Son Of The Shadows: Juliet Marillier

Book II of the Sevenwaters Trilogy. After years of happiness, darkness has fallen upon Ulster; trouble is brewing and even those in the heart of the forest are not safe. Of the three children of Sevenwaters, it is not golden-haired Niamh nor the young heir Sean who holds the key - it seems to be Liadan, with the gift of Sight and her mother's talent for healing. Liadan's road will be torturous; she must journey into the shadowy world of the Painted Man and his warriors, walking a fine line between right and wrong if she is to succeed in bringing peace - or must she risk the safety of her family?
