The Seven Sisters by Lucinda Riley is the first in a global phenomenon, sweeping, dual-timeline saga fiction.

Honest note: long and immersive by design, and book one of a complete eight-book series.

Pick of the Week.

One of them will die.

And then another. The police will call that an accident, too. But maybe they didn't see a reason to consider murder.

Available now for pre-order on bookshop.org/.

Here's another snippet 😬

A smoky background with a male guitarist standing before a microphone, his face in shadow. Features a quote from the novel The Cards We're Dealt by Rhian MacGillivray, which is: "Mark's words pierced a dense fog and hit Josh square in the chest. What had he done?"
