At a time when stories about trans experiences are being erased from media and pulled from bookshelves, it is more vital than ever to support stories centering trans youth.

Be an active participant in the creation of the next big YA fantasy series:

"Robin Mercury & The First Rule"

The Story~

Robin Mercury is a Black trans teen who feels cursed with red hair, purple eyes and albinism. On the edge of a fateful choice they are forced from home when their grandmother is killed by dark forces unseen. Guided by a glowing snow globe they arrive at a mysterious military academy, refuge to The Folk and an unearthly world. Here, Robin will hone their newfound abilities, join a chosen family of quirky misfits and discover a destiny far beyond their wildest dreams.
