  From the bestselling co-author of Saga Land, an epic and compelling novel that reimagines the fate of one of Iceland's famous women of history.  
  After committing an audacious act of revenge for her brother's murder, Disa flees with her son Sindri through the fjords of Iceland. She has already endured the death of her loved ones. Now she must run to save her son, and her honour. In a society where betrayals and revenge killings are rife, all Disa has is her pride and her courage. Will it be enough for her and her son to escape retribution? 
  Dramatic and urgent in its telling, The Sorrow Stone celebrates one woman's quest, against the dramatic backdrop of the Icelandic countryside. It takes a sidelined figure from the Viking tales and finally puts her where she belongs - at the centre of the story. 
  ‘Utterly captivating.’ Hannah Kent 
   ‘This epic tale transported me to another time and place completely.’ Favel Parrett

  Ever wondered about the paths of our ancestors? Wetion (2nd edn) appeals to those open to discovering ways to chart a future using lessons from the past. 
  There’s a part of us all in Addy’s tale. Combining 19 chapters of interconnected short stories with ten scene play, each with its own original song, listeners experience words making history, alongside the drama, tragedies, romance, lessons, lore and more. 
  Addy is the character connecting early human history to the present. Using a DNA test, he establishes the migration routes of the ancestors and conducts an experiment. Using plants gathered from places once inhabited, he concocts a salad. If his theory was correct, consumption would unlock deep memories of ancestors’ past. What follows is a state of altered consciousness too real to be a dream. 
  The highs and lows of 2,000 generations are told in stories revealing the meaning of Wetion. 
  This novel provides a new multimedia experience, is the first of a trilogy and only available in audiobook format. Experimental fiction it is, laced with homage to the bards. 
  Wetion is a 2026 Audie Award entrant for Best Production and Sound Design.

  Traveling east after witnessing the aftermath of the Massacre at Wounded Knee, the young man, who had seen more death in his short life than most people encounter in their entire lives, sought to rebuild the ruins of his life. His father had abandoned his mother, who had turned to prostitution to survive. She was shot when he was twelve, leaving him alone. Having learned to read at a very young age, his intelligence and attention to detail took him places typically reserved for his elders.  
  The young man rode the train east, determined to leave the past behind. However, before he even reached his first station, where he would change trains, his circumstances shifted. This could have been just another train ride in a lifetime of journeys, but it was not. This single trip through the snow-covered American Upper Midwest changed the trajectory of his life from that point forward.  
  The young man advanced in stages, moving from one situation to the next, occasionally staying just a step ahead of the law, until he arrived in Florida to tackle a project so large that multiple predecessors had failed. What sort of man would undertake a project of this size, one that would cause as much harm as this one would, and see it through to the end?

  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.
