ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Ariel Lawhon is an award-winning, critically acclaimed, New York Times bestselling author of historical fiction. Her books have been translated into over forty languages and have been Good Morning America and One Book One County selections. She lives in the rolling hills outside Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband and four sons. Ariel splits her time between the grocery store and the baseball field.
ABOUT THE BOOK
A swashbuckling coming-of-age saga—and Ariel’s first womb-to-tomb novel—the story follows Grace O’Malley from her childhood as a fierce tomboy, through marriage, motherhood, and her complicated navigation of her role as a leader and fighter, all with an eye toward the political machinations of English imperialism in Ireland and sharp elbows within Queen Elizabeth I’s court, perfect for fans of Diana Gabaldon, Maggie O’Farrell, and Game of Thrones. And—since it’s an Ariel Lawhon novel after all—it’s full of danger, suspense, and more than a hint of romance.
Keenly observed and fiercely written, THE PIRATE QUEEN 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.”
