If you’ve wished you could collect newsletter and Patreon stories on your physical bookshelf beside Oak King Holly King and Tales from Blackthorn Briar, this is for you!
A Nest Within Briars will be the newest anthology in the Oak King Holly King series. It will collect four stories into a single volume, including…
- The Unveiling of Daniel Durst – wherein Daniel shows his true self to his guardian for the first time.
- Bruises Bloom in Blackthorn Briar – a bonus scene from Oak King Holly King, taking place between the confrontation at Cemetery Gate and the Summer Solstice Duel.
- Bookseller and Bone-Setter – wherein an unfortunate accident forces Hullvardr to reveal certain fae truths to his mortal beloved, Mr Ephraim Grigsby.
- Sentiment – wherein the Oak and Holly Kings return to Wren’s ancestral home to retrieve certain articles of a sensitive magical nature.
Our cover artist is Deiridaa (she/her). She has lots of experience with fantasy and romance illustration and will be creating a beautiful cover painting for A Nest Within Briars. Check out more of her work on Instagram, @deiridaa
In addition to ebook and paperback editions of A Nest Within Briars, the Kickstarter will also feature stickers designed by Ace (they/them). They’ve created wonderful couples portraits of Ephraim and Hullvardr, Daniel and Sukie, Nell and Everilda, and soon… Shrike and Wren? Check out more of their work on Instagram, @_art_by_ace_
The Kickstarter campaign will begin March 1st and end on the Vernal Equinox, March 21st. (Fitting for Shrike and Wren as denizens of the fae realms.) Back it on Kickstarter today!
And as always, thank you for reading.
