Heir to Sevenwaters
In 'Heir to Sevenwaters,' Juliet Marillier returns to the mystical world of Sevenwaters, where the chieftains have long been custodians of a vast and mysterious forest.
The story centers on Clodagh, the third daughter of Lord Sean of Sevenwaters, who is known for her practical nature and dedication to managing the household.
As her mother, Lady Aisling, faces a late-in-life pregnancy, Clodagh takes on increased responsibilities.
The family's joy over the birth of a male heir turns to despair when the newborn is abducted by the Fair Folk and replaced with a changeling.
Recognizing the changeling's cries, Clodagh names him Becan and embarks on a perilous journey into the Otherworld to rescue her brother.
Accompanied by Cathal, a brooding and mysterious warrior, Clodagh confronts the powerful prince of the Otherworld, Mac Dara, in a tale that weaves adventure, enduring love, and the interplay between human and fey realms.
