Bridgie Ned and the Ghost of the Pirate Queen

By: D.P. Conway

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Bridgie Ned never asked for ghosts—until the Pirate Queen of Ireland called her by name.

When a black stallion haunts the lanes of Doona and an old woman is found dead near the Fahy church, twelve-year-old Bridgie and her pals are pulled into a mystery older than the village itself. Whispers say the Pooka is riding. Legends say Grace O’Malley—Gráinne Mhaol—still walks the ruined castle above Blacksod Bay. And a ruthless crew of treasure-hunters has arrived to dig up whatever the sea and time could not keep buried.

Guided by fireside lore, a cryptic parchment, and the courage to do what grownups won’t, Bridgie races her rival Fiona, outwits criminals, and follows Grace’s ghost toward a hidden journal that names a centuries-old betrayer. From currach chases in moonlit surf to storm-torn cliffs and the silent cairns above the village, this adventure carries the music and mystery of the West of Ireland on every page.

Rich with folklore, family, and a heroine you’ll love, Bridgie Ned and the Ghost of the Pirate Queen will captivate fans of Irish literature—young and old alike. Read one, and you’ll want them all.

A complete, stand-alone tale in The Bridgie Ned Mysteries—village adventures of courage, friendship, and Irish legend.
