Summoned: First Edition (PREORDER)

A quiet day. A closet door. A ripple through reality.

✨ Summoned is the first illustrated scroll in the Ink Drift Chamber of the MTB Design Cove Archives—a 7-part graphic novella series chronicling the mysterious awakening of the Archive. It’s whimsical, weird, a little chaotic, and entirely full of heart.

📚 This Vaultkeeper First Edition is a limited print run of 100 perfect-bound, full-color softcover books—available exclusively through MTB Design Cove while supplies last.

🖋️ Each preorder includes:
• A signed physical copy of Summoned (56 pages, US Trade size: 6" x 9")
• A special edition Ink Drift: Summoned Collector’s Card with QR access to bonus content
• A parchment replica of the Summoned poem
• An aluminum bookmark (design varies by batch)
• Packaged with care—fit for shelf or storykeeper’s vault


📦 Shipping Timeline:
Preorders are expected to ship in mid-to-late August 2025. Timeline updates will be shared as soon as prints are confirmed. You’ll be notified the moment your scroll departs the Cove.

🌀 The Archive doesn’t just keep stories. It remembers who answers.

Archivist’s Note:

The baseline for the visual artwork in this novella was created using generative AI tools, guided by a custom prompt formula developed at MTB Design Cove. Each piece is based on real individuals and edited extensively in Procreate and Canva to match the Archive’s tone.

While the editing process could qualify this as a fully illustrated work, I do not claim that title.

True illustration is its own craft, and I respect those who master it.

GenAI is a bridge I use with care—never a shortcut—allowing me to work within the limits of chronic illness without dimming the worlds I can build. The story, characters, and every edited detail remain 100% my own.
