Hey there, everyone, hope you all had a lovely weekend!
Thanks so much for your support - we finished off strong with just over $58k! Thank you so much for being here for the second installment of The Shattered Reigns series, A Blood of Kings! <3
MOVING FORWARD...
Here is what you can expect in the coming weeks and months.
First, Kickstarter will begin processing payments for your pledges. That will take approximately 2 weeks. If you did not use Pledge Over Time, this will be the full amount of your pledge. If you opted to use Pledge Over Time, this will be the first 1/3rd of your total pledge.
If you selected Pledge Over Time, your second payment will be on or around March 27th, followed by your third and final payment on or around April 27th.
Once the final payment has been made for Pay Over Time backers, we will send out all surveys to the email addresses you have attached to your Kickstarter account. We expect this to occur by or around April 27th.
Answer your survey questions and grab any extra Add-Ons you want. For those of you asking how to make your tier selections, you'll do that here. Due to the shipping beta test, shipping will be charged at this time.
As we get all of the products made, you can expect to see an update from us 1-2 times a month. So stay tuned here for all the latest!
Once we have the products and are ready to start fulfillment, we will post an update and send an email giving everyone 48 hours to update their addresses if needed. Once that window closes, you will not be able to update your address yourself and will need to contact us directly to make those changes.
With addresses locked, we will start packing and shipping. This final step will take some time. We appreciate your patience. <3
As a reminder, if you have questions about the Pledge Over Time feature, you can visit this help center article for more information or reach out to Kickstarter’s support team here.
Please be aware that the times mentioned above are estimates. We try to stick to them as much as possible, but sometimes it takes an extra day or two to move on to the next phase of the process.
TO REITERATE THE SHIPPING BETA TEST...
In case you missed it on the campaign page, we are beta testing something new for this project (and likely for the rest of 2026)!
We've gotten a range of feedback over the last year about how to make our books more accessible to everyone, and one of the most common places we hear we could make a simple change is by charging shipping later so that it's an additional opportunity to split the product costs.
All shipping and handling fees will be processed on BackerKit when you fill out your backer survey, which will be sent out 2-3 weeks after the campaign ends.
THIS WILL NOT CHANGE THE SHIPPING COST. We have outlined what every item's shipping will be post-campaign below so you can account for it immediately!
GETTING SUPPORT...
Finally, if you require assistance with your pledge or have another question that does not pertain to Pledge Over Time, please send an email to [email protected]. We’re open Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm EST and will be happy to help however we can (it usually takes 3 to 5 business days to get back to you, but we do answer all tickets in need of a response).
Talk soon, and thank you all!
Second Stretch Goal Smashed!
25 days ago

Hey everyone!
The second stretch goal has officially been crossed - woohoo!
With the $50k mark surpassed, each of the books will now be printed on 90GSM paper stock! This will ensure greater durability and resilience for even the most enthusiastic of readers. If you're a more gentle reader, then you'll appreciate the lush quality of the pages, especially paired with a soft blanket and a cozy reading nook!
Next up is the $100k stretch goal! Once we make it here, we'll unlock one additional black and white illustration for the interior. Who doesn't love extra art??
Thank you all again so much! We'll see you in the next one!
First Stretch Goal Reached!

Hey there everyone!
The first stretch goal has officially been unlocked - thank you so much! With the $25k goal reached, each of the books will now be printed on thicker paper! Increasing the stock from 70GSM to 80GSM will make the books more rugged and durable while also giving them a more quality feel!
The next goal on the horizon is yet another paper upgrade; from 80GSM to 90GSM, this increase in stock will ensure these pages are up-to-snuff for multiple reads! Let's reach that goal!
This campaign is a special one for us as it's where Wraithmarked began. We all feel a great sense of pride making this second installment come to life, and whether you're a frequent Wraithmarked reader or a newcomer, we're thrilled you're here. <3
Thank you all so much!
And we're funded!

Hey everyone!
Wow, everyone! In just under an hour, y'all have helped us reach our funding goal (and then some)! Book one of this series, A Mark of Kings, was our first project on Kickstarter all the way back in October of 2021, and it's hard to believe how far we've come. So, if you're joining us again or jumping in for the first time, thank you so much!
Thank you!
Now, we have a bunch of stretch goals lined up for this project! First, at $25k, we'll be able to upgrade the paper stock used in each of the books from 70 gsm to 80 gsm. This improvement will not only give the books a more premium feel, but will make them more resilient to repeated reads!
