The year is 1593. Queen Elizabeth rules Her mighty English empire after defeating the Spanish Armada. Her people adore her, and Europe now has no choice but to respect her as a commanding leader of a powerful nation. Now it is time to celebrate, and the Queen processes to the Shire of Mt. Hope to enjoy a festival thrown in her honor.

However, on the horizon looms an invasion led by the Irish Pirate Queen Grace O’Malley and her crew seeking an audience with Queen Elizabeth. The dreaded English Governor of Ireland, Sir Richard Bingham, has stolen the Pirate Queen’s lands and family, forcing O’Malley to disrupt the Queen’s celebration while seeking justice and retribution. Will Queen Elizabeth find common ground with this Irish pirate rebel, or support her greatest general, Sir Richard Bingham, in his effort to squash the Irish rebellion at all costs?
