A spread of four books with covers that all depict towers in different architectural styles with a colourful sky as the background (pale blue, orange, purple, and green respectively). Above is the title “Isandor, the City of Spires”. Below, in a pale green rectangle, is the blurb for the series: Bickering merchant families vie for power through eccentric shows of wealth, their tower homes and magical gardens a stand-in for the gold in their vaults. When an idealistic noble challenges the newly-arrived Myrian Empire, he provokes a trade war that will ripple through the fancy towers, magical gardens, and dirty underbelly.
Another purple rectangle indicates this series is a mosaic-style POV, every narrator is queer, many of them are aro and/or ace, and it’s a finished series of 4 books. Finally, under that in an orange rectangle is a simple pitch: “Games of Thrones meets Mr. Rogers”

Welcome to the City of Spires, where gold flows up and shit flows down ~

A fully completed series with criss-crossing storylines, plenty of politics and action, but all centered on a core of kindness and trying to build a better world.

There are just TWO DAYS left to snag this bundle and get this kitty some treats!!

As a bonus, I will give all three of my cats one treat for every copy of the bundle sold between now and Friday

I will even attempt to film it, but no promises that the footage will be useful 😂😂

Every time I have gotten to see a Nerezia reader's reaction to the Wagon's personality in the latter half of the series it has been exactly what I wanted.

Also everyone who loves the adorable kitten scenes from FLOODED SECRETS :3

Exactly! it's helpful to see the text as it is and decide whether you want it to remain that way or were aiming for something else. You're still making all the decisions.

They've also gone the genAI way now, but the francophone Antidote (which has English tools) had a lot of features that just *highlight potential problems* (repetition, passive forms, sentences running very long, etc.) and lets you decide what to do with them, if anything

These are a mix of the Common Bonds 1 & 2 copies for Canadian backers, my own stock for future conventions, and Lost Traditions copies (at last!)

And I think some BT, iirc I was running out

I know this is, money-wise, the absolute worst time to ask for donations, but I made a thing for Katie's treatments. They'll be rather expensive, and I don't want to not do it because she's still young and spritely and this could be almost curative.

If THE TRAITOR AND THE WRETCH by Jasmine Walls isn't on your radar yet, add it!! The main characters are *so* good, it has a tight focus and a delightful relationship arc, and the aspec vibes are strong (and canon)

Real talk. Everybody who's backed so far is INCREDIBLE and as a contributor I am so grateful! You've unlocked extra stories, story crits, and more pay for authors and illustrators!

We just need to get to ONE MORE AUTHOR RAISE and the reason is: I spent the money already (on a magazine sub).
