Shipments Packed!
WOW! What a whirlwind of a month! August was a super fun month where I got to figure out everything there is to know about logistics, packing, shipping, and whatever else I had to uncover to make sure I delivered a solid product to you all!
If you chose shipping as your delivery method, your books will be heading out the door and onto a UPS truck likely on Monday, September 14, 2026! Some of you might get your copies before the official launch and that’s totally okay! Open ‘em up and dive right in! I’d love to hear your thoughts on the book!
For those that are joining me in celebrating the launch of the book in person, I am looking forward to seeing you! I have sent evites out as of Tuesday, September 1st, so if you haven’t gotten anything make sure to check your junk/spam folder! Apparently some mail clients think my stuff is trash, hah.
If you haven’t RSVP’d yet, I’d really appreciate you doing so as soon as possible so I can get a proper headcount over to the bookshop! It’s shaping up to be a fun event and I can’t wait to give this project the proper send off!
Pre-order pricing will wrap up after launch day, 9.22.26, so if you haven’t ordered your book, head over now to enjoy a discount before pricing changes to standard ($25 PB, $36 HC, all unsigned). After launch, I’ll only be signing books at designated book faires, markets, and author events at shops! So, check that out before the 22nd.
Speaking of the online shop, I’ve been hard at work showcasing some of the amazing art that I’ve commissioned from artists around the world (and locally!). I will carry inventory of 8×10 cardstock myself and have partnered with an amazing printing provider based out of Minnesota for all my fancy cuts (giclées in 8×10 and 16×20). Check out the listing for some of the art here and let me know if you have any questions. I personally ordered 16×20 torchon giclées of the four realms and hung them up in my house. The quality is incredible.

Character Prints: COMING SOON! Look forward to locally designed prints of Ava, Xochi, The Siblings (Ananke, Phanes, and Chronos), Odin, and The Ferryman.
I also submitted an order for more stickers! Besides the currently available chibi snek, I’ll have some stickers representing each of the realms of the book!

FAQ:
But Luis – why do I want another copy of the book I already bought from you?
>> I’m glad you asked. I’d love it if you could give it to a friend or loved one (or even an enemy!) As a small author doing grassroots marketing, the best thing I can hope for is for people to share my story near and far! Give it to someone as a gift! Share it with a coworker! Send it to your friend who works in Hollywood who wants the next big thing to turn into a movie or series! This is a shameless self-plug to get TPOC out there :)
I’ve got to legally mention this part in case someone brought a +1 who's raffle-curious but book-less. No purchase necessary!
>>Stop by the Author Table and scan the Alternative Method of Entry QR code or fill out the paper form available with your name, email, and how you heard about the event to receive 1 free raffle entry. Optionally, check the box if you'd like to hear about future book releases and events from L.F. Rosales. Totally up to you, and it won't affect your entry either way.
Thanks for all your support!
