A stunning portrait of the end of Queen Elizabeth I's reign, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Irish rebellion.
As the turbulent sixteenth century draws to a close, Queen Elizabeth I is growing tired, exhausted by England's bitter struggle against the Wild Irish and strangely isolated amidst the bustle of court life. But everything changes when a ship sails into London bearing the colours of the legendary Irish pirate queen Grace O'Malley, who has come to plead for the life of her son.
Though on opposite sides of a bitter and bloody conflict, these two powerful women, meeting near the end of their long and extraordinary lives, recognise in each other an equal in intelligence, courage and leadership. Through their eyes, the thrilling and violent events of the Irish rebellion are brought dramatically to life.
