“Prophecy of the Sisters is set in the late 1800s, when spiritualism was capturing the imagination of people across the continent. With their father recently dead, twins Lia and Alice find themselves entangled in a prophecy that is centuries old. Michelle Zink had added a new gem to Gothic literature.”
-- Liesl Freudenstein, The Boulder Book Store, Boulder, CO


Description

An ancient prophecy divides two sisters-

One good...

One evil...

Who will prevail?

Twin sisters Lia and Alice Milthorpe have just become orphans. They have also become enemies. As they discover their roles in a prophecy that has turned generations of sisters against each other, the girls find themselves entangled in a mystery that involves a tattoo-like mark, their parents' deaths, a boy, a book, and a lifetime of secrets.

Lia and Alice don't know whom they can trust.

They just know they can't trust each other.




About the Author

Sometimes asking only leads to more questions, but every now and then, when everything falls into place just right, a story is born. Prophecy of the Sisters is one of those stories.
