false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166574754m/13927.jpg 13927 14 Second of the Sevenwaters trilogy of novels about the last days of heroic Ireland, <I>Son of the Shadows</I> takes up the story of the children of Sorcha, who saved her enchanted brothers, and Hugh, the Briton she married. Sorcha's daughter Liadan is a gifted seer and healer who thinks, in spite of her visions, that she knows what the future has in store for her--caring for her dying mother and then an alliance marriage to Eamonn. A chance meeting on the road carries her off to care for a dying man--one of the mercenaries of the sinister Painted Man, Eamonn's archenemy and a killer for hire. Liadan discovers that she cannot choose whom she loves and that she and the Painted Man are as bound up in destiny as her mother and father were before her. <p> This is an intelligent historical romance in which the supernatural is a part of the character's everyday lives to an extent that makes it hard to think of the book as specifically a fantasy--these are people to whom the beings of forest speak on a regular basis and to whom sorcery is real. <I>--Roz Kaveney, Amazon.co.uk</I> 2801045 book 1999 Son of the Shadows (The Sevenwaters Trilogy, Book 2) total:1795|5:53|4:31|3:19|2:2|1:1| 1795 7670 2288 163 5 4 false false Sat Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2002 Wed Sep 12 05:50:35 -0700 2007 Tue Jun 16 19:50:34 -0700 2009 a LOT more...]]> 3 2 false false Sun Sep 21 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 10 10:37:58 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 21 17:08:28 -0700 2008
