Syn cieni to drugi tom cyklu Siedmiorzecze, bestsellerowej serii autorstwa Juliet Marillier. Siedmiorzecze zawiera w sobie mieszankę historii i fantastyki, mitu i magii, legendy i miłości. Podobnie jak Mgły Avalonu autorstwa Marion Zimmer Bradley oraz Klan Niedźwiedzia Jaskiniowego Jean M. Auel, jest to pierwszorzędne historyczne fantasy, przyciągające niezwykłą emocjonalnością i epickim rozmachem. Syn cieni to dalszy ciąg historii pięknej Sorchy, odważnej młodej kobiety, która rzuciła na szalę swój los, by wyzwolić rodzinę spod wpływu przewrotnej klątwy, a jej miłość położyła kres pielęgnowanej od pokoleń nienawiści i połączyła dwie krainy. Dzięki poświęceniu Sorchy jej rodzeństwo wróciło do Siedmiorzecza, a ona sama w końcu zaznała szczęścia. Jednak nie wszyscy bracia zdołali w pełni wyrwać się spod władzy zaklęcia, które zmieniło ich w łabędzie, a ci, którym się to udało, nie są już tacy sami.

Zła kobieta, klątwa i miłość, która musi przezwyciężyć wszelkie przeciwności losu. Osadzona u schyłku starożytnej Irlandii, gdzie mity były prawem, a magia mocą natury, jest to historia Sorchy, siódmej córki siódmego syna, posępnego Lorda Columa i jej sześciu kochanych braci. Lord Colum z Siedmiorzecza został pobłogosławiony sześcioma synami: Liamem, naturalnym przywódcą; Diarmidem, którego pasją są przygody; bliźniakami Cormackiem i Connorem, każdym z innym powołaniem; zbuntowanym Finbarem, znacznie dojrzalszym niżby wskazywał na to wiek, a wszystko to przez jego dar oraz młodym, współczującym Padriackiem. Lecz to Sorcha, jego siódme dziecko, a zarazem jedyna córka, zostaje skazana na samotną obronę swojej rodziny i ziem. Wszystko to dlatego, że jej ojciec został oczarowany, a na jej braci rzucono zaklęcie, które tylko Sorcha może złamać. By ocalić życie swoich braci, Sorcha opuszcza jedyne bezpieczne miejsce, jakie do tej pory znała i wyrusza w podróż pełną bólu, straty i przerażenia.
