Something is brewing in Southwest Harbor, Maine. Only two people know the truth about a tragic accident that claims the lives of a popular couple, and one of them is dead. That doesn’t stop Bowen Swersey from coming back from the Afterlife to set the record straight, even though he must make a gruesome choice to do it.

In 1002 AD, a young shaman's apprentice returns home to find that Norsemen have razed her village. Hilja begins an impossible quest to redeem her tribe and must use all her courage and craft to survive. From the four corners of Scandinavia, Flight of the Wren weaves history with battles, magic, intrigue, and romance, sweeping the listener on a collision course with the end of an age. A broad and lavish saga that spans five novels and 30 years, we follow several threads that weave across the weft of history, filled out by the weave of mystery.

Southwest Harbor, Maine, is the perfect coastal village, complete with Goth Rock-playing teens, zealous school administrators, and Undead denizens. As Grace and Oliver pursue their dream to start a band, their songs attract the attention of the Christian Right and the Undead Left, embroiling them in a sinister plot to bring down the veil between the living and the dead. Their music also gets them suspended from school just before graduation and lands Grace in the hospital, so you know it has to be good.

In Return of the Black Swan, we begin to see the fabric of the Viking Age fray. Olav Haraldsson returns to a war-weary Norway to proclaim himself king, and no one has the power to stop him. Meanwhile, Prince Canute inherits the crown of England, even as the deposed King Ethelred and his forces rally for a counterattack. Thorkell the Tall tries to win back Canute's favor and is given a mission that will test his loyalties.

In the third volume of the Flight of the Wren series, Norse slavers return to Kokolu. This time, they find the village defenses bristling with steel. Hilja and her husband lead a rescue mission to Greenland in a captured Viking knarr, while the Witch of Vestfold makes another grisly sacrifice to gain the Gods' favor.

In book two of the series, Hilja leaves her young son in the Cave of the Witch while she journeys to Greenland in search of her mother and sister. Meanwhile, young Olav Haraldsson hijacks a derelict ship and conscripts a crew to lead a raid in the East. The Danes try to rally their allies for the invasion of England, while the Witch of Vestfold becomes the monster everyone believes her to be.

Out of the low-lying fog on the coast of Maine emerges a new mystery: Cormac’s new venture, ‘Spirited Ghostwriting’ finally nets him a customer, and the story is dynamite. Famous movie star Isabelle Cake wants him to write her memoirs, which will ignite a powder keg of Hollywood secrets. Meanwhile, with her band on hiatus, Grace goes to work as a waitress for an upscale catering company and gets way too close a look at the secretive celebrity culture of Mount Desert Island, Maine.

If you have found this booklet, I am hopefully already dead, buried next to my father and mother, within spitting distance of Thomas, Elsie, and Sally Somers. And, though it is called the Gilley Burying Ground, my father would be irked (when was he not?) to lie for eternity next to the neighbors he so despised. Though I wanted to understand his feelings, I wanted even more to understand the Somers, whose exploits in Southwest Harbor were the subject of so much scrutiny and conjecture, but whose daily lives were full of earnest hard work.

Meanwhile, Cormac settles in to work on his next book, but he is distracted by a prison break and his second autopsy.
