Grace O’Malley was born to be a sea captain. But despite her natural skill on the water, Grace learns early that her dreams of a life at the helm are not compatible with the expectations of her noble family. As the only daughter of a powerful chieftain, her role is to secure a strong alliance and bear children. But when she’s sent to foster with a nearby clan, Grace falls for a clever and open-minded second son—a man she cannot have.
Married off against her will to a brutal warrior, Grace performs her duty, all the while gathering followers loyal to her, and consolidating her husband’s power, only to be ousted from his lands. But this betrayal offers Grace the opportunity to return to sea, finally leading clan O’Malley’s mighty fleet. Just as she finds true independence, Queen Elizabeth’s incursions into Ireland grow bolder and Grace must fight to defend her land, her ships, and the people she loves most against the cruel and power-hungry English deputies, who will stop at nothing to check her influence.
Keenly observed and fiercely written, Ariel Lawhon's new action-packed novel channels the untamed beauty and harsh realities of sixteenth-century Ireland, as seen through the eyes of an unforgettable heroine who rightly became “the Pirate Queen of Ireland.”

Reseñas de la crítica
Epic. . . Engaging. . . This propulsive 500-page book delivers a spirited, layered feminist historical chronicle of one woman who resists convention every step of the way.” --New York Times Book Review
“A page-turner. . . Bold and daring, it’s a thrill-a-minute adventure with an absolute badass at the helm.” --Real Simple
"Legendary historical figure Grace O’Malley commands the page as she once commanded the Atlantic in this thrilling tale of clan rivalries, daring escapades, bloody betrayals, and female power. . . Lawhon's swaggering epic transports us to a mythic era complete with brave heroes and heroines, loyal servants and vile villains." --Oprah Daily
"Epic . . . An action-packed adventure that could be a spectacular movie in the right filmmaker’s hands (we’re looking at you, Mr. Nolan).” —AARP
“An immersive odyssey.”—Booklist, Starred Review
“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.”—Kirkus Reviews
“A vivid portrait of a larger-than-life figure whose feats of bravery and cunning have become the stuff of legend.” --Library Journal
“A harrowing and hell-raising historical adventure.” --BookPage
“Exhilarating . . . rewards attentive readers with recurring imagery and motifs forming an increasingly complex portrait of the heroine. This is transportive.” --Publishers Weekly
"Engrossing" --Women's World
“An action-packed, epic reimagining of the woman often remembered as the Pirate Queen of Ireland.” --Yahoo! Entertainment
