You probably should! While this book might stand all right on its own, it is a direct continuation of the previous book, The Tale That Twines. It also assumes you already have some familiarity with the world and characters. I recommend reading the series in order.

Unfortunately, due to time and budget constraints as a disabled person, I am currently unable to comply with certain parts of the new GPSR rules for shipping to EU countries. Other small businesses and creators you know may be able to do this, but I currently cannot. Paperbacks are/will be available in many EU countries through retailers like Amazon. Thank you for understanding.

The eBook files are .epub and are compatible with all major eReaders. Instructions for how to upload them to your device will be provided when the files are sent out. Don't worry, it's easy!

The Eternal Library series is adult fantasy fiction. The main characters are mostly in their twenties and thirties, with mentors in their forties to seventies. That said, I personally think it is appropriate for readers age 16 and up, provided that you're okay with some mild sexual content (much less than you find in many YA books these days) and cursing for your teen reader.

First, pledges are not charged until the end of the campaign, provided it has reached its goal. If the campaign has not ended, you can simply cancel your pledge, as no payment has yet been made. After payment has been collected but before rewards ship, I will consider refunds on a case-by-case basis. Generally I will only give them if it is some sort of financial emergency. After rewards have been shipped, I only provide refunds if the rewards have been lost, heavily damaged during transit, or have severe printing errors. Typically, though, people opt to receive free replacement rewards instead of a refund in these cases. Once rewards are shipped, I do not provide refunds for any other reason.

Currently, the projected shipping time is December 2025. It may then take several days or weeks for your rewards to arrive in the mail. Christmas/holiday delivery not guaranteed. If this date changes, backers will be notified in updates.

USA customers - USPS Media Mail or USPS Ground Advantage Canada/Mexico customers - UPS Standard Everywhere else - UPS Worldwide Expedited Different services may be available in select cases, subject to discussion during the fulfillment period, but are not guaranteed. I am not planning to use USPS for International orders this time because of weight restrictions and also a general tendency to mishandle International packages. I understand that in some places UPS may incur extra fees, but I am committed to shipping your rewards as safely as possible. International backers are responsible for all and any taxes or fees that may accompany your package, based on your country's import laws.

Somewhat! I am working with printers within the USA to reduce my carbon footprint and ensure better labor practices, compared to printing overseas in China. I do not currently have the option for eco-friendly/recycled paper or inks, but I do use eco-friendly shipping supplies from EcoEnclose. The inks I use for my handmade prints are also eco-friendly, made by Cranfield.

Yes, and no! For The Flame That Sings, ebooks and paperbacks will be available through my shop and various retailers after the campaign rewards have been fulfilled. The hardcover editions, however, are exclusive to this campaign. Ebooks and paperbacks for book 1 and book 2 are already available, multiple retailer links here: https://numinousspiritpress.com/eternallibrary

BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.

If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.

Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.

1. Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
2. Select any add-ons
3. Confirm your pledge!

• You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
• Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.

After the campaign ends, you'll receive a survey to pay for any applicable shipping fees, calculated based on your shipping address.

Pay Over Time allows you to split your pledge into multiple payments over a set period. Your card will be charged according to the payment schedule (four monthly payments). Only available for projects that enable this feature. Learn More »

Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.

You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.

Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.

For specific questions about your pledge or the project, you can view the Project FAQ below, search for your answer within the project, or send a message to the BackerKit Support Team or to the project creator.
