Set in the forests of Northern Ireland, this is truly the most exquisite book I have ever read. Sorcha is the seventh child and only daughter of Lord Colum of Sevenwaters. Her mother died giving birth to her, and consequently she became 'one of the boys'. When a mysterious prisoner arrives at her home, and a new evil is seen at Sevenwaters, Sorcha is the only one who can save her family and her home.
Rich in Celtic folklore and history, Daughter of the Forest is captivating, you won't be able to put this book down. This book is mainly an adult book, but is appropriate for teens 14+. This is the first book of a trilogy.
Juliet Marillier resides in Australia, and has written many books of historical fantasy. Some of these include the Picts, the Norse vikings and Transylvanian folklore.
