In a magical ancient Britain, bards sing a story of treachery, love and death. This is that story. For fans of Madeline Miller's Circe, Lucy Holland's Sistersong retells the folk ballad ‘The Twa Sisters.'
'A beautiful reimagining of an old British folklore ballad, Sistersong weaves a captivating spell of myth and magic' – Jennifer Saint, author of Ariadne
King Cador’s children inherit a land abandoned by the Romans, torn by warring tribes. Riva can cure others, but can’t heal her own scars. Keyne battles to be seen as the king’s son, although born a daughter. And Sinne dreams of love, longing for adventure.
All three fear a life of confinement within the walls of the hold, their people’s last bastion of strength against the invading Saxons. However, change comes on the day ash falls from the sky – bringing Myrdhin, meddler and magician. The siblings discover the power that lies within them and the land. But fate also brings Tristan, a warrior whose secrets will tear them apart.
Riva, Keyne and Sinne become entangled in a web of treachery and heartbreak, and must fight to forge their own paths. It’s a story that will shape the destiny of Britain.
Sistersong is a powerfully moving story, perfect for readers who loved Naomi Novik’s Uprooted and Katherine Arden’s The Bear and the Nightingale.

Yes how beautiful! A good fantasy story with a transgender main character whose struggles and transformation is woven in to a beautiful heartwarming storyline. Written as just a part of the book like normal other main characters growth. How wonderfully inclusive.

Took some unexpected turns, and darker than I initially imagined. The story about the dwarfs was a bit confusing though, it sounded like it meant to say "don't trust outsiders".

A fun story but it got very predictable and repetitive by the end - all a beautifully woven tale of sisterhood/ siblinghood and destiny

Loved the characters, their detail and perspectives, who were all brilliantly voiced and blown to life by Robyn. The world and it's magic feel like they surround you when you listen, because of Lucy's immersive writing. Some storylines interested me more than others and one I found rather predictable. But I still highly recommend the read!

Er zaten wel wat goede twists in en boeiende personages, maar het geheel was wat vlak. Heb het toch uitgeluisterd en was aan het eind zelfs wel benieuwd naar de afloop.
