Ally D'Aplièse is poised to compete in one of the world’s most dangerous yacht races when she learns about the sudden and mysterious death of her adoptive father, Pa Salt.

Each daughter is handed an intriguing clue about their true heritage by their father, an enigmatic billionaire. Pa Salt's unexpected demise prompts them to explore their origins, setting the stage for a journey of self-discovery and revelation.

Having recently embarked on a passionate love affair that will irrevocably alter her destiny, Ally's life is thrown into turmoil. Faced with overwhelming grief and questions that demand answers, she decides to leave the competitive yachting world to follow the path her father charted for her. Ally’s journey takes her to the stunning, icy landscapes of Norway, where she begins to uncover the secrets of her lineage.

In Norway, Ally delves into the history of Anna Landvik, an obscure young singer from over a century ago who participated in the initial performance of Edvard Grieg’s music, set to Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt. As Ally pieces together the fragments of Anna’s life, she unearths connections that bind her own story to that of the past, making startling discoveries about her family and the mysterious figure of Pa Salt. The journey also raises a significant question about the identity and whereabouts of the elusive seventh sister, deepening the family's mystery.

Following the international bestseller The Seven Sisters, The Storm Sister is the enthralling second novel in Lucinda Riley's captivating series, which is inspired by the mythology of the famed Pleiades star constellation. With lush backdrops, intricate character exploration, and a seamless blend of past and present, Riley crafts a narrative that is as moving as it is compelling.
