Juliet answered fish!'s question: Hi! I recently saw The Amber Owl being promoted on Instagram and I was wondering if it’s for a younger audience or for adults? I love your sevenwaters series!! The Amber Owl is for adult readers, though it might also be OK for the older end of YA (age 16+) if they are mature readers. I hope you give it a try! It's the first in a two book series.

Quotes by Juliet Marillier (?)

“If a man has to say trust me, Gogu conveyed, it's a sure sign you cannot. Trust him, that is. Trust is a thing you know without words.”
― Juliet Marillier, Wildwood Dancing

“He would have told her - he would have said, it matters not if you are here or there, for I see you before me every moment. I see you in the light of the water, in the swaying of the young trees in the spring wind. I see you in the shadows of the great oaks, I hear your voice in the cry of the owl at night. You are the blood in my veins, and the beating of my heart. You are my first waking thought, and my last sigh before sleeping. You are - you are bone of my bone, and breath of my breath.”
― Juliet Marillier, Daughter of the Forest

“So you do believe in... true love? she whispered.
I took a deep breath, I think I have to, I said, blinking back tears. Without it, we're all going nowhere.”
