The Fires of Gleannmara series was published between 2000 and 2002 and sits among Linda Windsor’s most focused historical work. The three books are set in pre-Norman Ireland, a world of clans, cattle raids, bardic tradition, and early Christian monasticism.
Each novel takes its name from its heroine: Maire, Riona, and Deirdre. The women face different circumstances but the series maintains a consistent sense of place and a shared supporting cast that ties the books together. For readers interested in Celtic historical fiction with explicit Christian themes, this is Windsor’s most distinctive series.
