The Bastard Prince Pre-Release Special Edition Is LIVE!
Share
It’s officially happening.
My upcoming romantasy, The Bastard Prince, is LIVE on BackerKit, and the pre-release special edition is now available to claim.
I’ve been working on this book—and the world surrounding it—for what feels like forever, so getting to finally say that you can officially claim your copy feels a little surreal.
And because I apparently don’t know how to do anything small, I didn’t want to just release a book.
I wanted to create an entire collector experience around it.
Welcome to Tenebral
Some kings inherit their crowns. Others carve them from blood and shadow.
Reyes Cruz Calderón fought his way to the throne of Tenebral, overthrowing a tyrant and claiming a kingdom that was never meant to be his.
But taking a throne is one thing.
Keeping it is another.
With enemies gathering, unrest threatening his new reign, and the other kingdoms of Ixcana watching his every move, Reyes needs something that can legitimize his claim.
He needs a queen.
Unfortunately, Aireya has absolutely no intention of becoming one.
What follows is a slow-burn fantasy romance filled with political intrigue, dangerous magic, razor-sharp banter, forbidden desire, and two people who have very different ideas about what their futures are supposed to look like.
If you love:
⚔️ Morally gray heroes
🔥 Enemies to lovers
👑 Political marriage
🖤 Forced proximity
⚔️ Possessive, touch-her-and-die heroes
🌑 Shadow magic
🔥 Slow-burn tension
👑 Kingdoms, court politics & dangerous secrets
...welcome to Ixcana.
You’re going to fit right in.
The Pre-Release Special Edition
For this campaign, I wanted to create an edition of The Bastard Prince that feels like something pulled straight out of the world itself.
Depending on the edition and reward tier you choose, the campaign includes gorgeous collector details and exclusive extras like special edition paperback and hardcover copies, custom artwork, sprayed edges, foil details, a map of Ixcana, stained-glass character overlays, collector swag, and more.
And because this is a BackerKit campaign, things have gotten a little...unhinged.
There are multiple reward tiers ranging from the ebook all the way up to the Royal Treasury, which includes the paperback, hardcover, ebook, artwork, and swag.
There are also optional add-ons if you want to build your own little piece of Tenebral.
Basically, you can be reasonable about this.
Or you can join me in making questionable financial decisions in the name of pretty books.
I support both choices.
And We’ve Already Unlocked Stretch Goals
One of my favorite parts of doing this through BackerKit is that the more the campaign grows, the more I get to add to it.
We’ve already unlocked multiple stretch goals, which means the special editions are getting even better thanks to everyone who has backed and shared the campaign.
And there’s still more waiting to be unlocked.
So whether you’ve been waiting for The Bastard Prince since I first started teasing Reyes and Aireya, or you just stumbled across this book and thought ruthless shadow prince who needs a queen? Say less...
I’d love to have you along for this one.
Come claim your edition, choose your rewards, and enter the Kingdom of Tenebral.
