"Wow I love it."
subscriber (after the first gift)

What's landing in your inbox this week:

Day 1

Faction. Chapters. Song.

Depending on how you've interacted with the World of Exousia before, you'll either get an opportunity to join one of the four great factions, hear an exclusive song from the world, or read the opening chapters of The First Stone.

Day 3

Before / After.

See what the first page of The First Stone looked like before and after we got the editor of the bestselling series Red Rising.

Day 7

Pre-book Lore Piece.

An artifact that the Dark Star faction uncovered from before the first Nightmare attack. Why did the Arbiter want this seemingly harmless flier buried?

What other subscribers said after they got the gifts:

  • First dibs on ARC opportunities (advanced copies of the book)
  • Behind-the-scenes from drafting book 2
