The Books in Order

1. The Seven Sisters

Maia, the eldest sister, follows clues to Rio de Janeiro and the story of a young woman connected to the creation of the Christ the Redeemer statue. This first book sets the tone for the series: emotional, epic, and unforgettable.

2. The Storm Sister

Ally’s story takes her from the shores of Norway to the world of classical music. As she mourns personal loss, she uncovers a legacy tied to a forgotten composer and a haunting family past.

3. The Shadow Sister

Quiet and bookish Star steps out of her comfort zone and travels to England’s Lake District. There, she discovers a hidden part of her family’s history and a long-buried love story.

CeCe's search leads her to Thailand and Australia, where she follows the trail of a woman who broke societal norms and built a legacy in the opal mining world of the Outback.

4. The Pearl Sister

5. The Moon Sister

Tiggy’s journey begins in the Scottish Highlands and leads to the flamenco world of 1930s Spain. With help from a Roma community, she begins to understand her unique gifts and ancestral strength.

6. The Sun Sister

Electra, the youngest and most troubled of the sisters, battles addiction and fame in New York, while tracing her roots to Kenya and the story of a courageous woman from the past.

7. The Missing Sister

The sisters unite to find Merope, the seventh sister they never met. Their search takes them across continents, revealing deep truths about their family, their father, and themselves.

8. Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt

The final book tells Pa Salt’s story — from a war-torn Europe to a life of great secrecy. It answers the mysteries woven through the series and brings the sisters’ journeys full circle.

Should You Read Them in Order?

You should, but don’t have to. However, while each book focuses on a different sister, the emotional arc builds gradually, and the overarching mystery unfolds best in sequence.

Who It’s For

  • Fans of Kate Morton, Jojo Moyes, or Isabel Allende

  • Readers who love sweeping historical fiction and family sagas

  • Anyone craving rich storytelling with heart, mystery, and global depth

I hope this series finds you at the right time — maybe it gives you an escape, a spark of inspiration, or simply a beautiful moment to yourself. Happy reading,
