★★★★ "Set against the backdrop of the Spanish Armada in 1588, the book offers a stirring tale of resilience and the enduring power of family and duty…. Devil's Island is a must read for Elizabethan history buffs," - Reedsy Discovery
For King, for country, for family.
Stranded on the unforgiving shores of Ireland, Francisco Butero, a captain of the once-mighty Spanish Armada, must summon all his strength and wits to stay alive. The land is divided between English occupation and bloody inter-clan warfare and there is a large price on the heads of survivors of the Armada. As he fights to survive against the unrelenting pursuit of the cunning English soldiers, he must also navigate the treacherous landscape of rival clans all vying for power.
Despite the unforgiving environment and the constant danger posed by his enemies, Francisco remains resolute in his mission to reunite with his family in Spain. Every step is a battle for survival against nature and his foes, but his determination may not be enough to overcome the seemingly insurmountable obstacles ahead. He must confront his deepest fears and doubts as he struggles to find a way back home.
Devil's Island is a sort of prequel to the epic Irish historical fiction Exiles series. It is set against the backdrop of the Elizabethan wars in Ireland and the Spanish Armada in 1588. A world of Irish clans and their politics, where the price on the head of a Spanish captain is enough for most rebels to turn him over to the English crown. If you love fast-paced action and adventure orientated historical fiction then you will love this book.
