Gearrchuntas, sa mhéid agus go bhfuil foinsí ann dó, ar shaol agus ar mhairtíreacht seachtar déag a d’aithin an Róimh ar na mallaibh. Tá idir ghlóir agus ghruaim anseo, ar spiorad daoine a mhair dílis go héag ainneoin gach ciaptha.

A short account based on the sources, of the life and martyrdom of seventeen Irish people recently recognized by Rome. Glory mixes with sadness as one reads of the spirit of sixteen men and one woman faithful unto death, in spite of dungeon, fire and sword.
