A novel in a historical-romance series about the incredible fates of half-sisters
The gripping opening novel of a historical-romance series about the incredible fates of the Maia half-sisters, Ally, Star, Cece, Tiggy, Electra and Merope, seven sisters, is based on the mythological story of the Pleiades, which Zeus, for their safety, placed in the sky in the form of a shining star-cup.
Each story begins in a magnificent chateau on the shores of Lake Geneva, home to all the sisters. They are reunited there after the news of the death of their beloved father, a mysterious billionaire who adopted them at a young age from different parts of the world and left them each an envelope with a message about their past and mysterious origins.
The first volume tells the story of Maia, the eldest sister, whose search for her true identity takes her to the other side of the world to a dilapidated villa in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Pieces of the family mosaic reveal unexpected connections to a mysterious love story connected to Paris and the construction of the famous statue of Christ the Saviour, towering on the Corcovado mountain above the most beautiful city in the world.
