About this audiobook
Ireland, 1535.
The sea is no place for a girl.
Least of all Grace O'Malley, the only daughter of a powerful chieftain and the family's best hope of securing a strong alliance through childbirth. But something wild and unexpected stirs within Grace, a yearning that neither her father nor her mother - nor even the brutal warrior she is eventually forced to marry - can suppress for long.
1586. Over the past half-century, the determined young girl has defied all expectations. Now heir to clan O'Malley's mighty fleet and a formidable mother, Grace is prepared to kill to protect what is hers. So when Queen Elizabeth's incursions into Ireland grow bolder she must fight to defend her land, her ships and the people she loves most.
Keenly observed and fiercely written, The Pirate Queen is a sweeping historical adventure inspired by the life of Grace O'Malley, the legendary Irish folk heroine who risked everything to save her people.
