Borne to Unfurl

About the Writer

Echoes of history. Stories that remember what it means to be human.

Kiernan Antares is a literary historical fiction author whose work explores the enduring tensions between memory and belonging. Her stories trace the interior lives of individuals shaped by war, faith, love, and loss — moving across generations and landscapes to illuminate the quiet resilience binding past to present.

With prose both tender and precise, Kiernan writes not to offer escape, but return — a return to the emotional truths that endure beneath history’s surface, and to the fragile, luminous threads of connection that endure through history’s darkest chapters.

The Hand That Sows The Stars

Two crossings.  One spoken past.  A journey toward forgiveness.

In 1947, Henry McRae, a fisherman-turned soldier haunted by war, boards the RMS Queen Elizabeth for England carrying a battered journal and a rare copy of Keats’s Endymion. Across the sea, Mary Shefford — a London bookbinder and the woman he once loved — hides a secret that will alter the course of their lives.
