Forbidden Deeds

Set in the late sixteenth century, Forbidden Deeds follows the story of Caitlyn who travels from Limerick in Ireland to County Wicklow, to be with her relatives after her parents are killed by the Redcoats. She had found a silver ring which carries the magic of the Elves and it helps her on her journey of danger and lost treasure. Tavis is a young man in Scotland, who, when he finds himself in possession of a silver ring, is drawn to Ireland to find the young woman in his dreams. Caitlyn and Tavis find each other which reunites the rings after many generations apart, and they make a future together.

Caitlyn lives with her family on a farm near Limerick in the late sixteenth century. Caitlyn hides in an old cottage when the Redcoats come, and finds a silver ring there. Her parents are killed, so a family friend takes Caitlyn and two of her siblings on a journey to find their relatives in Wicklow. Along the way, the group finds an ancient treasure, and hides it in a new place to protect it from the English. Caitlyn becomes involved with the resistance movement against the English while living with her relatives. Tavis is in Scotland living amongst the border families near Hadrian's Wall. It is a life of thieving, violence and uncertainty, and when his father and brother are killed, he moves the rest of his family to safety. Taking the old silver ring that he found in his fathers house, he travels to Ireland to find the young woman in his dreams. The rings help both of the owners on their journeys and draw them onto the same path, until the rings are together once more.
