When I found out that Mercedes Lackey was going to have a book in Booktopia, I got so excited I started bouncing in my seat.
And we were on a car trip back from Illinois. You s...
And it's a game where nobody loses...unless you just don't play.
There will be a series of questions and as long as you participate in 80% of the questions, you'll get a prize, a little symbol of Ivy's heritage, to be mailed out with your rewards when it's time.
The questions will be posted in the polls...but be warned. As the poll progressed, people might figure out Ivy's secret.
If you don't want to have the secret spoiled...well, I guess you shouldn't play. However, there are layers to her secrets. Like ogres and onions. Cakes and parfaits. Yes, that's a Shrek reference. And some of that secret, you will never guess without reading the story.
Now...pick your team!
FYI, team names don't indicate *anything* at this point other than that's just the name you like, although, you will see this list again.

This is where we stand right now with stretch goals
eight illustrations, with two of them being NSFW and one will reveal Ivy as she truly is
interior illustrated map
colorized vellum inserts
a custom-designed dustjacket
foil bookmarks
Next up:
Another chibi commission, this time with Jonas showing off his beary-handsome self in bear form and Ivy...as well, that's still a secret. And we're less than $100 away! I'll use the art for another sticker order AND art prints.
Everybody who backed a physical tier will get the new stickers and the art prints, while I'll use the digital art to share with everybody.
At $7,000, we're talking printed end papers!!!
I had an idea of another goal to reach for if we can hit $8k but I'll like your thoughts.
