  London, 1867: Among the genteel young ladies of London society, painting is a perfectly acceptable pastime—but a woman who dares to pursue art as a profession is another prospect, indeed. Dr. Julia Lewis, familiar with the disrespect afforded women in untraditional careers, is hardly surprised when Scotland Yard shows little interest in complaints made by her friend, Mary Allingham, about a break-in at her art studio. Mary is just one of many "lady painters" being targeted by vandals. 
   
   
   
  Painters' sitters are vanishing, too—women viewed by some as dispensable outcasts. Inspector Richard Tennant, however, takes the attacks seriously, suspecting they're linked to the poison-pen letters received by other members of the Allingham family. For Julia, the issue is complicated by Tennant's previous relationship with Mary's sister-in-law, Louisa, and by her own surprising reaction to that entanglement. 
   
   
   
  But when someone close to them commits suicide and a woman turns up dead, the case can no longer be so easily ignored by "respectable" society. Layer after layer, Julia and Tennant scrape away the facts of the case like paint from a canvas. What emerges is a somber picture of vice, depravity, and deception stretching from London's East End to the Far East—with a killer at its center, determined to get away with one last, grisly murder . . .

  In a bloody, brutal raid, Abbot Blathmac is slain on the steps of his monastery for refusing to give away the location of the sacred relics of St Columba, the missionary who first brought Christianity to Scotland. Following a night of rampage and mayhem, one Viking wakes up the next morning to find himself alone, hungover, and abandoned by his crew mates. He can't swim, there are no boats, and the only surviving monk on the island has taken his sword. With only his wits, he must survive long enough not only to rejoin his Viking comrades, but also to find the location of the elusive relics that brought him here in the first place. 
   
   
   
  Rooted in the real history of Iona and its early monks, Columba's Bones is an utterly unique and thrilling book, exploring the clash of early Christianity and paganism, and expanding into a sharp, witty meditation on philosophy, redemption, shame, violence, love, transcendence, and reality.

  "A JOURNEY OF WISDOM BEYOND KINGDOMS AND TIME" 
  
  As King David's reign nears its end, his eldest son, Joseph, is destined to inherit the throne, while his younger brother, Raymond, devotes himself to understanding the villagers—walking among them, listening to their struggles and hopes, and earning their trust.
  
  When a black raven appears before the king, he takes it as an omen of death and decides to divide his kingdom between his two sons. Aware that such a decision may cause conflict, Raymond—though wiser and more suited to rule—humbly asks that Joseph reign alone.
  
   
  
  Following King David's passing, a vivid dream inspires Raymond to leave the palace behind and embark on a journey of enlightenment. Guided by compassion, courage, and reason, he dedicates his life to the poor and powerless, mediating disputes and teaching through example. In doing so, he discovers that true leadership lies not in power, but in empathy and understanding.
  
  The Wise Traveller is a timeless fable about virtue, humility, and the transformative power of wisdom.

  THE STAKED GROUND 
  Book One of THE PEOPLE: A Native Nations Saga 
  A people fighting for their land. A warrior society sworn never to retreat. A world about to be changed forever. 
  From the bestselling author of Warriors of the First Nations and The Fearless Fifteen comes an epic historical novel about the Cheyenne and the legendary Dog Soldiers. 
  They called themselves the Tsėhéstáno. History remembers them as the Cheyenne. 
  Across the Great Plains, American expansion is gathering pace. For the Cheyenne, the struggle is no longer simply about territory. It is about whether their traditions, identity and way of life can survive. 
  At the heart of the resistance stand the Hotamétaneo'o — the Dog Soldiers, one of the most formidable warrior societies of the nineteenth-century Plains. 
  Their code is absolute. 
  When a sash wearer drives his stake into the earth, he gives up the right to retreat. He will hold that ground until a brother releases him — or until he dies upon it. 
  Three men come to embody the choices confronting their people. 
  Black Kettle believes survival lies in negotiation and peace. Tall Bull believes some things must be defended whatever the cost. And George Bent, born between the Cheyenne and American worlds, becomes witness to both. 
  From the horror of Sand Creek to Beecher Island, from the death of Roman Nose to the Washita and Tall Bull's final stand at Summit Springs, The Staked Ground brings this extraordinary period of American history vividly to life. 
  Based closely on the historical record, this is more than a story of war. It is a story of courage, loyalty, identity, resistance and a people fighting to preserve their world. 
  The Staked Ground begins THE PEOPLE: A Native Nations Saga — a sweeping new series telling the stories of the Indigenous nations of North America through their worlds, traditions and perspectives.
