The Storm Sister – Lucinda Riley

Ally D’Aplièse is preparing for one of the world’s most perilous yacht races when she learns that her adoptive father, the enigmatic billionaire Pa Salt, has died suddenly.

Back at the family home on Lake Geneva, Ally discovers that Pa Salt left each of his six adopted daughters a clue to her true heritage. Her trail leads to Norway and the extraordinary story of Anna Landvik, a gifted young singer whose life became entwined with the celebrated composer Edvard Grieg.

As Ally uncovers the mysteries of her ancestry, she must face heartbreak, loss, and the challenge of finding her own place in the world. The second novel in The Seven Sisters series is a sweeping dual-timeline story of music, love, courage, and self-discovery.

Rated approximately 4.30/5 on Goodreads from more than 100,000 ratings. Readers praise its Norwegian setting, fascinating historical narrative, and emotional depth. Many series fans consider Ally’s story one of the saga’s strongest instalments.

Continue the journey with The Seven Sisters, then The Shadow Sister and The Pearl Sister. Also perfect for fans of Kate Morton’s The Forgotten Garden and Homecoming, and Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale.
