Prairie Edge (2024)
Conor Kerr
"Prairie Edge draws from the wisdom and resilience of the ancestors to yield a strong and spirited story for today's generation and those to come. A modern storytelling master, Conor Kerr has crafted an outstanding novel that's both triumphant and tragic. I laughed, celebrated, and grieved with these characters, all of which felt genuinely familiar like cousins, aunties, friends, and more. Expertly capturing the contemporary Metis spirit, Prairie Edge is truly an essential story for our time."
Cold (2024)
Drew Hayden Taylor
"Cold is an absolutely enthralling novel from a legendary writer and storyteller. Drew Hayden Taylor is a master of genuinely capturing contemporary Indigenous realities in fiction, making the vibrant characters in this exceptional story relatable and real. Cold is creepy and funny, smart and lively, and overall a strikingly dynamic book that will keep readers on edge from start to finish."
An Ordinary Violence (2023)
Adriana Chartrand
"An Ordinary Violence is a gripping debut novel that bewilders in the best way possible. Adriana Chartrand sparks a fire on the first page that steadily burns into a tremendous literary spectacle that transcends genre. I was riveted by the story and thoroughly impressed by the writing. This novel will stay with me for a long time."
