A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is struggling with intense sibling rivalry or the feeling that they are being forced into a role they never chose. It is a powerful choice for adolescents grappling with the weight of family expectations and the discovery that those closest to them may not have their best interests at heart. As the second book in the Prophecy of the Sisters trilogy, it follows Lia Milthorpe as she travels to London and beyond to find the keys to her destiny while being pursued by her own twin sister, Alice. The story explores heavy emotional themes of betrayal, the burden of legacy, and the courage required to stand alone against one's own flesh and blood. Set in a gothic, atmospheric Victorian era, it offers a sophisticated look at the transition from childhood innocence to the complex responsibilities of adulthood. Parents will appreciate how the book handles the concept of 'destiny' not as a fixed path, but as something the protagonist must actively shape through her own moral choices.
