La apasionante y exitosa serie basada en la mitología griega y en la astrología que hará las delicias de sus lectoras.

Toda gran historia comienza con una mujer extraordinaria.

Cuando Tiggy D’Aplièse acepta trabajar, en la enorme finca Kinnaird, en una de las zonas más recónditas de Escocia, no sospecha que el misterioso terrateniente, Charlie Kinnaird, está a punto de alterar su futuro e, irónicamente, revelarle su pasado. En este nuevo hogar descubrirá que tiene un sexto sentido, una herencia de sus antepasados gitanos.

Lucía Amaya Albaycín nació en 1912 en el barrio del Sacromonte, frente a la Alhambra, y la apodaron La Candela. En su destino está escrito convertirse en una de las grandes bailarinas de la historia, y por eso su padre se la lleva a los bares de flamenco de Barcelona con solo diez años. Al estallar la Guerra Civil Lucía y su grupo de bailaores buscan refugio en Nueva York. Pero para ver cumplido su sueño deberá elegir entre la pasión por el baile o el hombre al que ama...

Conforme conoce sus raíces españolas y desentraña el pasado de su familia, Tiggy comienza a aceptar y a controlar su don sin saber que ella también deberá tomar una difícil decisión, no muy distinta a la que en su día afrontó Lucía.

«Encantará a los fans de Riley pero también llamará la atención de nuevos lectores.»

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The Moon Sister is the fifth “brilliantly written” (Historical Novel Society) novel in New York Times bestselling author, Lucinda Riley’s, epic Seven Sisters series.
 
Experience the grandeur of the remote Scottish Highlands and Madrid in this USA TODAY bestselling “beautifully written...magical adventure” (Woman’s World) following two women connected across time and distance as they search for the truth of their place in the world.
 
Tiggy D’Aplièse spends her days reveling in the raw beauty of the Scottish Highlands, where she works at a deer sanctuary. But when the sanctuary is forced to close, she decides to take a job as a wildlife consultant on the vast estate of the elusive and troubled Charlie Kinnaird. She has no idea that the move will not only irrevocably alter her future, but also bring her face-to-face with her past.
 
At the estate, she meets Chilly, an elderly Romani man who fled from Spain seventy years earlier. He tells her that not only does she possess a sixth sense passed down from her ancestors, but it was foretold long ago that he would be the one to send her back home.
 
Back in 1912, in the poor Romani community outside the city walls of Granada, Lucía Amaya-Albaycin is born. At the tender age of ten, Lucía is whisked away by her ambitious father to dance in the flamenco bars of Barcelona. And while Lucía perfects her skills—eventually becoming the greatest flamenco dancer of her generation—tensions in Spain boil into civil war, forcing Lucía and her troupe of dancers to flee for their lives. As they travel in search of a safe haven, Lucía’s long-held dream of going to New York may be in grasp. But to pursue it, she must choose between her love for her career and the man she adores.
