Friends, Aurans, Countrymen -
The time is nearly at hand. After months of delay, the Annals of the Auran Empire BackerKit campaign is set to launch. The campaign will go live at 1PM Eastern on November 3rd. The Emperor tier rewards are certain to go fast, so if you want to commission an illustration for the book, be sure to pledge quickly.

The 208-page anthology features stories by John C. Wright, A Kristina Casasent, Ruth Clara, B. K. Gibson, Nathaniel McIntyre, Jonathan Oldenburg, Brian Renninger, Sam Robb, and Zane Voss. It will be available in e-book, trade paperback, and collectible hardcover format. Early birds who pledge for the collectible hardcover within the first 48 hours will receive a complimentary copy of Jonathan Oldenburg's novel Tears From Iron in e-book format.

This is Autarch's first foray into fiction for the Auran Empire, but hopefully not our last. With your support, we can begin to expand the world and continue to work with marvelous fantasy authors worldwide. If you're not already following the campaign, sign up now to unlock an exclusive preview of Chapter 1 of John C. Wright's story.
