Beautiful Sorcha is the courageous young woman who risked all to save her family from a wicked curse and whose love shattered generations of hate and bridged two cultures. It is from her sacrifice that Sorcha's brothers were brought home to their ancestral fortress Sevenwaters, and her life has known much joy. But not all the brothers were able to fully escape the spell that transformed them into swans, and it is left to Sorcha's daughter Liadan to help fulfill the destiny of the Sevenwaters clan. Beloved child and dutiful daughter, Liadan embarks on a journey that shows her just how hard-won was the peace that she has known all her life.Liadan will need all of her courage to help save her family, for there are dark forces and ancient powers conspiring to destroy this family's peace--and their world. And she will need all of her strength to stand up to those she loves best, for in the finding of her own true love, Liadan's course may doom them all . . . or be their salvation.

    Lovely book, especially in the middle, when Liadan meets Bran and the whole time she spends with her poor sister, Niahm.

    Sadly it disappoints me at the end, probably because it was pretty predictable. I expected more tension, more "fights" between Liadan and Eamon (I found him a very intersting villain).
    I think the first one, The Daughter of The Forest, was far better than this, but there's another one to be read, and it often happens that the second book of a trilogy is the weakest.
    Three stars by the way, Juliet Marillier deserves all of them.

  • It's delightful. It was quite predictable that she'd have fall in love with Bran, but it doesn't matter.

    The book is amazing, really. I couldn't stop reading it. Wanna read the 3rd one!
