Naiya and the Foxdragon - An Illustrated Novel

SHIPPING

All paper prints are shipped rolled in a rigid mailer except extra small 8x10 prints, which are shipped flat.

Paper and metal prints, gaming mats, mugs and t-shirts are shipped separately from other items in your order. Each of these items are custom-created just for you and shipped directly from our printer.

MADE-TO-ORDER PROCESSING TIME

All made-to-order items (paper and metal prints, t-shirts, mugs, gaming playmats and XL desk mats) take between 1-2 weeks.

WILL YOU SIGN A PRINT FOR ME?

All prints are created outside the studio and shipped directly from the printer, so I cannot sign prints. If you’re interested in signed merchandise, I occasionally offer limited edition runs and signed books.

*I’m also more than happy to sign anything you buy or bring to a convention in person.

The book is a standard comic book size at 6.625 x 10.5 inches, chosen for comfortable chapter reading as well as an immersion into imagery that flows from page to page.

The cover features a “soft touch” finish on both hardcover and softcover, with lovely Smyth-sewn binding that sits open in the hand for easy travel reading.

An illustrated novel is a full-length chapter book that includes full-color illustrations throughout, but it is not a graphic novel.

Unlike graphic novels, which use comic-book-style panels to tell the story visually, an illustrated novel presents the story primarily through text, with accompanying artwork that enhances the world and characters.

Naiya and the Foxdragon features over 80 original illustrations woven into the storytelling experience.

For readers aged 10 and up.

It features rich storytelling, engaging characters, and a fully realized magical world that will appeal to fans of all ages!

This book is categorized for readers of upper middle-grade and young adult fantasy.

No spice—this is a middle-grade / young adult fantasy novel that focuses on adventure, friendship, and self-discovery.

The story follows Naiya and Aru (the foxdragon) as they navigate their relationships with family, friends, and spirit-like beings. That said, there are a few moments of tension:

• Aru and Naiya both have encounters with physical abuse (no graphic details).
• Aru is captured, tied up, and placed in a cage.

While these moments add stakes to the story, they are handled with care and remain appropriate for middle-grade readers.
