The Sheriff's Catch | James Vella-Bardon

1 post | 1 read

Winner of the 'best novel' and 'best historical fiction' categories at the international Royal Dragonfly Book Awards 2019. Abel de Santiago is a man on the run. Once a famous sniper, Abel finds himself a survivor of the Spanish Armada shipwrecks in 16th C Ireland. Following his capture by a brutal sheriff, Abel flees torture and death with a priceless emerald ring. Dozens of English troopers hunt the Spaniard across the Irish wilds, beating every last bush in a desperate attempt to find him. Muireann is a revered Irish poetess enjoying the hospitality of a neighbouring tribe. Tragedy strikes when the sheriff's men kill her husband during a violent night raid, with her life barely saved by the fugitive Abel. Newly widowed and shocked by her loss, Muireann must somehow reach the distant lands of her tribe, where she can be reunited with her only son. Both runaways form an unlikely bond as they flee across a strange and stunning land, pushed to the edge of their wits and endurance. Yet unknown to Muireann, the ring Abel carries bears far-reaching consequences beyond Irish shores. Can the unlikely, desperate pair escape a ruthless sheriff who will never give up the chase?

The Sheriff's Catch | James Vella-Bardon

bailed

This is a book/reader mismatch rather than any problems with the book - full-on action/adventure isn‘t really my thing, & I‘m not reading enough right now to get through the second half. Set at the time of the Spanish Armada, this is a revenge story full of wild adventures crossing the Netherlands, Spain and Ireland. Light-hearted, but an awful lot of fight scenes!

Author from #Malta, so this was my attempt for December‘s #readaroundtheworld.
