The Seven Sisters is the first novel in the Seven Sisters series by Lucinda Riley.
The Seven Sisters series tells the stories of the D’Aplièse sisters, all adopted as babies by the enigmatic billionaire they affectionately call Pa Salt. Each novel follows a different sister on their journey to discover their roots, taking readers on adventures to locations around the world.

This is Maia’s story. When Pa Salt dies suddenly, the bereaved sisters gather together at their childhood home, a spectacular secluded castle on the shores of Lake Geneva. Each of them is handed a tantalising clue to their heritage and Maia finds herself on a journey across the world to a crumbling mansion in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Eighty years earlier, Izabela Bonifacio’s father has aspirations for her to marry into the aristocracy. But Izabela longs for adventure, and convinces him to allow her to first travel to Paris. In the heady, vibrant streets of the city, Izabela meets an ambitious young sculptor, and knows at once that her life will never be the same again.
What links these two young women? In the beautiful city of Rio, will Maia find the answers she needs to understand who she truly is?

The next book in the series is The Storm Sister so I would recommend reading that one next. If you’ve already completed The Seven Sisters series, you might want to read one of Lucinda Riley’s standalone novels such as The Love Letter or Hothouse Flower.
