Heart's blood by Juliet Marillier
At its heart, like the other books in the Sevenwaters series, this story is a romance. [a:Juliet Marillier|8649|Juliet Marillier|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1373081365p2/8649.jpg] manages to wrap it in layers of mystery, with seers and druids, warriors and mer-folk, family and foes.
I realized early on that Svala was some kind of mer-person, probably connected to the sea serpent/dragon, but I did not figure out how Knut was controlling her . Even with that realization, the story held enough twists and turns that I had no problem staying intrigued.
This is a well-written, engaging tale. I look forward to the concluding novel in the Sevenwaters series.… (more)

With the first three books in the Sevenwaters series resolving the major plot lines, this installment opens a new arc while maintaining a strong connection to the initial trilogy. While the romantic triangle is a bit predictable, Marillier takes it in unexpected and yet satisfying directions. The author also continues her themes of the consequences of not sharing information, the high cost of lying by omission, the importance of loyalty, and the strength of hope. And at the heart, the indomitable power of love. I am looking forward to continuing this series.… (more)
