Synopsis
In the Celtic land of Eileanan, witches and magic have been outlawed, and those caught for practicing witchcraft are put to death! It is a land ruled by an evil Queen, where sea-dwelling Fairgean stir, and children vanish in the night. But in a valley deep in the mountains, young Isabeau grows to womanhood under the guidance of an elderly witch, and must set out on a quest, carrying the last hopes of the persecuted witches.
Library Journal
In a land where witchcraft has been forbidden, young Isabeau learns the old ways in order to take her place in the battle to overcome the forces that threaten her world. Australian poet Forsyth's fantasy debut details a richly imagined universe with a distinctly Celtic flavor and introduces a resourceful and courageous protagonist. This first novel in a projected trilogy belongs in libraries where the demand for epic fantasy is high.

March 09, 2009: I hated for this book to end and couldn't wait to move on to the next one in the series! The characters are engrossing and really stick with with you. The story line is unexpected. You won't want to put it down.
I Also Recommend: The Pool of Two Moons, The Cursed Towers, The Forbidden Land.

June 23, 2008: My friend recommended this series to me and when I sat down to read it, it started out difficult with the language and terms, however those things didn't take long before they were 'normal' to my reading of the book. I love this series so much, I'm on book 5 right now and I've also flown through the first 4 books because I can't seem to put them down! It's an amazing world to be sucked into and I have to say the language and terms really helps build the entire picture!!!! Highly recommend this series!!!
