Child of the Prophecy

by Juliet Marillier · 2003

Child of the Prophecy is the concluding novel of Juliet Marillier's Sevenwaters Trilogy, a historical fantasy set in ninth‑century Ireland. The story follows Fainne, a sorcerer's daughter raised in Kerry, who is drawn back to the Sevenwaters clan to confront a prophecy that demands a child of mixed blood to reclaim the sacred islands. As ancient magic wanes and human ambition threatens the old ways, Fainne must navigate family loyalty, a cruel grandmother's schemes, and her own growing powers to decide the fate of the land.
