Esteemed Agents,
We apologize for the short delay, but you can now officially late-pledge for Haven’s Heir and get all of our new items if you missed the end of the campaign deadline! We also managed to reach 100k during the very last day, which means you unlocked another stretch goal: the World Map update from paper to cloth!
A special thank you to all the artists, writers, and everyone who pledged to make this campaign possible. We are more than excited to give those books a place on your shelves!
And after 8 weeks, our Choose-Your-Own-Adventure has come to an end! As a wrap-up, here is the impact of the final choice you made. Thanks for participating, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did, let us know!
#9: Full Circle

The council hear your testimony, thank you, and take their vote. One of them, the high priestess, addresses the court.
“Navigator Kösem. You are guilty of treason, and will be under the supervision of this agent as long as you live.” Here, she fixes you with a steely gaze. “Agent, this is no idle charge. As long as this woman draws breath, you must protect the secrets she carries—even if it costs her life.”
Phaedra rushes to her feet. “This is madness! To waste an agent of this calibre—as a glorified nursemaid? To a grown woman who made her choices, and should now live with them!” The other councillors are silent, letting her rave. Finally, the priestess nods. “Your objection is noted. The vote stands.” She turns back to you. “Agent. Do you accept this duty?” You put your hand to your badge, and nod. Phaedra scoffs, and sweeps out of the courthouse.
Outside, Kösem grabs her husband and holds him in a tight embrace, quietly weeping. They hold each other for long moments. Mihri approaches, puts a hand on her mother’s shoulder, and is pulled into the hug
“Agent,” Kösem gasps, when the storm has passed. “I owe you everything, and there is no world where I deserve it. I’ve made such terrible mistakes—I dread to think of where they will lead. But thanks to you, I still have my family, and my liberty. And the sea.” She wipes her eyes, and the four of you regard the amber sunset dappling to Arabian sea. “Tomorrow I will take you out, and show you why I cannot bear to be parted from her.”
The Ottoman invasion has been averted, and Karim will continue his agitational work among the people. Kösem and her family have their liberty; you will watch over them as long as she lives. But the secrets of the isle have slipped through your fingers, and you sometimes lay awake wondering whether the isle will ever be truly secure. Nonetheless, a great evil has been averted. For now at least, the isle is safe.
