Books in Order: A Comprehensive Guide to Juliet Marillier's Works

Juliet Marillier grew up in Dunedin, New Zealand, and now writes from a century-old cottage near a river in Western Australia — a fittingly storybook setting for a historical fantasy author steeped in folklore. Her spiritual life shapes the work too: she is a member of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, and her fiction treats the old beliefs with genuine seriousness. Five Aurealis Awards and four Sir Julius Vogel Awards suggest how well that approach has landed.

This guide covers her Sevenwaters novels: seven books published between 1999 and 2012, opening with Daughter of the Forest and closing with Flame of Sevenwaters. Magic here serves the human story rather than spectacle, which is much of why these books earn such lasting devotion.
