Ariel Lawhon
Grace O’Malley was born to be at sea. Raised by her father, chief of clan O’Malley, Grace learns early that her dreams of the open water are not compatible with the life she's expected to lead as the daughter of a noble family. And when her father marries her to the wrong man, a neighboring chief named Donhal, Grace's world shifts for the worse.
Undaunted, Grace raises a family without abandoning her passion, aiding her hot-tempered husband in his campaigns against rival tribes. Eventually ousted from her husband's land in the wake of his death, Grace returns to her childhood home and begins her career as a pirate in earnest, claiming new territories and finding deeper love, only to see her livelihood threatened by English incursions into Ireland, and her family endangered in an attempt to check her power.
Tenderly observed and fiercely written, Ariel Lawhon’s gripping latest channels the natural beauty of sixteenth-century Ireland alongside the brutality of the period as seen through the eyes of an unforgettable heroine and defender of her people, who truly earned the title ‘the Pirate Queen of Ireland’.

'Expect action-packed skirmishes and romances at sea from this “red-headed ferocity”.'
'This propulsive 500-page book delivers a spirited, layered feminist historical chronicle of one woman who resists convention every step of the way.'
'A page-turner. . . Bold and daring, it’s a thrill-a-minute adventure with an absolute badass at the helm.'
'A captivating tale inspired by one of history’s most fascinating women. . . Few authors research quite as meticulously as Ariel Lawhon. . . Thrilling. . . The Pirate Queen is a masterfully written, meticulously researched epic that delivers everything that I love about her work: a classic, powerful female protagonist and storytelling that feels like a genuine work of art. It’s a complex, rich narrative that gives you plenty to digest.'
'A vivid portrait of a larger-than-life figure whose feats of bravery and cunning have become the stuff of legend.'
'Exhilarating . . . rewards attentive readers with recurring imagery and motifs forming an increasingly complex portrait of the heroine. This is transportive.'
'A thrilling story, and the fun that Lawhon clearly had with scenes of bloody mayhem, storms at sea, treacherous machinations and low Gaelic dialect is contagious. Her pirate queen is brilliant, beautiful and fearless; her loyal servants are adoring and capable; her male foes are sleazy scumbags and detestable boobs – all exactly as it should be. A heroic, exciting and stormy voyage.'
‘An immersive odyssey.'
