Dear readers,
I meant to send this newsletter out a couple of weeks ago, but life got in the way, and I’m just now able to sit down and write this. So let’s get to it, as there is a lot of information to cover.
First, I wanted to give a last-minute heads-up. Again, apologies for the 11th hour notification. Another special edition set of RADIANCE and EIDOLON is being created by Midnight Whispers. Typically, Midnight Whispers sends out box sets to their subscribers. This time, however, they’ve offered me a limited window of opportunity to offer this beautiful set to those who don’t have a subscription with them but would like a special edition of the first two books in the Wraith Kings series. The window of opportunity to order it without signing up as a subscriber is super narrow, ending tonight (03/02/2026) at 8:00 p.m. EST.
Here are all the details from Midnight Whispers, if you’re interested:
We are thrilled to reveal an exclusive early pre-order for Grace Draven x Midnight Whispers featuring Radiance and Eidolon. This is perfect for those that love:

Y’all, the artwork for these special editions is insanely beautiful. I am so thrilled with what Midnight Whispers has done with these books!
On the publishing front:
I have some exciting news to share in the near future and will do so in the next newsletter which will come out earlier than I usually put one out. I can’t say more until it’s official, but once it is, I’ll give more deets.
THE MOON RAVEN
If you missed my previous posts on Facebook and Instagram, this is a heads-up that THE MOON RAVEN (ebook only) is currently live and available for purchase on all the usual retail platforms such as Amazon, B&N, Kobo, Apple Books, Smashwords, and Bookshop.

THE MOON RAVEN will be available in both print and audio, but I don’t have a firm date on that yet as it ties back to the exciting news I mentioned earlier. I’ll keep everyone updated when those two formats are available. I can tell you that the wonderful Gabrielle Baker (who narrated Radiance, Eidolon, The Ippos King, Entreat Me, and Gaslight Hades) will be narrating THE MOON RAVEN.
I’ve also scheduled more commissions with my longtime artist, Louisa Gallie as well as with the fantasy map creator Rachel Ward of Cartography Bird. I’m excited to continue collaborating with the first and starting to collaborate with the second.
Spring has definitely sprung here in the Texas Hill Country. We’re in the 80s during the day, and many of the trees have started budding out. I’ll admit to grieving the fading of our very short, usually mild winter here. It’s nice to have a few weeks where we’re not battling scorpions or mosquitoes.
Wishing all of you well.
Best,
Grace
Wonderful news!
Thank you for the updates!
Oooh! So glad that you sent out this newsletter because, otherwise, I would’ve missed getting these special edition copies. Also, please don’t forget to keep updating those of us who don’t use the usual social media channels via your newsletter.
Hello, I just wanted to say that I absolutely love Radiance & Eidolon. They are two of my most favorite books, & two of my multiple read AGAIN books. But I wanted to know, will Black Hellebore ever be released in paperback? Because I have been wanting to read that book since the very first time that you announced it years ago. But so far it’s only been available for the Kindle. I just wanted to know if it would be made available for paperback so I can get it & excitedly add it to my other three books in the series.
Hi, Miracle. Yes, I will be releasing Black Hellebore in paperback very soon and will post an update as soon as it’s ready.
YES!!! I cant wait to get it & read about Brishen and IIdiko again. I’ve missed them both. Thank you for getting back to me so quickly, I really appreciate. I can guarantee that as soon as it’s available in paperback I will absolutely buy it.
Thank you so much for the update on the Midnight Whispers special editions. Radiance and Eidolon are among my favorite books of all time—Brishen and Ildiko’s story is a true sanctuary for me. I am so thrilled to finally add these beautiful physical editions to my library. Your work means so much to me!
I am looking forward to reading your next creation! have missed dipping into the Draven worlds!
I’m so sad I missed the preorder for these special editions. The newsletter didn’t land in my inbox until 8:01pm ET, right after the preorder had closed. I tried rushing immediately to their website. Any chance they’ll offer an extension? Radiance and Eidolon are my absolute favorite!
Hi, Elizabeth!
If you’re still interested in purchasing the special editions by Midnight Whispers, you can still sign up for their subscription service in which they’ll announce when the box containing the two books will be available for subscribers. Here are the links if it helps:
