They also kill Linn, and her brothers find her hurt and bleeding. One day, she is raped by two brutal men, who are led to her by the village idiot, who thought her a faery. Her brothers are able to visit her twice a year as humans as she labors on her task to make shirts out of starwort, a needle-like plant whose touch is poison and disfigures the hands.
Sorcha agrees to this and spends several years in the forest, hiding from Oonagh as she works on the shirts.Īt first she survives in the Forest, relying on the help of the Fair Folk and her only companion-her brother Cormack's dog, Linn. Sorcha learns that if she can spin six shirts from the painful starwort, remaining absolutely silent until the last one is completed, she can free her brothers from Oonagh's spell. What follows is a twist on the classic tale of "The Six Swans". Sorcha's brothers, however, are turned into swans.
When her father's new wife, the Lady Oonagh, attacks Sorcha and her brothers, Sorcha alone is able to escape. She is more or less ignored by her father. Sorcha, the youngest child of Irish Lord Colum of Sevenwaters, loses her mother at childbirth, and is raised almost entirely by her six older brothers.
