Content

Following on from the bestselling The Seven Sisters and The Storm Sister, The Shadow Sister is the third book in Lucinda Riley's spellbinding series, loosely based on the mythology of the Seven Sisters star cluster.
 
Star D'Aplièse is at a crossroads in her life after the sudden death of her beloved father - the elusive billionaire, named Pa Salt by his six daughters, all adopted by him from the four corners of the world. He has left each of them a clue to their true heritage, but Star - the most enigmatic of the sisters - is hesitant to step out of the safety of the close relationship she shares with her sister CeCe. In desperation, she decides to follow the first clue she has been left, which leads her to an antiquarian bookshop in London, and the start of a whole new world . . .
 
A hundred years earlier, headstrong and independent Flora MacNichol vows she will never marry. She is happy and secure in her home in the Lake District, living close to her idol, Beatrix Potter, when machinations outside of her control lead her to London, and the home of one of Edwardian society's most notorious players, Alice Keppel. Flora is pulled between passionate love and duty to her family, but finds herself a pawn in a game - the rules of which are only known to others, until a meeting with a mysterious gentleman unveils the answers that Flora has been searching for her whole life . . .
 
As Star learns more of Flora's incredible journey, she too goes on a voyage of discovery, finally stepping out of the shadow of her sister and opening herself up to the possibility of love.
 
Star d'Aplièse ist eine sensible junge Frau und begegnet der Welt eher mit Vorsicht. Seit sie denken kann, ist ihr Leben auf das Engste verflochten mit dem ihrer Schwester CeCe, aus deren Schatten herauszutreten ihr nie gelang. Als ihr geliebter Vater Pa Salt plötzlich stirbt, steht Star jedoch unversehens an einem Wendepunkt. Wie alle Mädchen in der Familie ist auch sie ein Adoptivkind und kennt ihre Wurzeln nicht, doch der Abschiedsbrief ihres Vaters enthält einen Anhaltspunkt - die Adresse einer Londoner Buchhandlung sowie den Hinweis, dort nach einer gewissen Flora MacNichol zu fragen. Während Star diesen Spuren folgt, eröffnen sich ihr völlig ungeahnte Wege, die sie nicht nur auf ein wunderbares Anwesen in Kent führen, sondern auch in die Rosengärten und Parks des Lake District im vergangenen Jahrhundert. Und ganz langsam beginnt Star, ihr eigenes Leben zu entdecken und ihr Herz zu öffnen für das Wagnis, das man Liebe nennt ...
