Summary
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.

A magnificent read by Rosalyn Landor. An ability to pull you into this story with a voice that's both soothing and hypnotic.

Great once past all the tedious domestic stuff!
Exciting and interesting picture of magical old Ireland. The male voices were n't good, they all sounded rather boring and sensible apart from Bran and his crew.

Juliet Marillier
As usual another great seven water book.if you love Juliet, sadly having American accents reading Irish stories. Surely Juliet should insist on authentic accent.D.Wallace

Amazing story
Brilliant continuation of the Sevenwaters stories - took awhile to get used to the new voice after the first book, but still brilliantly done.

Spellbinding 💫
Juliete is an amazing author, this book series has me completely hooked. The narrator this time was far easier on the ear and was able to pronounce Irish names properly, the story picked up almost 18 years after the 1st book and it felt as if it flowed seamlessly. A pleasure to listen too. I was completely captivated by Liadan and Brans relationship.

Great follow up in the series, bring on the next!
The characters are so well developed in each book. It does draw you into the series nicely. There some great page turner periods. A thoroughly good read. But have to say the narrator in this book struggled with the male voices, they all sounded the same. If the book were not so well written you could have become confused in places.
Overall highly recommend!

unexpected great story, sucked me right in
story great, narrator great. Only confusing thing is the antagonism between Brits and Irish at this point in history (any point before 1000); by Brits does she mean Saxons or the Brittons ( former Celts)? Cpuld be mistaken, but I think the real problems between 'England' and Eire started after the Norman invasion when most of Brythonic culture died out. In this era, Brittons were just the remnants of the ancient Celts, ravaged by Rome and encroached upon by Saxons, but still with their Celtic language.

Dark, romantic folk tale
This second installment of the Sevenwaters series is just as captivating and compelling as the first, packed full of adventure, villainy, mystery love and heartache.

Romance and struggle
An audio reread of another great book by Juliet Marillier. I remembered less of the second of the Sevenwaters series although I certainly remembered Bran who is one of her most memorable male characters. Great story. I much preferred the narrator of this book to that of Daughter of the Forest - better voice to listen to, great male voices and better pronunciation of the Irish names. Recommended if you like fantasy and romance with great characters but also like a strong storyline.

Fabulous story telling
I love the intertwined stories of each family. The relationships have great depth. I would like some more reference to other Characters feeling but I understand it is the heroes voice we hear. The strength of one so overlooked is timeless..
