All three fear a life of confinement within the walls of the hold, their people's last bastion of strength against the invading Saxons.

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 by Lucy Holland retells the folk ballad,'The Two Sisters' - now including the perspective of the sibling'that time forgot'.
