A deluxe collector’s edition of the hotly anticipated dragon rider academy fantasy Wing Weaver, featuring a foiled hardcover, premium upgrades, and exclusive backer-only bonuses.
Wing Weaver is the first book a brand new fantasy series set at Aviara Academy, an elite institution that trains dragon riders. It follows Aeden Harrington, an Initiate who forms a forbidden bond with a dragon whose wings are permanently damaged, leaving her unable to ever fly.
In a world where flight defines power, Aeden and his dragon are branded as failures before their training even begins. As the Academy’s brutal expectations close in and hidden forces move within its walls, survival becomes a battle against tradition, prejudice, and enemies who rule the skies.
This campaign is the first opportunity to secure the Wing Weaver Deluxe Edition. Backers will receive early access to this premium release before it becomes available elsewhere.
By backing the campaign, you can also have your name printed in the acknowledgements, marking you as part of the first deluxe printing. In addition, the campaign offers exclusive merchandise, including the Aviara Academy metal pin badge, art prints, and bookmarks, created specifically for this release.
The Wing Weaver Deluxe Edition is a premium release designed to celebrate the story in its most complete form. This campaign marks the first opportunity to secure the Deluxe Edition, and the better the campaign performs, the more this edition will be enhanced.
As funding increases, additional upgrades will be unlocked and added directly to the Deluxe Edition. These include expanded interior design elements such as full-colour end pages, bespoke chapter headings, and further decorative features throughout the book. Every unlocked upgrade applies to all Deluxe Edition copies, meaning backers collectively shape the final version of the book.
The Cover
The Deluxe Edition features a striking purple-and-gold case design by Sheri-Lynn Marean, created to feel ceremonial, elegant, and worthy of display. Gold holofoil detailing brings the design to life, catching the light and giving the cover depth and movement rather than a flat finish.
The design extends seamlessly across the spine and onto the printed page edges, turning the book into a complete visual piece from every angle. Whether displayed on a shelf or held in hand, the Deluxe Edition is intended to feel special, intentional, and a true collectors piece.
Everyone backing this campaign will receive an advanced copy of the ebook of Wing Weaver one month before its official release. This will be sent out to everyone at the end of March.
