About the book
'A gripping retelling of an ancient tale. I loved it' John Gwynne
Betrayal. Magic. Murder.
A tale of three siblings and three deadly sins.
A delight for fans of Madeline Miller's Circe.
King Cadors children inherit a land abandoned by the Romans, torn by warring tribes. Riva can cure others, but cant heal her own scars. Keyne battles to be seen as the kings son, although born a daughter. And Sinne dreams of love, longing for adventure.
All three fear a life of confinement within the walls of the hold, their peoples last bastion of strength against the invading Saxons. However, change comes on the day ash falls from the sky bringing Myrdhin, meddler and magician. The siblings discover the power that lies within them and the land. But fate also brings Tristan, a warrior whose secrets will tear them apart.
Riva, Keyne and Sinne become entangled in a web of treachery and heartbreak, and must fight to forge their own paths. Its a story that will shape the destiny of Britain.
Sistersong by Lucy Holland retells the folk ballad, The Two Sisters - now including the perspective of the sibling 'that time forgot'. Its a powerfully moving story, perfect for fans of Naomi Noviks Uprooted and Katherine Ardens The Bear and the Nightingale.
