+++THIS IS MY SAME STORY RECREATED. THE OTHER ONE WAS REMOVED AFTER 200K+ READS+++ (story will be in ongoing editing phase so I can get out new chapters while still trying to recreate this story) Riley Knight has never felt like she belonged anywhere. Her father never wanted her. Her stepfather has always made it clear that she isn't his daughter. And certainly not her five older half-brothers and twin from her father's side, who Riley has spent years believing would rather have nothing to do with her. So she's learned to live without them. For years, she has accepted that this is simply how her life is supposed to be. She doesn't expect anyone to choose her, protect her, or stay - least of all herself, who counts down the days until her 18th-birthday when she can break away from all of this. But as secrets are uncovered and Riley's relationship with her brothers begins to change, 15-year-old Riley is forced to question everything she thought she knew. Maybe Riley doesn't know her family as well as she thinks she does. Maybe she was never as unwanted as she believed. Or maybe the people she thought she could live without are the ones she needed all along.

When thirteen-year-old Maddie's world is shattered by her mother's sudden death, she discovers the existence of six older brothers she was separated from at the age of three. As she grapples with the unravelling of her once-familiar life, her brothers strive to protect her from lurking dangers. Amidst a dangerous terrain rife with secrets and threats, Maddie draws strength in the unbreakable bond of family as she navigates the shadows of her past to forge a new future. This the rewrite of 'Their Sister, Their Strength'. You'll notice that despite the same characters and world, there are several key differences. This is inspired by @werkapisze's Rodzina Monet which I'd highly recommend to read if you haven't already.

Rubellite Vladimirovna Dmitrieva is the only daughter of the prestigious and feared Dmitriev family, their one and only princess. At five years old, she was kidnapped and disappeared without a trace. From that moment on, her brothers never stopped searching. The loss hardened them into a more ruthless versions of themselves as years passed with no answers. Nine years later, their search finally comes to an end. Rubellite is exactly as they remembered her. She remains bright and cheerful, with that same easy smile.
