In this swashbuckling historical romance, Ardys Trevallon is the stunning, strong-willed daughter of Queen Elizabeth's fencing master, and a master fencer herself. She is taken prisoner by handsome Desmond Kirkconnell, a pirate, scoundrel, and rogue who eventually wins her heart. The Queen's Fencer is their love story, moving from the glittering court of the Queen to the dense forests of northern Ireland, to the lush tropical islands of the Caribbean, and back to the beaches of Cornwall.

Desmond and Ardys are separated by treachery, misfortune and mischance, and by the deceit of Desmond's rival pirate, the suave but villainous Frenchman Francois de la Roche, who kidnaps Ardys. Kirkconnell searches the seas for his lost love and for revenge against his enemy.

Filled with court intrigue, passionate love, swordfights, sea battles and strong characters, The Queen's Fencer is a thrilling tale of passion set against a fascinating era of history.
