1928, Paris: A boy is found, moments from death, and taken
in by a kindly family. Gentle, precocious, talented, he
flourishes in his new home, and the family show him a life he
hadn't dreamed possible. But he refuses to speak a word
about who he really is.
As he grows into a young man, falling in love and taking
classes at the prestigious Conservatoire de Paris, he can
almost forget the terrors of his past, or the promise he has
vowed to keep. But across Europe an evil is rising, and noone's safety is certain. In his heart, he knows the time will
come where he must flee once more.
2008, the Aegean: The seven sisters are gathered together
for the first time, on board the Titan to say a final goodbye
to the enigmatic father they loved so dearly.
To the surprise of everyone, it is the missing sister who Pa
Salt has chosen to entrust with the clue to their pasts. But
for every truth revealed, another question emerges. The
sisters must confront the idea that their adored father was
someone they barely knew. And even more shockingly: that
these long-buried secrets may still have consequences for
them today.
Lucinda Riley was born in 1965 in Ireland and, after an early career as an actress in film, theatre and television, wrote her first novel aged twenty-four. Her books have been translated into forty languages and continue to strike an emotional chord with cultures all around the world. The Seven Sisters series specifically has become a global phenomenon, creating its own genre, and there are plans to create a multi-season TV series.
Her books have been nominated for numerous awards, including the Italian Bancarella Prize, the Lovely Books Award in Germany, and the Romantic Novel of the Year Award. In 2020 she received the Dutch Platinum Award for sales over 300,000 copies for a single novel in one year – a prize last won by J. K. Rowling for Harry Potter.
In collaboration with her son Harry Whittaker, she also devised and wrote a series of books for children called The Guardian Angels.
Though she brought up her four children mostly in Norfolk in England, in 2015 she fulfilled her dream of buying a remote farmhouse in West Cork, Ireland, which she always felt was her spiritual home, and indeed this was where her last five books were written.
Lucinda was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and died on 11 June 2021, surrounded by her family.
