MAEVE, FIGLIA DI LORD SEAN di Sevenwaters, è rimasta gravemente ustionata da bambina e porta il ricordo di quel fuoco nelle sue mani deformi. Quando, dopo dieci anni di assenza, torna a casa, è ormai una donna coraggiosa e schietta. Le cicatrici del corpo sono guarite, non altrettanto quelle dell''anima. Per di più Sevenwaters è in subbuglio. Il principe del Popolo Fatato Mac Dara desidera disperatamente che il suo unico figlio Cathal, sposato con la sorella di Maeve, torni nell''Altromondo, e per convincere Lord Sean è arrivato a uccidere degli innocenti. Quando i cadaveri delle sue vittime vengono scoperti, appare chiaro che bisogna trovare un modo per fermarlo. Ma chi può farlo e come? Quale forza umana potrebbe sconfiggere il potere della magia? Toccherà a Maeve e al suo misterioso fratellino Finbar intraprendere un viaggio che potrebbe decretare la fine del regno di Mac Dara o condurli a una morte orribile. Ma se avrà successo, Maeve potrebbe aprire le porte a un futuro che non ha osato credere possibile.

Award-winning author Juliet Marillier "weaves magic, mythology, and folklore into every sentence on the page" (The Book Smugglers). Now she begins an all-new and enchanting series that will transport readers to a magical vision of ancient Ireland.... In exchange for help escaping her long and wrongful imprisonment, embittered magical healer Blackthorn has vowed to set aside her bid for vengeance against the man who destroyed all that she once held dear. Followed by a former prison mate, a silent hulk of a man named Grim, she travels north to Dalriada. There she'll live on the fringe of a mysterious forest, duty bound for seven years to assist anyone who asks for her help. Oran, crown prince of Dalriada, has waited anxiously for the arrival of his future bride, Lady Flidais. He knows her only from a portrait and sweetly poetic correspondence that have convinced him Flidais is his destined true love. But Oran discovers letters can lie. For although his intended exactly resembles her portrait, her brutality upon arrival proves she is nothing like the sensitive woman of the letters. With the strategic marriage imminent, Oran sees no way out of his dilemma. Word has spread that Blackthorn possesses a remarkable gift for solving knotty problems, so the prince asks her for help. To save Oran from his treacherous nuptials, Blackthorn and Grim will need all their resources: courage, ingenuity, leaps of deduction, and more than a little magic.
