Stunning Lord Colum of Sevenwaters has just one kid, Sorcha, who is the eighth. Her six loving and protective brothers provide her solace despite the fact that she is motherless. They are certain that Sorcha is the sole source of happiness in their life as she is their light.
Sorcha's happiness is dashed, however, when her father falls prey to a wicked sorceress who has taken over his marriage and is using magic to bound her siblings. The only way Sorcha can break this spell is by remaining quiet. She will never get her brothers back if she talks before finishing the mission that the Fair Folk and their queen, the Lady of the Forest, have set for her.
When Sorcha's brothers are abducted by Sevenwaters' adversaries and sent to an unknown country, she has to choose between her one-time love and her determination to rescue them. Sorcha loses hope that she will ever be able to finish her assignment, but love is the most powerful magic of all, and the Fair Folk's magic has no bounds.
