Mourning’s Dawn Preorder

Mourning’s Dawn Preorder

Mourning’s Dawn is now available for preorder!  (It’s official release date is October 8.) You can purchase it from Patreon and Etsy now, and Amazon in the near future. Enjoy multiple purchase options with lots of free gifts!

 

Please read below to find the preorder option that works best for you!

Not all platforms pay authors the same

As many of you know, I’m publishing independently. This let me do things like make sure Mourning’s Dawn had an amazing cover that actually matched its contents and create side projects tied to The Iyarri Chronicles at large. What that also means is I’m paying for the cost, upfront, of bringing these to print. I’m ultra-transparent about these costs on my Patreon page if you want to see the breakdown, but the short version is that buying Heaven’s Silhouette and Mourning’s Dawn from Patreon and Etsy supports me and my continued work on The Iyarri Chronicles directly. Each of these platforms takes about 10% of a cut from the purchase price.

 

By comparison, Amazon will take 56%. Preordering through Patreon and Etsy also gets you bonus preorder gifts, which you won’t get anywhere else!

Feather color choices, top to bottom: Bright Gold, Dark Silver, Bright Copper, Brass, Bright Silver, Dark Copper

Become a Patron for Discounts and Special Patron-Gifts

Before ordering consider becoming a Patron!  Even if you order on Etsy instead of Patreon, being a Patron at one of these tiers will get you exclusive freebies, discounts, and hopefully help us hit our next Patreon Goal: Chapter by Chapter.

 

The biggest perk though? If you preorder and are a Patron at any tier, you do not have to wait until October 8 for your copy. I will send out the ebooks and hardcovers as soon as I have them!

  • Choose the color of your feather bookmark (see above) if you purchase a hardcover
  • Choose your copy number if you purchase a hardcover, and have matching copy numbers if you purchase Heaven’s Silhouette and Mourning’s Dawn
  • Get a free upgrade to the Patron-only copy of any Iyarri Chronicles ebook, which contains the first chapter of the next book
  • Access to exclusive blog posts and Q&As with Melissa on Patreon
Join $2 Tier
  • 15% off Evergreen Patron Discount– meaning you can take 15% off your preorder and everything else you buy that same month at NightBlooming on Etsy
  • All of the benefits listed at the $2 tier
Join $7 Tier

We’re SO CLOSE to hitting this goal!  Every patron, no matter what the tier helps.This would be so cool to unlock for everyone.

Hardcover Preorder Options

The hardcover of Mourning’s Dawn is exquisite. I wanted the physical book to be a true representation of the work inside. 420 pages long, it includes the first chapter of Iyarri Chronicles Book 3. The book itself has copper foil stamping, each page is printed on high-quality paper, and the dust jacket is matte with a spot-gloss finish, making it a total joy to hold in your hands.

 

And YES, I will combine shipping for you. It doesn’t matter if you’re ordering through Patreon or Etsy, I’m more than happy to bundle anything you order from NightBlooming up with your book in October, weigh the box, and refund you any shipping overages!
