"Nuala O'Malley" by H. Bedford-Jones is a fun adventure story, with a supernatural element. Set in Ireland at the beginning of the 17th century, it adapts elements of Irish history from the century before and after to tell us about the adventures and misadventures of Brian O'Neill, raised in Spain and a descendant of the Earls of Tyrone, returns to the island to carve out his own destiny. Opposite him is the most interesting character in the story, the "Dark Lord" Dubh O'Donnell, with the air of a wizard.
