All the Swag for Blades Reforged
Almost a year since we looked at swag for Lost Blades, here we are. Still on the internet! Success!
Oh, and we have the swag for Blades Reforged! Which will be out on September 12 of this year, exactly one year after the launch of Lost, creating a beautiful circle. I love circles. They are wonderful. Very…. circuitous.
Anyway.
Let’s look at the preorder gifts for Reforged!
Swag for In-Person Purchases
There are a bunch of fun goodies for buying directly from me at in-person events, preordering a physical book through my direct website, or being a member of the Blades of the Goddess tier on my Ream:
Bookmarks
There are two options — one in white and pale purple with a stylized Jitsu, and one in violet with Hades’s glaive on it. They will have matching tassels, and the back features a design inspired by the book cover with the tag line. You can pick which option you’d like!
You can also buy any bookmark I’ve had available on my website, which includes the two designs from Lost (Jamirh and Takeshi), the two designs from Broken (Jeri and Ander), and the design from Colors (a soul crystal).
Map Postcards
There are two maps in the front of Blades Reforged, but they aren’t in color. This isn’t too much of an issue — they are available for free to look at here on my website — but if you buy from me directly you get two 8.5”x5.5” postcards with full-color images of the maps, plus the continent map. Great to look at while reading! Or just to look at, if maps are your thing! Also, the Western Espon map is updated to show new locations from Reforged.
Stickers
We have four vinyl stickers of our main characters! Jamirh, Jeri, Ander, and Hel have all new, updated chibi designs for these adorable little 2.5” stickers.
Like the bookmarks, if you missed any of the previous designs or you want more, they are available on my website.
Extra Secret Bonus!
There will be an extra physical bonus for those who buy hardcopy preorders directly from my store (or are subbed to the Blades of the Goddess tier on Ream). I’ll be announcing what this is soon to my newsletter and Ream followers, so follow me in one of those two places for the secret bonus news!
Preorder Bonuses
While all the above items are only available if you buy directly from me, there are a number of fun digital goodies everyone who preorders Blades Reforged can receive regardless of where or in what format you purchased it! There is a form on the front page of this website where you can submit a screenshot of proof of purchase and supply your email, allowing you to download most of these immediately, and get the last thing delivered to your inbox when the book goes live in September:
Hi-res Digital Maps
I like maps. I’ve always enjoyed flipping to the map at the front of the book I was reading to see where the characters are or just look at the art. But some people don’t like flipping, and that’s okay! And I personally find it a little difficult to keep swapping back and forth in an ebook between the chapter and the map. So all three maps will be sent out digitally. You can print them, keep them open in another tab or device, whatever floats your boat. The map of the continents, the map of the countries, and the map of western Espon are all included.
Desktop and Phone Wallpapers
As with the preorders for the other books, there is a themed set of backgrounds for Blades Reforged. There are even two versions of the desktop one — a plain version, and one with box overlays in case you (like me) like to organize your desktop icons. These and the maps are all instant downloads.
Digital Glossary
You will get a separate pdf file with the glossary for Blades Reforged, just in case you want to keep it open while you read! This is also available whenever you claim your preorder bonuses.
Recipe “Book”
The last of the digital preorder bonuses is this recipe book, featuring more than 10 recipes mentioned throughout the Blades of the Goddess saga, such as oyakodon, mini pumpkin breads, pumpkin spice lattes, and egg and potato omelettes! This will be emailed to you on September 12 when the book goes live :)
Additionally…
I also have bookplates! If you did not order from me directly, but would still like my signature to put in the book, you can email me a screenshot of proof of purpose and your address and I will mail you a signed bookplate you can put in the book for free.
And that’s all the fun stuff!
….For now.
Cheers!
