The contract was called the "Fistoria-Inkwell Synergy Agreement."
Kasia drafted it in a single night. It was a work of art.
The terms: For select Fistoria fantasy series (starting with Chronos Imperium), Inkwell Press would produce limited-edition hardcovers, sold exclusively through a new storefront on the Fistoria app. Pre-orders would unlock bonus digital content. It was a closed loop. My readers would get a tangible piece of the empire, and I'd capture revenue that usually went to Amazon.
It was also a new contract for the System.
