Brida is the daughter of the goddess Callie and bound by a spell her mother has cast, she is held captive beneath Callie's mountain fortress. Longing to escape so that she may travel freely around the world, Brida has tried many ways in vain to break the spell but the visit of a prince from the world beyond the mountain may suggest ways in which her captivity can be ended.

We would like to thank Lyndsey Croal, Anthea Middleton, Sam Canning and Gillian Bowman for their invaluable help in casting for this drama
Daughter of Fire and Water began as a character origin tale for Lyndsey's in-progress young-adult fantasy novel, though it morphed into something quite different by the end. She'd like to thank Julie Bertagna for prompting her to explore this back story, and Scottish Book Trust for their support over the past year. Inspiration also came from Scottish folklorist Donald Alexander Mackenzie's interpretation of the Cailleach's story.
