Blogger's Note: Awesome book! A total 5/5 for this one! I kindda skipped a few chapters... don't blame me... =7 I was too anxious! >.<  i would rate it PG13 though.... But it's still awesome! One of the best books I have ever read. I bought it in a second-hand-books sale at Singapore.... S$10 for 3 books... along with Ice Dragon. I never regretted it even though it was a spontaneous decision.  >.<  Yup... I'm pretty much an instinctive person... =D  <3 U guys! Saber... >0<


Synopsis: A story, a life that beats with it's very own heart, touching other's life. This is such tale.  A retold of  "The Six Swans" with a few beautiful twist and turns set in the ancient Ireland.  After all six of her brothers are turned into swans by her stepmother, Schora was forced to weave six shirts out of the spindly plant- the starwort that hurt her tender hands at the very touch and swear an oath of silence to save her brothers. Being the child left of Lord Colum of the Sevenwaters, she fled to a rural part of the forest and started her silent quest with only her dog for companion. After being almost drowned, she's saved by none other than the enemy of her warring country, a British. The British nobleman Hugh of Harrowfield rescued her while searching for his brother, Simon.  He took her with him, back to England, after being almost killed by the local people only to be saved by the spirits of the forest. Will Schora keep her oath of silence? And what hardships will she face in England? READ THE STORY!!!!!!!! WHOOO  HOOOO!!!!!!!!
