The Silver Rings             November 2018     E-book £2.99, Paperback £8.99

Adventure, intrigue and self-discovery in 13th century Al Andalus.

It is February 1265 and our heroes return home to find that their city has changed. Can their friendships and affections survive the new order?

Rebecca is love-lorn and persecuted; Miguel is now the head of the Delgado family; Ben, the reluctant hero, pines for the past and Atta is desperate to find his father, held hostage by bandeleros. Together with Nathan, the runaway with dangerous new friends, their story unfolds as King and Emir jostle for power in the mountains.

Nathan and Atta still wear their rings, but, in a cruel twist of fate, Juan’s lost ring re-emerges, carried by someone who threatens Rebecca’s future and her happiness. Meanwhile the bandits join forces with a new and dangerous ally. As an audacious plan to rescue Atta’s father is hatched, the friends are separated once again, each of them in great danger.

Can they survive and find their way to safety and each other?
