The Claddagh

by Austin C. Tobin

This is the story of Niall and Siobhan--two young people who instantly fell hopelessly in love. Drawn together by their differences, they became inseparable. That is until what should have been an uneventful evening, fate stepped in and divided them by distances they never knew existed.

Forced to survive independently of one another, each bolstered only by their dedication to the other. They prove that true love knows no bounds.

While she is shunned at home for her appearance, he is forced to toil in anonymous enslavement. Eventually, Niall is rewarded for his pure intentions and steadfast devotion. In the process of his efforts, he becomes a true craftsman and creates one of the most iconic and recognizable pieces of jewelry in history.

But nothing is ever easy in this world.

I hope this version of those incredible events breaks down some barriers in people’s hearts, and opens them up to the idea that we are not all different.

New perspectives may be challenging, but should bring commonality-not division.

4.5 But only because it took me a bit to adjust to the style of writing & struggled getting into it in the first chapter. But Once I got into the flow of it I didn't want to put it down
Great read!
