The second book in the series mentioned earlier is Son of the Shadows also by Juliet Marillier. In this second one your are transitioned into (HINT SPOILER: YOU WERE WARNED) the daughter of Sorcha. In this book Liadan daughter of Sorcha takes over the reins of this story also with her brother Sean and her sister, Niahm. In this story there is more conflict with related characters and an address to the discrimination in early time between Irish and English. I like it how the author transitions your love for the character Sorcha into the character of Liadan. Thats it for now thank you Chris for being my first reader!!
