mythology like Christina Henry's The Horseman and Genevieve
Gornichec's The Witch's Heart will be enchanted."--Booklist
"Sistersong is a fresh and gripping retelling of an ancient tale.
Set in a realistic, gritty world, the nuanced, compelling
characters are the heart of this story about family, love, loyalty
and identity. I loved it."--John Gwynne, author of The Shadow of
the Gods
"Sistersong is a marvelous tale, gracefully told in language as
beautiful as the song that inspired it. It's a celebration of the
power of sisterhood, the strength of earth magic, and the triumph,
in the end, of fidelity to both. I fell in love with all three
siblings, and I think you will, too!"--Louisa Morgan, author of A
Secret History of Witches

melody that sticks in your head. An absolutely stunning
book."--Hannah Whitten, author of For the Wolf

are tested to their limit."--Jennifer Saint, author of Ariadne

loyalty and betrayal."--Daily Mail
"From its opening pages, Sistersong transports you to a time period
often overlooked, and spins a tale of family, loyalty, and the
triumph of becoming the person you were always meant to be. I was
utterly captivated from the beginning to the tragic, bittersweet
end."--Genevieve Gornichec, author of The Witch's Heart

murder ballad "The Twa Sisters"... [her] fast-paced plot and fresh,

spellbound."--Publishers Weekly

amalgamation of historical fantasy and English folklore. Brimming
with magic....[Her] storytelling is mesmerising, and Sistersong
kept me feverishly turning the pages until the very end."--Nerd
Daily

the pages until the thrilling conclusion, both tragic and
triumphant. Lucy Holland is a talent to watch."--Greer Macallister,
