Liadan has inherited her mother Sorcha's talent to heal and to see into the spirit world. The forest spirits warn Liadan that she must remain forever at Sevenwaters if the sacred isles are to be won back from the British. For they have seen in her future a doomed romance; death; a child; and a terrible choice to be made.
Then Liadan is taken captive by the feared and reviled mercenary, the Painted Man. He is revealed to be a man quite unlike his legend and Liadan is drawn to him, despite the ancient prophesy of doom. Can she reclaim her life and defy the spirits, or will a curse fall upon Sevenwaters because of her forbidden love?
Son of the Shadows establishes Juliet Marillier as an extraordinary new talent, and follows her remarkable debut novel, Daughter of the Forest
'I enjoyed it enormously. It is a fantasy, full of the magic of the Celtic night, but it has that wonderful all-important fell of reality… a wonderful, riveting story'
