Some announcements are a long time coming. The Gabellotto’s Daughter — the first novel in the I Veri series, by DM Matthews — is now available to pre-order in paperback, ahead of its full launch on 22 August 2026.
Sicily, 1873. A gabellotto is found dead on a church bench at dawn with a black river stone set in each open palm, and an entire town agrees — without one word spoken aloud — to have seen nothing at all. His daughter is seventeen. She will spend the next thirty years answering that stone.
It is the beginning of a thirty-year reckoning — and of I Veri, the True Ones, who answer a black stone with a white one.
Where to find it
The Kindle edition is available now. The paperback can be pre-ordered today from Amazon, and signed copies will be available directly from us through Cassaro Crafts. On 22 August, the book launches in full.
A word on pre-orders: for a small independent imprint they matter more than most readers realise. Every pre-order tells booksellers that a book has readers waiting for it. If you order early — thank you.
