This book is deeply personal to me, and this recognition is an incredible honor. I’ve spent years building this world—crafting its magic, mythology, and characters—and seeing it resonate with both readers and industry professionals means everything.
Thank you for believing in this book and bringing it to life alongside me! 💙

Bringing the book to life
Now that we’ve hit our funding goal, here’s what’s coming up:
-
Production Begins: I’m already working closely with my printer to finalize details and get everything ready for print! This includes ordering paper and picking the perfect shade of rich green for the limited-edition cloth cover. (Exciting news—I just sent off the first deposit to get things moving ahead of schedule. Yay!)
-
Exclusive Rewards: If you haven’t yet, check out the Kickstarter-exclusive tiers, including special editions and collectible add-ons! Once those limited edition books are gone, they're gone forever!
-
Stretch Goals? Stay tuned—I have some exciting ideas to make this project even better. More on that next week!
-
On Prints & Add-Ons: I’ve had a few requests for the print set or worldbuilding sketchbook as standalone add-ons. Right now, I’ve designed everything to keep fulfillment as smooth as possible—adding more options complicates things.
For now, I’m keeping the campaign setup the same, but if anything changes, I’ll be sure to update you here!
A Glimpse Into the World
Anira and Naiya, the book's two main characters, live on the same island, yet their lives couldn’t be more different. When an unexpected encounter changes everything, they find themselves caught in a journey neither of them could have predicted...
Story excerpt: Chapter two
Spread the word
We may be fully funded, but more backers mean
a bigger print run, stretch goals, and more surprises! If you know someone who would love this book,
send them this link.
Thank you again for making this possible—(Truly! This is all because of you!)
I can’t wait to share more updates soon!
