About this listen

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.

The stories are well written but the lack of continuity in narrator for the series is disengaging. The difference in pronunciation of names, and the difference in tone was off-putting for me. Roslyn Landor did not suit this series.

change in narrator over series disengaging

A wonderful sequel to Daughter of the Forest which I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend. As Juliet Marillier is one of my favourite authors I own print copies of most of her books. I am loving the Audible editions and switching between the two formats as desired.
Whilst I missed the previous book's narrator, Rosalyn Landor performance is also well done.
I particularly enjoyed the tales told by some of the characters.

A beautifully crated sequel
