"Stone is the ancestor of all. 
It is of the beginning
And the timeless spirit
That joins star to star
And age to age.
Out of stone comes life.

We are of the stone
And the stone is of us.
Hold it close, feel its power.
Hear its song and prepare
To enter realms known 
But long forgotten

Journey well.
May the good go with you."

- from the opening of the first book "Song of the Circle" in the chronicles

USA CUSTOMERS READ ME! (updated) - 22nd Aug 2025

USA CUSTOMERS READ ME! (updated) TRUMP TARIFFS: New Zealand Post (NZP) has resumed sending to the USA, hooray. However, your books will be a little more expensive, as we shall be passing on the cost of both the tariffs and costs associated with paying said tariffs onto you, the customer (SAD!). But the good news is, once you have paid for your book/s and shipping, you will NOT have to pay any extra duties or fees to receive your package (unlike the situation recently, when we did not have a DDP ("delivery duties paid") service available)

Random note: if you are in ALASKA or HAWAI'I, we have no idea why, but it costs an extra NZ$25 PER BOOK in some circumstances to send a package to you! If you have an alternative address in another US state, that is your best bet.
