    This audio edition is read by the author and was recorded in a remote studio in Shetland. 'Storm Pegs perfectly captures the knotting of language and landscape. I was transported.' - Katherine May, Sunday Times bestselling author of WinteringFrom the winner of the T.S. Eliot Prize and the Highland Book PrizeWhat if the answer to ‘Where am I?’ is ‘heaven’?In her late twenties, celebrated poet Jen Hadfield moved to the Shetland archipelago to make her life anew. A scattering of islands at the northernmost point of the United Kingdom, frequently cut off from the mainland by storms, Shetland is a place of Vikings and myths, of ancient languages and old customs, of breathtaking landscapes and violent weather. It has long fascinated travellers seeking the edge of the world.On these islands known for their isolation and drama, Hadfield found something more: a place teeming with life, where rare seabirds blow in on Atlantic gales, seals and dolphins visit its beaches, and wild folk festivals carry the residents through long, dark winters. She found a close-knit community, too, of neighbours always willing to lend a boat or build a creel, of women wild-swimming together in the star-spangled winter seas. Over seventeen years, as bright summer nights gave way to storm-lashed winters, she learned new ways to live.In prose as rich and magical as Shetland itself, Hadfield transports us to the islands as a local; introducing us to the remote and beautiful archipelago where she has made her home, and shows us new ways of living at the edge.

    The world as we know it feels mapped, photographed, and documented—a planet where satellites sweep the skies and every mountain, desert, and shoreline is marked with coordinates. Yet, beneath this illusion of total knowledge, lie hidden corners humanity was never meant to see. Secret Earth: Places You Weren’t Meant to Find is a compelling journey into those forbidden zones—territories of secrecy, danger, and mystery that resist the light of exposure. 
    Across twenty richly told chapters, the book reveals a global atlas of the hidden and the unreachable. Some places are locked away by governments, their gates sealed with silence. Consider Area 51, that infamous desert base where secrecy turned into myth, or Pine Gap, Australia’s “eye in the sky,” where satellites and signals weave webs of global surveillance. Others are shielded by cultural guardianship—lands like North Sentinel Island, where an indigenous people reject all contact, or the Vatican Archives, whose shelves hide manuscripts and histories beyond public reach. Still others are guarded by nature itself, such as Snake Island in Brazil, where thousands of lethal vipers forbid human settlement, or the fragile chambers of the Lascaux Caves, sealed because a single breath could erase art that has survived for 17,000 years. 
    The book moves fluidly from ancient ruins to modern fortresses, from legendary sites to contemporary phenomena. We descend into the underground labyrinth of Derinkuyu in Turkey, where entire towns once lived in secret, and stand before India’s haunted Bhangarh Fort, abandoned to legend and cursed memory. We explore Mezhgorye in Russia, a mysterious closed city guarding subterranean secrets, and enter the strange exclusivity of Bohemian Grove, California, where the powerful retreat into ritual behind towering redwoods.
