The saga of The Seven Sisters is one of the literary interpretations inspired by the Pleiades or The Seven Sisters. The Pleiades are mentioned in various cultures and literatures throughout history. Lucinda Riley is inspired by the Greek conception of the Pleiades. In Greek mythology the seven sisters are nymphs daughters of Atlas. The names of the protagonists of The Seven Sisters saga are the same as those of the Seven Sisters star cluster and the Pleiades sisters in Greek mythology: Maia, Alcyone (Ally), Herope (Star), Celenus (CeCe), Táigete (Tiggy) and Electra. The seventh Pleiades star is baptized as Mérope, being the star that shines the least and is almost invisible. Therefore, in the saga of The Seven Sisters, the author decides that the latter will be the lost sister that the other sisters will pursue in the seventh book, which was published in 2021.
Now it’s time to enjoy these wonderful eight books and follow in the footsteps of each of the sisters as they discover their origins.
