Publishers Synopsis

In a magical ancient Britain, bards sing a story of treachery, love and death. This is that story. For fans of Madeline Millers Circe, Lucy Hollands Sistersong retells the folk ballad The Twa Sisters.

A beautiful reimagining of an old British folklore ballad, Sistersong weaves a captivating spell of myth and magic - Jennifer Saint, author of Ariadne

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 is a powerfully moving story, perfect for readers who loved Naomi Noviks Uprooted and Katherine Ardens The Bear and the Nightingale.
