The Pirate Queen

Grace O'Malley commanded a dozen ships and the obedience of thousands of men. Fered and loved on land as well as sea, her empire stretched from Connaught on the Irish coast to the cobalt waters of Africa.
Through the daring of her piracy Grace nearly bankrupted the English treasurey; she caused nothing but trouble for Elizabeth I. Yet the lives of these two amazing women were inextricably intertwined and Alan Gold skilfully brings to life their eventual meeting during the most brilliant and romantic era that Europe has ever known.
"If there is one thing readers have come to expect from Alan Gold, it is his ability to tell a good story. His fiction is big, sweeping and engaging." Canberra Sunday Times
