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?
