"A feminist retelling, Sistersong beautifully intertwines myth and magic with historical figures and places to create a rich, wondrous, truly unique novel. It has everything you want in a good yarn—secrets and betrayal, love and loss, complex characters and a gripping plot." Tinabel

535 AD. In the ancient kingdom of Dumnonia, King Cador's children inherit a fragmented land abandoned by the Romans.

Riva, scarred in a terrible fire, fears she will never heal.
Keyne battles to be seen as the king's son, when born a daughter.
And Sinne, the spoiled youngest girl, yearns for romance.

All three fear a life of confinement within the walls of the hold – a last bastion of strength against the invading Saxons. But change comes on the day ash falls from the sky, bringing Myrddhin, meddler and magician, and Tristan, a warrior whose secrets will tear the siblings apart. Riva, Keyne and Sinne must take fate into their own hands, or risk being tangled in a story they could never have imagined; one of treachery, love and ultimately, murder. It's a story that will shape the destiny of Britain.

"This book will stay with me as it was rather haunting and lyrical, it made me angry at parts and so sad too, but also suffused with beauty and a enchanting tale of magic, sisterhood and tragedy." Lucy
