A granddaughter. A killer. A mansion full of secrets. In The Moonflowers, Tig Costello seeks the truth about her family by visiting the woman who murdered her grandfather.

About the book
Tig Costello travels to rural Kentucky to paint a portrait of her grandfather, a celebrated war hero and community icon. But to Tig, he’s little more than a mystery. The one person who knew him best? The woman who murdered him.
Eloise Price has spent fifty years locked away in a state institution, and she’s ready to talk. What begins as a search for a story becomes a multi-generational reckoning, as Eloise peels back the layers of pain, sacrifice, and survival woven through the lives of the women in Tig’s family.
Set against the backdrop of a decaying mansion filled with secrets, The Moonflowers is a moving, atmospheric novel about truth, inheritance, and the strength women summon when the world gives them no other choice.

About the book
Winner of the 2020 Miles Franklin Literary Award and 2021 Kate Challis RAKA Award!
"A beautifully written novel that puts language at the heart of remembering the past and understanding the present."—Kate Morton
"A groundbreaking novel for black and white Australia."—Richard Flanagan, Man Booker Prize winning author of The Narrow Road to the Deep North
A young Australian woman searches for her grandfather's dictionary, the key to halting a mining company from destroying her family's home and ancestral land in this exquisitely written, heartbreaking, yet hopeful novel of culture, language, tradition, suffering, and empowerment in the tradition of Louise Erdrich, Sandra Cisneros, and Amy Harmon.
Knowing that he will soon die, Albert "Poppy" Gondiwindi has one final task he must fulfill. A member of the indigenous Wiradjuri tribe, he has spent his adult life in Prosperous House and the town of Massacre Plains, a small enclave on the banks of the Murrumby River. Before he takes his last breath, Poppy is determined to pass on the language of his people, the traditions of his ancestors, and everything that was ever remembered by those who came before him. The land itself aids him; he finds the words on the wind.
After his passing, Poppy's granddaughter, August, returns home from Europe, where she has lived the past ten years, to attend his burial. Her overwhelming grief is compounded by the pain, anger, and sadness of memory—of growing up in poverty before her mother's incarceration, of the racism she and her people endured, of the mysterious disappearance of her sister when they were children; an event that has haunted her and changed her life. Her homecoming is bittersweet as she confronts the love of her kin and news that Prosperous is to be repossessed by a mining company. Determined to make amends and honor Poppy and her family, she vows to save their land—a quest guided by the voice of her grandfather that leads into the past, the stories of her people, the secrets of the river.
Told in three masterfully woven narratives, The Yield is a celebration of language and an exploration of what makes a place "home." A story of a people and a culture dispossessed, it is also a joyful reminder of what once was and what endures—a powerful reclaiming of Indigenous language, storytelling, and identity, that offers hope for the future.

She’s an FBI agent.
American Spy
Historical Fiction · Literary Fiction · Thriller
Our take
She’s an FBI agent. He’s a revolutionary. Her mission is betrayal. American Spy is a Cold War espionage thriller like no other—sharp, provocative, and inspired by real events.

About the book
Marie Mitchell is a brilliant FBI agent stuck behind a desk. It’s 1986, and being a young Black woman in an old boys’ club has left her sidelined—until she’s recruited for a covert mission to undermine Thomas Sankara, the revolutionary leader of Burkina Faso.
She doesn’t trust her handlers. She admires Sankara. But she says yes.
What follows is espionage with a pulse. Marie will seduce, observe, and betray. But her mission will force her to confront not just Cold War politics, but the cost of loyalty, race, and grief.
American Spy is a tense, elegant blend of spy thriller, political drama, and personal reckoning. Inspired by true events, Lauren Wilkinson delivers a gripping debut that rewrites the rules of the genre and redefines what it means to be a patriot.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Phineas Smith has been cursed with a power no one could control. Roark Lyne is his worst enemy and his only hope. First in the Darkest Court series.
The only human student at Mather's School of Magick, Phineas Smith has a target on his back. Born with the rare ability to tap into unlimited magick, he finds both Faerie Courts want his allegiance—and will do anything to get it.
They don't realize he can't levitate a feather, much less defend the Faerie Realm as it slips into civil war.
Unseelie Prince Roark Lyne—Phineas's roommate and self-proclaimed arch nemesis—is beautiful and brave and a pain in the ass. Phineas can't begin to sort through their six years of sexual tension masquerading as mutual dislike. But Roark is also the only one able to help Finn tame his magick.
Trusting Roark's mysterious motives may be foolish; not accepting his temporary protection would be deadly.
Caught in the middle of the impending war, Phineas and Roark forge a dangerous alliance. And as the walls between them crumble, Phineas realizes that Roark isn't the monster he'd imagined. But their growing intimacy threatens to expose a secret that could either turn the tide of the war . . . or destroy them both.
