Child of the Prophecy
Child of the Prophecy: Book Three of the Sevenwaters Trilogy | Juliet Marillier
7 posts | 45 read | 14 to read
Child of the Prophecy is the thrilling conclusion to Juliet Marillier's award-winning Sevenwaters Trilogy.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?

TrishB Loved these 👍🏻 6y
Yeah_I_Read @TrishB I love her books! I‘ve read a few her other series but I somehow hadn‘t gotten to this one yet. Im really enjoying it. I feel she is very underrated as far as popularity here in the US. 6y
TrishB I stumbled on her by chance when I found a trilogy in the library!! The Bridei Chronicles are brilliant! 6y
Yeah_I_Read @TrishB I found her by accident as well lol. The first series I read of hers was Shadowfell and now I‘ve read The Bridei Chronicles and her Blackthorn and Grim series also 6y
Dietz123 I loved Shadowfell, and the sequel. #3 fell flat for me. Her books are hit and miss for me. 6y

This was the book of the original Sevenwaters trilogy that I remembered the least from since I didn't love it quite as much as the first two, so it was almost like reading it for the first time! Doubly interesting to read now that at least three more books have been added with this world and family.

So aggravated. Listening to the third in a trilogy and the audio interpreter decides all the names are pronounced differently! DRASTICALLY different! Did NOBODY think to check the other volumes? Audio is a bail!!!

Books Set By the Sea:

The last book in one of my favorite trilogies. Much of this takes place in an island at sea, on ships, and also has a wonderful, melancholy, myth-redolent ending involving selkies. 🌊🐚
