Description

Abandoned by her jet-setting mother at St Mary's Boarding School for Girls, Heather Johnson thought life couldn't get much worse. She was wrong. Waiting for her behind the iron gates is an ancient evil, embodied in the insidious Sister Merce and her coven of malevolent Sisters, who thrive on the misery they inflict upon their wayward charges. As the danger to Heather increases, a reprieve arrives with Amy, a spirited girl with a strange flair for Latin. The respite, however, is fleeting as Amy's physic abilities reveal a mystery involving two long-dead 'fallen' girls, Jennifer and Rachel. Using a diary and an amulet, and assisted by the sweet-hearted Patrick and self-destructive Caleb, the four girls are drawn into a liminal space where they must stand together and use the power within themselves to destroy the Sisterhood. Suspenseful and enigmatic, Sisterhood pits the darkest aspects of human nature against its greatest virtues.
