The second book of ''Literature/TheSevenwatersTrilogy''. Written by Creator/JulietMarillier.
Set almost twenty years after ''Literature/DaughterOfTheForest'', the story centers on Liadan, the second daughter of Red and Sorcha. During a religious gathering, she begins to feel uneasy and has disturbing visions of the future. In the midst of trying to figure out what her sister is up to, why her friend Eamonn is courting her and how to keep her mother alive, she is abducted by a group of mercenaries. She is charged with healing a fallen member of their group under the watchful eye of their leader, the Painted Man. Despite constantly arguing and insulting each other, they come to depend on each other for help and comfort.
After she returns home, she finds the noose of an ancient prophesy tightening itself around her neck and that of her unborn child. She also discovers a sinister plot that threatens to destroy her family and friends. Liadan must walk a fine line between right and wrong to save those she holds dear. But it will not be easy. Loyalties will be tested, risks must be taken, and the prophesy looms large over her head.

* ConverseWithTheUnconscious: Liadan speaks to [[spoiler: Bran]] to bring him back from the dead.
** She also talks to her unborn child frequently.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Want to know why the Painted Man acts the way he does?
** The rest of his crew is made of this trope. Each of them had no future until Bran pulled them out of their funk and made them a part of his team.
* DistressedDamsel: Niamh. It’s minor before [[spoiler: her abusive marriage to Fionn]], but afterwards she becomes incapable of helping herself. Only Liadan’s planning and persistence save her from going back to [[spoiler: Fionn]].
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Eamonn]] seemed like a pretty decent guy until he didn't get what he wanted. Everything went downhill steadily until he decided to [[MoralEventHorizon try his hand at torture.]] His villainy is pretty much established by then.
* FreudianExcuse: Bran has some serious MommyIssues.
* IAmWho: Poor Ciaran doesn’t find out who he really is until he tries to marry Niamh. [[spoiler: Cue the following trope…]]
* IncestIsRelative: [[spoiler: Ciaran and Niamh’s relationship]] after her family drops the bomb on him.

* MayDecemberRomance: Seamus Redbeard and his teenage wife. Niamh is not amused.
* NowLetMeCarryYou: In return for rescuing him when he was at his lowest, [[spoiler: Gull carries Bran]] across the marsh to safety despite being tortured mercilessly just hours before their escape.
* RebelLeader: The Painted Man, also known as Bran.
** Also known as [[spoiler: Johnny, the baby Sorcha delivered for Margery in DaughterOfTheForest.]]
* ScaryBlackMan: Gull is the only dark skinned man in the group, he’s huge and his hands are incredibly disfigured. He gives Liadan and Niamh a fright when they first see him.
* ScrewDestiny: Liadan defies the FairFolk to their faces and takes her son away from the forest, essentially [[spoiler: taking him out of the prophesy.]]
* SecretRelationship: Both Niamh and Liadan keep their relationships secret from their families to try and protect themselves and their men. It doesn’t end well for either of them.
* SheIsAllGrownUp: Aisling was Sean’s childhood friend. It’s amazing what hormones can do to a friendship.

* Main/{{Tear Jerker}}: Red's last story to the [[spoiler: dying Sorcha]].
