What is
the Ormond
Singularity?
Queen Elizabeth I’s last will and testament contained a
codicil known as the ‘Ormond Singularity’ granting the heirs
of the Tenth Earl of Ormond a royal inheritance.
The inheritance is made up of two parts.
The first is a right to lands and a title—the Earl of Ormond.
The second part is a fortune in gold and jewels.
Only the first-born male of each generation has the
opportunity to inherit the lands and title but anyone can steal
the fortune… if they can find it! The gold and jewels have
been hidden for centuries; the Ormond Jewel and Riddle
hold the clues to their location. Together they form a double
key code; however, the curse of the Singularity has defeated
everyone who has ever tried to solve the mystery.
