Hello and welcome to The Five Furies Trilogy, an epic fantasy that follows classic characters – warrior, archer, mage, healer and bard - on a quest to bring back long-lost dragons!

If you love D&D, adventure and coming of age stories, then read on :)

First, a quick overview of the books:

If you happen to be new to the Five Furies Trilogy then you may not know that Books 1 and 2 are already available in eBook and paperback formats.

With that in mind, you can pledge to receive any combination of books - maybe just Book 1, for now? No problem. Or, if you've already read Books 1 & 2, then Book 3, Dark Fang, is available by itself.

You can also sample the story, characters and writing style of the trilogy via War Heart, in an extended excerpt available here:

Okay, here are three key reasons:

1: Get exclusive campaign rewards;
2: Get paperbacks cheaper than retail; and
3: Get Dark Fang (Book 3) before everyone else (as in, before non-backers and before retailers)

And one more reason - I'll be able to finish the trilogy sooner, meaning you get the books sooner.

Time for an overview of the rewards.

In short, the Five Furies Trilogy campaign includes the following base rewards:

The campaign also features exclusive ‘add-ons’ like signed paperbacks, bookmarks, posters, notebooks, sticker packs and t-shirts – all of which will be unavailable after the campaign ends! 

These rewards all feature Marcel’s absolutely amazing cover art and you can see some examples in the pic below:

The main part of this campaign is aimed at funding the beautiful watercolour artwork by Marcel Mosqi for Book 3, Dark Fang. 

Of course, I also have to pay fees to Backerkit and payment processors – so here's a pie chart breaking the costs down:

Funds above and beyond the base goal will go to the existing Stretch Goals or Editing costs - but either way, you still receive the paperback(s) or eBook(s).

Speaking of Stretch Goals, I do have a few planned - two of which are secret (for now!)

I'd love your help getting to the full colour map especially, but obviously, I want to reach all the goals.

As you know, Dark Fang is the only book that needs to be written, since War Heart (Book 1) and Scales of Fire (Book 2) are already available...

...which means I could send those two books out early. If this is something you'd like, please see the FAQ for more detail.

Here's an overview of the current campaign timeline:

Of course, digital rewards can be delivered prior to print copies.

I’m Ashley Capes, and I’m a novelist, poet and ex-teacher from Australia.

Hello again!

If you're a returning reader who backed previous campaigns, thank you once more. I absolutely would not have made it this far without you all :)

As it turns out, this is actually my fifth crowdfunding project, so I am familiar with the process. Further, my team and I are pretty efficient at this point – having published 20 other titles over my career.

I’ll be updating this campaign regularly but you can always contact me via my email:

If you're new to my work, here's some of my other epic fantasy books:

As you can see, I've been writing for a fair while and would like to add that I have zero plans to slow down.

Aside from writing, I love Ghibli films and (solo) gaming. I also play a bit of indoor volleyball - even if my knees tend to hate me for it XD
