Publisher Description
The Seven Sisters is the story that began it all. An epic tale of love and loss, it tells the stories of the D’Aplièse sisters, all adopted as babies by the enigmatic billionaire they affectionately call Pa Salt.
This is Maia’s story. When Pa Salt dies suddenly, the bereaved sisters gather together at their childhood home, a spectacular secluded castle on the shores of Lake Geneva. Each of them is handed a tantalising clue to their heritage and Maia finds herself on a journey across the world to a crumbling mansion in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Eighty years earlier, Izabela Bonifacio’s father has aspirations for her to marry into the aristocracy. But Izabela longs for adventure, and convinces him to allow her to first travel to Paris. In the heady, vibrant streets of the city, Izabela meets an ambitious young sculptor, and knows at once that her life will never be the same again.
What links these two young women? In the beautiful city of Rio, will Maia find the answers she needs to understand who she truly is?
The Seven Sisters is the first book in the spellbinding Seven Sisters series, inspired by the mythology of the famous star constellation. It is followed by The Storm Sister.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This mesmerising novel begins Lucinda Riley’s ambitious, female-led series of the same name. Inspired by the mythological tale of Atlas’ seven daughters–who, it was said, were transformed into a star constellation called Pleiades–Riley’s series offers powerful new stories focusing on each daughter in turn. Here, we meet the eldest, Maia, at the moment her adoptive father Pa Salt dies. After he leaves her a letter containing clues about her birth and heritage, Maia travels across the world. And as we join her journey of self-discovery, The Seven Sisters unfolds into an evocative story of female friendship, family and love. Thankfully, this is only the start of an epic series: Riley’s storytelling is simply too wondrous for just one instalment.
