Recalling the lost Celtic past to life, this rich, magical story of loyalty and love is a new Mists of Avalon for readers of historical fantasy.
Raised in an isolated cove on the beautiful Kerry coast, Fainne's childhood
is a lonely one. But her beloved father, the exiled son of Sevenwaters,
teaches her all he knows of the magical arts, and every summer she looks
forward to the arrival of her one friend, the gypsy boy, Darragh. Soon,
though, her world will be changed for ever when her grandmother, the renowned
and feared sorceress Oonagh, enters her life. Oonagh tells Fainne that
she carries the blood of a cursed line of sorcerers and outcasts, and then
she burdens her with a terrible task. She sends her to the fortress of
Sevenwaters, to the family Fainne has never known, to use whatever powers
she can to thwart a prophecy that is near fulfilment... Child of the Prophecy
is a powerful and haunting conclusion to the Sevenwaters trilogy.
