Does this book have spice? Any content warnings?
No spice—this is an older middle-grade / young adult fantasy novel that focuses on adventure, friendship, and self-discovery. The story follows Anira and Naiya as they navigate their relationships with family, friends, and spirit-like beings.
That said, there are a few moments of tension:
- Anira has a brief encounter with a woman who dies (though no graphic details are shown).
- Naiya witnesses what appears to be a murder by magic (again, without graphic detail).
- Naiya is captured, tied up, and placed in a cage to be transported elsewhere.
While these moments add stakes to the story, they are handled with care and remain appropriate for middle-grade readers.

Is "Anira and the Spirit of Magic" the first book in a series?
Anira and the Spirit of Magic is the first in a two-part series.
My first illustrated novel, Naiya and the Foxdragon, serves as a prequel—a teaser into this larger world of stories. While both books share some locations and characters, Anira and the Spirit of Magic introduces a new main character, fresh locations, and deeper layers of magic.
So whether you’re returning to my world or discovering it for the first time, this is the perfect place to start!

Is there an ebook of the novel?
At this time, I’m focusing solely on the full-color print editions for this project. While I haven’t ruled out an ebook version in the future, I currently have no plans to release one.

Is this project "EU Friendly"?
Yes!
For backers living in the EU AND the United Kingdom, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland: Our regional partner, AlpenCrowd (located in Vienna, Austria), will handle both import and fulfillment. All packages going to the above-listed countries will be shipped from the EU.
Any additional country-appropriate duties/VAT/fees will be collected separately through BackerKit after the Kickstarter ends, as Kickstarter’s system cannot calculate these extra costs at checkout.
Thank you for your support—I truly appreciate my international readers!

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
