The first book of The Sevenwaters Trilogy by Juliet Marillier.An adaptation of the Grimms' fairy tale The Six Swans, set in 9th-century Ireland. The story centers around Sorcha, a young girl who lives in Sevenwaters with her six older brothers and her father. She takes on the perilous task of healing one of her father’s captives, a wild young man named Simon who is beset by nightmares. Her situation only gets worse when her brothers force her to abandon her charge and return home - their father is engaged to another woman and she is demanding that Sorcha meet her. Her new stepmother, Lady Oonagh, quickly puts the entire household under a spell, ultimately turning Sorcha’s brothers into swans.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The youngest sibling is tasked with rescuing them in the most horrific way possible: she must weave six shirts from the fibers of a thorny plant, but she must not cry out in pain or ask for help or tell anyone her story - she is forbidden to speak at all. Complications arise when she falls into enemy hands, and she learns that appearances and emotions can be quite deceiving to all kinds of people.

Aerith and Bob: All the Irish names are period-appropriate, but it may seem strange to modern readers who aren’t familiar with Irish names like Sorcha, Niamh, Finbar, or Diarmid beside English ones like Ben, Richard, John, or Anne.

Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder: Subverted; Eilis marries another lord after Liam goes missing, but it’s an arranged marriage against her will. Subverted similarly with Elaine and Simon; Elaine is to marry Red after Simon’s disappearance, but never stops loving Simon. It’s implied they will eventually marry after Simon returns and Red breaks their betrothal.
