About this listen

Magic is fading... and the ways of Man are driving the Old Ones to the West, beyond the ken of humankind. The ancient groves are being destroyed, and if nothing is done, Ireland will lose its essential mystic core. The prophecies of long ago have foretold a way to prevent this horror, and it is the Sevenwaters clan that the spirits of Eire look to for salvation. They are a family bound into the lifeblood of the land, and their promise to preserve the magic has been the cause of great joy to them... as well as great sorrow.

It is up to Fianne, daughter of Niamh, the lost sister of Sevenwaters, to solve the riddles of power. A shy child of a reclusive sorcerer, she finds that her way is hard: She is the granddaughter of the wicked sorceress Oonagh, who has emerged from the shadows and seeks to destroy all that Sevenwaters has striven for. Oonagh will use Fianne most cruelly to accomplish her ends, and stops at nothing to see her will done. Will Fianne be strong enough to battle this evil and save those she has come to love?

amazing story! Amazing book! and perfectly read out, Heather O'Neill narrated this story so well, with the characters sounding different and a voice that makes you want to continue listening

perfect

I am ready for the next book, hoping the consistency of pronunciation is better. I was disappointed by the way Liarden (not sure of spelling) was pronounced in this book.

A great continuation of the story, Sometimes the sounds change a little like a few lines were added in here and there, that is distracting but the story and performance is good, I find being in the first person it’s fitting that each book is narrated by someone new

Great Adventure

The volume of the narrator increases and decreases frequently making you constantly change the volume which is rather irritating

Great Story but Volume changes frequently

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The editing of the narration is horribly obvious. Also, the narrator pronounces the character's names differently to the way they were pronounced in book 2 (which was different book 1), it's very annoying!

Good story, Terrible production
