The Tapestry of Time is a promise that love is stronger than hate and that families and communities are our strongest bastions. It celebrates the vital, but too often unsung, role that women played, and continue to play, in the fight against fascism. Kate Heartfield gets better with every single book.
Join us for a journey into invented history, fantastic powers and the hidden forces battling for control of the world. Author Brandon Crilly hosts a conversation on the art and craft of historical fantasy with two of the country’s most acclaimed voices.
Ottawa’s own Kate Heartfield, author of the international bestsellers The Embroidered Book and The Valkyrie, returns with The Tapestry of Time. Love, heroism and the supernatural collide in the midst of World War 2. With the war on a knife-edge, the Sharp Sisters face certain death. Can their courage and extrasensory gifts prevent the enemy from using the Bayeux Tapestry to bring about a devastating victory against the Allied Forces?
JM Miro returns with Bringer of Dust, the highly-anticipated second book of the Talents Trilogy. Agrigento, Sicily, 1883. With the orsine destroyed, Cairndale lies in ruins, and Marlowe has vanished. His only hope of rescue lies in a fabled second orsine—long-hidden, thought lost—which might not even exist. So the dark journey begun in Ordinary Monsters surges forward, from the sinister underworld of the London exiles, to the roar of the street markets in nineteenth-century Alexandria, to the sunlit silences of the Dalmatian coast.
