BIG NEWS: The new artwork for the ultraspecial photography edition is FINISHED!!!
Did you know you'll be receiving a complimentary copy of this ultraspecial edition? Keep reading for the info!
We've been working on brand new cover art for the ultraspecial photography edition, and we just received it from the artist.
Awaken the Dawn backers are the first to see it because...
You're getting this e-book!
Since delivery has been late on the Footsteps e-book, we decided to gift this ultraspecial photography edition to all backers from the Awaken the Dawn campaign.
IMPORTANT: How to get the Hardback
If you'd like to grab the hardback of this ultraspecial edition, it will be available at a SPECIAL PRICE for a LIMITED TIME through the Dawn to Dusk Kickstarter campaign that's happening right now.
Normal price: $125
Special deal for past backers: $95
NOTE: We had this edition configured as an ADD-ON, so you will need to back the campaign to grab this ultraspecial edition at this ultraspecial price. However, we have a very small $5 tier (bookmarks) that will allow you to add this photography edition to your pledge.
You'll have through the end of the day on Sunday, September 22, 2024 (11:59pm Eastern Time) to take advantage of this deal.
About the Hardback
The hardback casing will be matte with a black and white image of the old cover (just the alley without the silhouette of Kat), while this beautiful artwork will be featured on the dust jacket.
Color interior, 115 gsm coated paper (similar to what you'd find in a photo book), premium title
About the Artwork
Here's a little bit of info about the cover art (by Kilex_Ka)...
You'll notice the clues mixed into the artwork, which is fun and beautiful, but the way some clues are more hidden than others pays homage to the fact that some truths are more hidden than others (in real life, and also in the story).
A lot of the book involves Kat hitting brick walls while trying to solve the scavenger hunt and learn what her father, Nicholas Barrett, was really involved in (hence the bricks in the foreground and the brick wall in the background). Part of Kat's character arc, in fact, is the way she must face her fears in order to overcome these obstacles. In one instance, she has to scale an actual, legit wall in order to get away from the bad guys (if you've read the book, you'll know what this is a reference to).
The rubble/rocks are something that come into play at the end of the book, but they're also symbolic of the way these characters' lives (mostly Kat and Maksim, but even the villains) have collided -- living stones that form this structure in the artwork, something that contains both light and shadows, good and bad, truth and lies, good intentions and bad intentions.
All the characters' stories, motives, past experiences, strengths, weaknesses are built on top of each other in a various unique and sometimes haphazard ways. Only the solid parts remain intact by the end.

Don't forget, this deal ends after Sunday, September 22!
