Brigid is a druid's daughter. Patrick is an enslaved shepherd. Separately, they fight for their freedom until they discover the key to their future is in their past.

When Patrick, a high-born British Roman, is kidnapped by Irish raiders, his life is forever changed. After his attempts to escape slavery fail, Patrick falls under the watchful eye of a local druid who teaches the Christian-raised Patrick about pagan beliefs. On the other side of Ireland, Brigid has been marked as a gifted mage since birth. However, her chief druid suspects her talents run deeper than anyone knows and he forces her into the dangerous Test of the Ancients. Fearful for her life, Brigid runs away, determined to continue her druid training elsewhere.

Brigid and Patrick must decide whether to follow separate paths or join together to restore Ireland to her past glory. They will uncover the stories of their lives and find a connection that transcends time.

PRAISE FOR fiery Arrow

Fiery Arrow is a delightful, highly imaginative story!”

“This is indeed a very rich story for anyone interested in ancient history and with Celtic roots. Highly recommended.”

“Lamb not only captures the bygone era with precise detail, (she really did her homework), she conveys Patrick and Brigid’s emotions, worldly and otherworldly lives, and ties it all up in the end so that the story couldn’t have happened any other way.”

“Sheila Lamb's story in the Brigid Trilogy, Fiery Arrow, may be fantasy, but she compels you into a reality of 'now'...You are there with Brigid as she moves through time to reach Patrick and encourage him towards his destiny with her. Great read!!!”
