The Prisoner is a fast moving story of adventure and romance set in the exotic and vibrant 11th century city of Málaga, and is the third novel in The City of Dreams series.
It opens when a young Moorish prince wakes to the filth and stench of his new home; at first he can’t understand what’s happened to him. Where is he? Gradually he remembers what his brother Hasan has done to him, but the question remains, why? His brother is the new khalifa of Málaga but instead of welcoming Ben-Yahya, with open arms, he has him thrown into prison. He can only guess what Hasan is plotting, but one thing he does know is that no-one gets out of these dungeons alive.
Against this unsettled period in the history of Moorish Spain, where life becomes even more turbulent as intrigues and treachery within the royal household threaten the stability of the city, Salma and her family arrive in Málaga, hoping to follow their dreams and make new lives for themselves. However they soon discover that life in the city is not all they had hoped for; she and her husband share a secret, which if discovered could mean they would face exile or even death.

The discovery of game-changing quantum technology sparks an AI war between Earth’s powerful dynasties and the solar system colonies.
A long-lost ship transporting an experimental quantum communications device has just been found in an uncharted region of the asteroid belt. For Commander Scott McNabb, Flight Officer Miranda Lee, and the ragtag survey crew who accidentally stumble upon this lost tech… life is about to become a whole lot more complicated.
They now find themselves being hunted down by powerful factions from Earth who will stop at nothing to get their hands on this extraordinary technology. Their only hope is to push their ancient ship to its limits, try and stay one step ahead, and get to the safety of the quantum intelligence on the icy moon of Europa.
But to do that, they must first stop bickering, pull together, and buckle up. Because if they don’t, then it’s not just their lives at stake—but the lives of millions of people throughout the colonized worlds.

Liberty Terrace (Doire Press, 2021) is Madeleine D’Arcy’s second collection of short fiction. These linked short stories feature a bevy of characters who reside in a fictional area of Cork City in the period 2016-2020. The inhabitants of Liberty Terrace come and go and their lives occasionally intersect in stories that are sometimes funny, sometimes dark, often both.
‘Liberty Terrace is the world in merciless microcosm. Madeleine D’Arcy’s writing will make you laugh out loud and smart with painful recognition.’ Mary Morrissy.
‘The stories in Liberty Terrace are intimate, humane and wickedly funny. Moving and perceptive, these stories are by turns upsetting and luminous. A triumph!’ Danielle McLaughlin.
