  • The Weight of Stones

    Is violence born of nature or nurture? Does personal trauma echo through history, shaping forces far larger than any one life? Set in 19th‑century Ireland, The Weight of Stones follows Mary Costello, born into crushing poverty and abuse in a remote cottage beside a bog. When a violent assault forces her to kill in self‑defense at fourteen, Mary discovers a grim talent for murder, one that will shape not only her fate but the shadowed world beneath her feet. Part gothic horror, part historical thriller, this is a tale of murder, identity, and the terrible weight of choices that can never be undone, can anyone truly be held responsible for the ruin they leave behind?
