The Ruby Ring series spans ten books and is one of Chrissy Peebles’ longer-running series. The central premise involves a magical ruby ring that enables time travel, sending characters to different historical periods where they must survive, adapt, and often fall in love. The series began with “The Secret of the Ruby Ring” (1991) and continued through “Eternal Conflict” (2015).
The “Eternal” titles that dominate the later entries (“Eternal Destiny,” “Eternal Vows,” “Eternal Fire,” “Eternal Faith,” “Eternal Flame”) emphasize the romantic through-line of the series. Time travel provides the adventure and world-building, while the relationships between the characters give the books their emotional center. The long run of the series allows Peebles to explore different time periods and romantic pairings.
