Today we’re sounding the klaxon for a Kickstarter project worthy of your attention: Legacy of the Brightwash, the Deluxe Edition!
Legacy of the Brightwash by Krystle Matar is the first book in the Tainted Dominion series of dystopian gaslamp fantasy and a SPFBO finalist. It also has the honour of being reviewed not once but twice on the Read Indie Fantasy blog.
This Kickstarter is a for a very fancy Deluxe Edition of the book. Here’s more information about it:
Perfect for fans of slow-burn, character driven fantasy, built on a foundation of Dystopian Gaslamp with just a dash of romantic fantasy, LEGACY OF THE BRIGHTWASH is a love letter to fantasy, mystery, and the messy human condition.
And while I’m modest by nature, my project management team insists that I tell you LEGACY OF THE BRIGHTWASH was the second place finalist in the SPFBO 7 competition (300 fantasy books enter, 10 judges score, and BRIGHTWASH missed first place by 0.10 points), as well as a finalist in BBNYA and the Indie Ink Awards, and an r/Fantasy Stabby nominee for Best Indie and Best Debut. But don’t take my word for it! Do your own research, and check out the thousands of unbiased reviews that exist on the internet.
This book has meant a lot to me, and a lot to many of my readers, so I am beyond excited to bring together a deluxe edition that pays homage to its 1890’s setting with a cloth cover, gorgeous silver foil, and silver gilded page edges. Not to mention, we are putting together a pile of brand new art to bring the characters to life!

If you love collecting VERY special editions of books with all the trimmings, then this Kickstarter is for you. There’s some very pretty rewards on offer, and the project has almost fully funded in its first day! With twenty days to go, keep an eye on those stretch goals.
