From the Scottish Highlands and Spain to South America and New York, The Moon Sister is the fifth sweeping novel in Lucinda Riley’s bestselling Seven Sisters series—a mesmerizing family saga of love, loss, and self-discovery, inspired by the mythology of the legendary star constellation. Tiggy D’Aplièse spends her days reveling in the raw beauty of the Scottish Highlands, where she works at a deer sanctuary. But when the sanctuary is forced to close, she decides to take a job as a wildlife consultant on the vast estate of the elusive and troubled Charlie Kinnaird. She has no idea that the move will not only irrevocably alter her future, but also bring her face-to-face with her long-buried secrets. At the estate, she meets Chilly, an elderly Romani man who fled from Spain seventy years earlier. He tells her that not only does she possess a sixth sense passed down from her ancestors, but it was foretold long ago that he would be the one to send her back home. Back in 1912, in the poor Romani community outside the city walls of Granada, Lucía Amaya-Albaycin is born. At the tender age of ten, Lucía is whisked away by her ambitious father to dance in the flamenco bars of Barcelona. And while Lucía perfects her skills—eventually becoming the greatest flamenco dancer of her generation—tensions in Spain boil over into civil war, forcing Lucía and her troupe of dancers to flee for their lives. As they travel in search of a safe haven, Lucía’s long-held dream of going to New York may be in grasp. But to pursue it, she must choose between her love for her career and the man she adores. “A breathtaking adventure brimming with cruelty, tragedy, passion, [and] obsession” ( Lancashire Evening Post , UK), The Moon Sister is a moving multigenerational family story about uncovering the past and embracing one’s destiny—but at the risk of potentially losing the men they had hoped to build futures with.

I really wish it had been a better setting, but it wasn’t. It’s okay, really. Although…” I swallowed hard, wondering how on earth this conversation—or, more accurately, interview —had veered onto Pa Salt’s death. I was currently sitting in a stuffy hospital canteen opposite Dr. Charlie Kinnaird. Even as he’d entered, I’d noticed how his presence commanded attention.
