A New York Times bestseller from Ariel Lawhon, author of The Frozen River and I Was Anastasia, The Pirate Queen is a sweeping historical adventure inspired by the life of Grace O’Malley, the legendary Irish heroine who fought to defend her people and command her own destiny.
Grace O’Malley was born for the sea. Despite her natural skill as a sailor, the expectations placed on the only daughter of a powerful chieftain leave little room for dreams of becoming a captain. Her future is supposed to be shaped by marriage, alliances and duty.
When Grace is married against her will to a brutal warrior, she fulfils the role expected of her while quietly building influence and earning the loyalty of those around her. After betrayal forces her from her husband’s lands, she finally finds an opportunity to return to the life she has always wanted, leading Clan O’Malley’s powerful fleet.
But freedom brings new dangers. As Queen Elizabeth’s influence in Ireland grows, Grace must protect her land, her ships and the people she loves from English deputies determined to limit her power.
Set against the beauty and brutality of sixteenth-century Ireland, The Pirate Queen brings to life a formidable woman whose courage, leadership and defiance earned her a lasting place in Irish history.
