Magic is fading.... and the ways of Man are driving the Old Ones to the West, beyond the ken of humankind. The ancient groves are being destroyed, and if nothing is done, Ireland will lose its essential mystic core. The prophecies of long ago have foretold a way to prevent this horror, and it is the Sevenwaters clan that the Spirits of Eire look to for salvation. They are a family bound into the lifeblood of the land, and their promise to preserve the magic has been the cause of great joy to them.... as well as great sorrow.It is up to Fianne, daughter of Niamh, the lost sister of Sevenwaters, to solve the riddles of power. She is the shy child of a reclusive sorcerer, and her way is hard, for her father is the son of the wicked sorceress Oonagh, who has emerged from the shadows and seeks to destroy all that Sevenwaters has striven for. Oonagh will use her granddaughter Fianne most cruelly to accomplish her ends, and stops at nothing to see her will done. Will Fianne be strong enough to battle this evil and save those she has come to love?

    Amazing.

    The principal character of the Sevenwaters Trilogy is always a woman (Daughter of the Forest -> Sorcha; Son of the Shadows -> Liadan), and even in this last romance the heroine is a girl: her name in Fainne; she's different from Sorcha and Liadan, because of her voluntair loneliness, her strong will and her rejectment towards love and friendship.

    She's the daughter of Niamh and Ciaràn, and she carries the inheritance of four different generations, but she won't understand it. She believes herself an evil creature, because of her sorceress nature.

    A person doesn't choose his family. The blood in his veins can't influence his entire life... Or can it? Is it possible to rebel against who use your lover's life against you? Is it right to sacrifice many innocent lifes to save the one you love?

    It's a powerful, painful and interesting tale full of death, love, struggle for power and thoughs about our own nature.

    I enjoyed this book very much.
