common 1995 printing is a new reprint, released by Tor Books under the Forge imprint in order to capitalize on the success of The Wheel of Time.

Since the punishment of killing an Englishman was death, Michael was left no choice but to flee Ireland to the American colonies, where he became an indentured servant to Thomas Carver.

Michael buried himself in working his plantation Tir Alanin to forget Elizabeth, and dabbled in aiding American resistance for the same purpose.

On constant guard from Justin's assassinations, Michael met his son Robert Fallon (from Elizabeth).

He then returns to America with an Irish wife, Moira McConnell, and goes into business in Charleston where he raises a somewhat troublesome family.

In the eve of the Revolution, the Fourrier family is forced out of the colonies because their centuries-worth of power has no place in the new nation.

The two try to make amends with Michael's family, though Gabrielle is livid and refuses to give Robert the benefit of the doubt.

Like his father Robert buries himself in the arms of another woman, a French girl by the name of Louise de Chardonnay.

Despite the stalker-like intents of powerful sea mogul Murad Reis, Robert takes Louise as a mistress, who eventually bears his first son James.

For three years Robert fights Tripoli forces under the command of a Colonel Eaten, only to find upon his return that his father is dead, and Louise marries a Thomas Martin.

Robert falls in love with Irish girl Moira McDonnel, and returns to America with her as his wife.

This only exasperates the situation with his wife Moira, who is waging war with Robert over allowing his bastards into his household and the defense of his incestuous son Edward, who has grown up a spoiled noble much like his deceased half-uncle James.

His life of survival and the dangers he has endured makes him a close parallel of his father, who possesses the same will and determination.

Enemies made by Michael and Robert during their lifetimes converge upon James, who must find out if he has strength enough to stand against them.
