Kickstarter-First Launch of Quenched in Secrets . . . Epic Fantasy Collector’s Editions Running Now!
Award-winning fantasy author Megan Haskell returns to the Nine Faerie Realms with the Kickstarter launch of Quenched in Secrets, the epic sequel to Forged in Shadow.
Collector’s hardcovers of Forged in Shadow and Quenched in Secrets — now funding on Kickstarter.
Returning to the Nine Faerie Realms
After years of waiting, months of editing, and weeks of planning, I’m thrilled to announce that the Kickstarter for Quenched in Secrets is officially live! 🥳
Forged in Shadow launched in April 2020, just as the world was locking down. Despite multiple awards and accolades—including a Readers' Favorite Book Awards Fantasy Honorable Mention and being named a SPFBO Semi-Finalist—its release was overshadowed by events none of us could control, and I set aside the first draft of Quenched in Secrets to give myself — and the world — time to heal.
Earlier this year, I finally returned to the War of the Nine Faerie Realms, ready to face the hope and heartache of this tale. Now Quenched in Secrets is ready to launch, and I want to give it the epic, high-quality edition it deserves.
Why Launch on Kickstarter?
Upfront funding through Kickstarter allows me to create collector’s hardcovers that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. Your pledge helps cover upgraded bindings, custom designs, sprayed edges, and more — transforming Forged in Shadow and Quenched in Secrets into books worthy of the epic story inside.
This campaign is also part of Kickstarter’s October #Witchstarter event — spotlighting magical and paranormal projects across genres and categories.
Collector's Editions for Fantasy Book Lovers
Backers can choose from digital editions, signed paperbacks, or premium Collector's Edition hardcovers featuring section-sewn binding, acid-free paper, and upgrades like custom art and sprayed edges as we reach stretch goals.
Join the #Witchstarter Celebration!
Our initial goal is $4,000 to fund the print run. Once met, we’ll begin unlocking collector enhancements — starting with custom sprayed edges at $4,500.
Early-bird pricing runs through Wednesday, Oct 22, 11:59 p.m. PT.
💥 Check out the Quenched in Secrets Kickstarter Campaign, part of October’s #Witchstarter event — and claim your signed collector’s editions today!
I hope I see you behind the backer wall!
