1588. Abel de Santiago has deserted the army and all but avenged his murdered wife, when he is captured and sold as a galley slave. As the Spanish Armada sails for England, there can be few souls on board more reluctant than him. After a crushing defeat to the enemy fleet, the Spanish ships are battered by extraordinary storms and Santiago finds himself washed ashore in Ireland, a country terrorised by English troops that the natives call Sassenachs. But Santiago's faint hopes of survival appear dashed when he is captured by a brutal Sheriff, who has orders from Dublin to torture and kill all Spanish castaways. An unlikely escape has Santiago flee with a jewelled ring worth a king's ransom. His flight leads to a desperate chase across a strange and stunning land, where danger lurks at every turn. So begins The Sheriff's Catch; Part One of The Sassana Stone Pentalogy

About James Vella-Bardon
James Vella-Bardon was born and raised in Malta an island nation steeped in the millennia of history. As a boy he often caught a rickety old bus to the capital Valletta where he would hover around the English bookshops to check out the latest titles in fiction.Growing up he was an avid reader and a relentless daydreamer with his standout subject at school being English composition. He also won a couple of national essay competitions. Although he spent seven years studying and obtaining a doctor of law degree this did not cure him of his urge to write stories. So after emigrating to Sydney in 2007 he resolved to have a proper stab at writing his first novel.The result of this decision is an epic sprawling five-part historical fiction series called The Sassana Stone Pentalogy. It is the product of nine years of intense rewriting and research and tells the story of a Spanish Armada survivor who is shipwrecked in Ireland.www.jamesvellabardon.com
