Hi friends!

I have another exciting The Bastard Prince update to share—we officially passed $10,000 in funding, which means we've unlocked our FOURTH stretch goal!

When I launched this campaign, I hoped readers would be excited about this story and these special editions, but the response has already exceeded my expectations. And the best part? Every stretch goal we unlock makes your rewards even better.

So far, we've unlocked:

Stretch Goal #1 — Reversible Dust Jacket
Our special edition hardcover is getting an upgrade with an exclusive reversible jacket.

Stretch Goal #2 — Ribbon Bookmark
We're adding a built-in ribbon bookmark to make our collector edition even more special.

Stretch Goal #3 — Foiled Aireya & Reyes Character Cards
Every backer—including digital backers—will receive exclusive foiled character cards featuring our FMC and MMC, Aireya and Reyes.

Stretch Goal #4 — Los Sombras Enamel Pin
We just unlocked this one! Every backer who pledges to a physical goods tier will receive an exclusive enamel pin featuring the symbol of Los Sombras—Tenebral's Shadows, Reyes' elite army.

And we're not finished yet.

Our next stretch goal unlocks at $25,000, and this is our biggest one yet. Even better, if we reach it, it will be available to ALL backers—digital and physical.

If you've been following the campaign but haven't pledged yet, I'd absolutely love to have you join us.

Whether you grab the $8 digital tier, one of our campaign-exclusive special editions, or go all-in on a collector bundle, every pledge brings us closer to that next goal—and unlocks even more for everyone who has supported The Bastard Prince.

Thank you for following along, sharing the campaign, and cheering this book on. Seeing so many readers excited to meet Reyes and Aireya and step into the world of Ixcana has been incredible.
