If the Druids are still active in Ireland, wouldn the period of the Sevenwaters Trilogy be before the Norman conquest?
I’ve addressed this in the Sevenwaters section below. The historical period for the Sevenwaters books is pretty vague, since I set out to write a fairy tale / family saga, not a historical novel. If I were writing the book now I would give the English characters Saxon or Welsh names. I would also be more careful with the Irish names, some of which are wrong for the period. In its early drafts this book was set in an imaginary world. It ‘grew’ its Irish framework later.
