And that means only one thing... time for shopping!

Maybe you're looking for the perfect gift, or you're treating yourself to a little something special (hey, you deserve a reward for all that hard work choosing gifts!) Either way, I've got you covered.

From gorgeous hardcovers that literally glisten, to paperbacks with gorgeous set-aligning edges, there's something for every urban fantasy lover.

This campaign is structured as a "build your own bundle", giving you complete flexibility to choose exactly what you want.

Start by pledging at the "Build Your Own Gift", then browse through all of the add-ons and choose as many as you want. But be warned: quanities are limited, so don't hang about! As a bonus, just for backing the £1 pledge level, you'll also receive an ebook edition of Druid Academy: The First Semester

Once the campaign ends, your gifts will be shipped to you!

Actual stocking not included, sorry 😉 

Do you enjoy found family friendships, academic chaos, and the kind of awkward chosen one who accidentally sets her own clothes on fire?

Do you love protagonists who face down dark magic with sarcasm, questionable plans, and friends who won't let them die (probably)?

And do you want a series where the hippogryff that everyone fears behaves like an overgrown puppy around you?

If so, you've come to the right place. This special edition omnibus contains all three books from the Druid Academy series with gold gilt edges and character art.

All the other schools turned her down. Her last remaining option could spell her annihilation.

Eighteen-year-old Lyssa Eldridge’s university prospects keep going up in smoke. But even after her final rejection notice ignites in her hands and sparks her latent abilities, she’s sure her supposed admission into Dragondale Academy of Druidic Magic is just a sick joke. Until her recruiter arrives and whisks her into a world of elemental powers, shady professors… and a spate of vicious student attacks.

Ill-equipped to handle her aggressive pet hippogryff, facing a looming werewolf war, and dealing with snarky refugees from other academies, Lyssa’s tired of being an outsider playing catch-up. But she’ll have to master her out-of-control gifts to have any hope of defeating a relentless foe: a deadly druid filled with blood rage.

Will Lyssa graduate from spellcasting failure to school saviour, or is she destined to fatally flunk out?

This special edition hardcover features a gorgeous cover courtesy of Mayflower Studio, and a whole host of special features to make it truly deserve a spot on your bookshelf, including:

In addition to the gorgeous hardcover, we also have these absolutely stunning covers for the paperbacks, not to mention a set of gorgeous printed edges. The paperback set features:

Pair of Special Edition Quote Bookmarks Two stunning bookmarks with art on one side, and a quote from the series on the reverse, and an additional third bookmark revealing your elemental alignment!

Bookmark mini swag pack Three stunning and quirky bookmarks + one hippogryff* feather

*Okay, it's not really from a hippogryff, because I didn't want to get bitten.

Art prints There are two pieces of art available with this campaign - one with our heroine Lyssa riding hippgryff Stormclaw, and the other featuring Lyssa with her two besties, Kelsey and Sam. See below for a sneak peek!

Vellum overlays Both of the scenes above are ALSO included as vellum overlays, because we deserve vellum overlays, right??

I'm C. S. Churton, author of the Druid Academy series, as well as the three other series that make up the Primal Powers Universe.

I live in Essex, England, with my three dogs and my five million story ideas. As a kid, reading was one of my favourite things in the world, and that didn't change as I grew up. Somewhere along the way, I discovered writing, and becoming an author has added a whole new layer of enjoyment to my life...mostly (fans of the
TalentBorn series, yeah, I'm talking about that scene. I cried.)

Urban fantasy remains one of my very favourite genres, and when I'm not writing I can usually be found devouring my latest read, usually with a dog or three sprawled across my lap, or out on a walk dreaming up new ideas.

Please note, these books will ship from the UK, and shipping will be charged separately after the end of the campaign. Backerkit will calculate this for you, though to give you some idea, shipping to the US from the UK typically starts at around £20. Your country may impose tariffs or customs charges, and these are the backer's responsibility and are paid to your government, not to me. So if you're not sure, please do check before ordering. Thanks again for checking out my campaign!
