A wicked woman, an evil curse, and a love that must triumph over impossible odds...

Set in the Celtic twilight of ancient Ireland, when myth was law and magic a force of nature, this is the tale of Sorcha, seventh child of a seventh son, the forbidding Lord Colum, and of her seven beloved brothers.

The keep at Sevenwaters is a remote, strange, quiet place, guarded by silent me who slip through the woodlands clothed in grey, and keep their weapons sharp. For there are invaders outside the forest: raiders from across the seas. Britons and Vikings bent on destruction. But now there is also an invader inside the keep: Lady Oonagh, a sorceress as fair as day, but with a heart as black as night. Oonagh captivates Lord Colum with her sensual wiles: but she cannot enchant the wary Sorcha. Frustrated in her attempts to destroy the family Oonagh binds the brothers with a aspell that only Sorcha can lift. If she fails, they will die.

Then the raiders come, and Sorcha is taken captive. Soon she will find herself torn between her duty to break the curse, and a growing, forbidden love for the warlord who is her captor.
