About the book
A thrilling new fantasy about the lengths two sisters will go for each other from Rebecca Ross, the extraordinary Sunday Times and New York Times number-one bestselling author of DIVINE RIVALS. Perfect for fans of Ember in the Ashes, Sky In the Deep, and Court of Fives.
Two sisters... one unbreakable bond
Evadne is finally going to be reunited with her older sister, Halcyon, who has been serving in the queen's army for eight long years. But when Halcyon unexpectedly appears a day early, Evadne knows something is gravely wrong. Halcyon has been charged with a heinous crime and though her life is spared, she has been sentenced to fifteen years of punishment - five years of hard labour, five years of imprisonment and five years serving the house that she has wronged.
Suspicious of the charges, as well as the details of the crime, Evadne volunteers to take part of her sister's terms. If there's a way to clear Halcyon's name, she'll find it. But as the sisters begin their sentences, they quickly learn that there are fates worse than death...
Set in a richly-drawn, ancient world comes this epic fantasy from the author of The Queen's Rising...

Praise for Sisters of Sword and Song
An exquisitely beautiful, heartfelt tale of magic, love, and family. Ross's masterful storytelling kept me enthralled from the very beginning to the perfectly rendered ending. And yet I find myself wanting more time with these fierce and inspiring pair of sisters.
Lyrical and limned with magic, Sisters of Sword and Song is a gorgeously crafted alchemy of gods, mages, and a lush world you will wish was real.
A beautifully-crafted story of sacrifice, growth, and redemption, with the fierce bond between sisters at its heart.
I adored this magical story about the unbreakable bond between sisters.
Sisters of Sword and Song is an intimate portrait of sisterhood and the feminine spirit. Ross’s delicate prose paints strong, yet vulnerable characters in Evadne and Halcyon that will capture readers from the start.
Ross’ heroic epic is vividly inspired by ancient Greece, down to its poetic language…it revels in intricate plotting, political intrigue, and fascinating divinity-based magic.
Classical heroism in a magical antiquity makes for a fresh read.
An immersive new fantasy that readers will want to curl up with. Will fascinate and draw in both fantasy readers and mythology lovers alike. This lyrical novel will have an eager, built-in audience in fans of The Queen’s Rising duology and will find new readers for Ross as well.
