Daughter of the Forest
by Juliet Marillier
Lord Colum of Sevenwaters is blessed with six sons: Liam, a natural
leader; Diarmid, with his passion for adventure; twins Cormack and
Conor, each with a different calling; rebellious Finbar, grown
old before his time by his gift of the Sight; and the young,
compassionate Padriac.
But it is Sorcha, the seventh child and only daughter, too young
to have known her mother, who alone is destined to defend her
family and protect her land from the Britons and the clan known
as Northwoods. For her father has been bewitched, and her brothers
bound by a spell that only Sorcha can lift.
To reclaim the lives of her brothers, Sorcha leaves the only
safe place she has ever known, and embarks on a journey filled
with pain, loss, and terror.
When she is kidnapped by enemy forces and taken to a foreign land,
it seems that there will be no way for her to break the spell
that condemns all that she loves. But magic knows no boundaries,
and Sorcha will have to choose between the life she has always
known and a love that comes only once.
