the daughter of the forest

book one of the sevenwaters trilogy


"The seven of us are as the parts of one body. If we are torn asunder, it may seem as if there is no tomorrow for us. But like pools in the same stream, we must meet and part and meet again. We belong to the flow of the lake and to the deep beating heart of the Forest."- sorcha

"My heart. Your heart."-Sorcha

.."It matters not if you are here, or there, for I see you before me every moment.....You are the blood in my veins, and the beating of my heart. You are my first waking thought, and my last sigh before sleeping. You are-you are bone of my bone, and breath of my breath."-Red
