Shortlisted for two awards in 2013, Flame of Sevenwaters is the latest instalment in the epic Sevenwaters series by bestselling author Juliet Marillier. This “gripping tale of enduring love” (Publishers Weekly) is set in the fantasy world of 9th century Britain and Ireland. Burned and crippled as a child, Maeve (daughter of Lord Sean of Sevenwaters) healed in the care of her uncle and aunt in Britain. Ten years later, with the gift to heal animals, she reluctantly returns home only to find Sevenwaters enslaved by Prince Mac Dara, a force of malignant magic. A group of travellers disappear and Maeve discovers the body of one of the missing men. Together with her enigmatic young brother and his druid tutor, Maeve goes on a dangerous quest that challenges Mac Dara's rule. This could lead to a hideous death or a realisation of her powers. Lovers of Celtic mythology and romance will enjoy this tale "filled with ... satisfying twists and turns of plot" (California Bookwatch, Jan 2013).
