♪ Beyond the Hills
The Official Theme Song of The WayMaker Saga. Listen as you explore our new home!
Every great journey begins with a dream of what lies beyond the horizon. Beyond the Hills is the signature theme of The WayMaker Saga, carrying the spirit of faith, family, courage, discovery, and the generations whose stories are yet to unfold.
A New Home for Stories, Discovery, and Adventure
Today, we are thrilled to announce that thewaymakersaga.com is officially live!
This is a landmark moment for Stone & Arrow™ and the unveiling of something we have been building with deep care: an immersive world of historical storytelling, family learning, hands-on curiosity, and adventure.
At the heart of it all is The WayMaker Saga™—an epic historical fiction series spanning more than 300 years and 20 books. Across generations, it follows families whose lives are shaped by faith, courage, hardship, ingenuity, and the quiet choices that echo forward through time.
But The WayMaker Saga is far more than a collection of books. It is an invitation for families to read, sing, create, discover, and experience history together.
Where the Journey Begins
Our opening volume, Behind the Sea: The Road to Bath, carries readers back to the early 1700s. When Joshua and Sara Davis leave Scotland with their young children, John and Elspeth, in search of a new life, an unexpected turn across the Atlantic leaves them washed ashore on the unfamiliar coast of colonial Carolina.
What follows is a story of resilience, unexpected friendship, faith, and the courage to begin again. Through the Davises’ eyes, readers step into a living world of real historical events, rugged landscapes, and the daily grit required to build a home from the ground up. Running beneath every page is a simple, enduring truth: the choices we make, the kindness we show, and the wisdom we pass down can shape generations yet to come.
More Than Books — A Fully Immersive Experience
Our greatest hope for The WayMaker Saga™ is to carry these stories far beyond the printed page. Through Stone & Arrow Press, Stone & Arrow Academy, and the Stone & Arrow Research Institute, we have built an integrated ecosystem where storytelling sparks curiosity and hands-on exploration brings history to life:
- Stone & Arrow Press™ — Stories That Last Our publishing division brings The WayMaker Saga™ and companion collections to life through historical fiction, illustrated editions, journals, and field publications—stories crafted to entertain while opening doors to character, imagination, and a deeper understanding of the world.
- Stone & Arrow Academy™ — Curiosity Comes Alive Our Academy extends the books into tactile learning experiences for children, parents, grandparents, and lifelong explorers. Through Curiosity Guides, Explorer Journals, activity kits, coloring pages, music, and outdoor adventures, families can investigate the science, history, nature, and practical skills woven into the narrative. Readers won’t simply read about a compass—they will learn how navigation works. They won’t just pass a blacksmith’s forge—they will explore the tools, ironwork, and ingenuity that built early settlements. And they won’t merely read about historic landscapes—they will step outside, observe the wonders of creation, and discover how the natural world connects us across centuries. Our guiding philosophy is simple: Ask. Explore. Discover. Understand.
- Stone & Arrow Research Institute ™— Exploring the World Behind the Stories Our Research Institute anchors everything in careful historical exploration and scientific inquiry. We investigate the people, technologies, natural systems, and discoveries that shaped each era of the saga—connecting rigorous research with accessible storytelling so families can ask bold questions, examine evidence, and cultivate a lifelong love of discovery.
Music, Creativity, and Family Adventures
Storytelling doesn’t stop with words alone. Original music is woven into the fabric of The WayMaker Saga™, giving voice to the emotions, landscapes, and journeys of our characters in a whole new way.
Alongside the music, families will find practical ways to create together—from printable coloring pages and Explorer Journals to hands-on projects inspired by the world of the books. As our collections grow, we will continue introducing new ways to experience the real places and living history behind the saga.
Our goal is simple: to give families compelling reasons to put down their screens, gather around a table, step outdoors, make something with their hands, and discover the world together.
Ask. Explore. Discover. Understand.
