The audiobooks are HERE!⁠!⁠⠀
🎧⁠⠀
We're so beyond excited to bring you back into the immersive world of The Monarch Papers with our brand new, fully produced audiobooks, out today! ⁠⠀
✨⁠⠀
The Monarch Papers is a thrilling two-volume fantasy adventure based on the groundbreaking interactive experience. Thousands of people from around the world joined forces to solve puzzles, uncover mysteries, and interact with characters, try and unravel a secret that some would die to discover and others would kill to keep.⁠⠀
A secret, hidden for centuries, within the pages of a book. ⁠⠀
✨⁠⠀
Now you can experience The Monarch Papers yourself.⁠⠀
Click the link in our bio to listen to a sample and download your copies today!

🚨 Audiobook announcement! 🚨⁠⠀

In just two weeks, the audiobooks for The Monarch Papers will be available everywhere audiobooks are sold! To celebrate, we're previewing an entire chapter for FREE on the Ackerly Green forum, which you can listen to through the link in our bio! ⁠⠀

We love this chapter because we get to hear so many favorite voices, from Deirdre Green to Martin Rank, Lauren Ellsworth, and of course, the Cagliostro. Which one is your favorite? Listen and let us know!!

A bit of exciting news: the Ackerly Green Minecraft server is officially available for all of our Trust Level 3 forum members today!⁠⠀
✨⁠⠀
We're so excited to finally welcome our community into our Minecraft version of Neithernor, complete with guild halls and more! Can you guess which snowy guild hall is featured here?⁠?⁠⠀

Looking to add some Black authors to your summer reading list? We are too! ⁠⠀
📚⁠⠀
We've got a reading list of 15 fantasy books by Black authors up on the blog today—including Black Leopard, Red Wolf, which I posted about last summer but had to put down because it was simply too physically heavy to keep bringing on the subway with me. I'm looking forward to diving back into this one without my commute to weigh me down, and am super excited to start discovering so many other fantastic voices as well (#11 I especially have my eye on)!⁠⠀
✨⁠⠀
Check out the link in our bio for the full list, which includes both adult and YA recs, and a link to Black-owned bookstores you can order from directly. ⁠

06/05/2020

We are listening, we are reading, we are donating, and we are committing to using our platform and our privilege to amplify the voices and stories that need to be told. To read @cjbofficially's full statement, which includes donation links and links to other helpful resources, click the link in our bio. ⁠

It happened: I finally finished Lord of the Rings!⁠⠀
✨⁠⠀
When @cjbofficially found out I had never read or seen LOTR, my homework became reading the series. It took a little longer than expected, but I finally finished reading and I have a LOT of thoughts.⁠⠀
📚⁠⠀
I put together a list of my top 10 thoughts/reactions/lingering questions (where are the Entwives??) for the AG forum, so click the link in our bio to read them there and join us in our general fangirling!! ⁠⠀

Feeling a little sluggish after the long weekend? Potion Mouse has just the pick-me-up!⁠⠀
🔮⁠⠀
If Potion Mouse could use the Ackerly Green forum, the beverage thread would definitely be his favorite, because it's where we share our favorite teas, coffees, juices, and other various drinkable elixirs! If you're like us and getting tired of making the same old teas and coffees every morning, you can follow the link in our bio to find some magical new recommendations. Just steer clear of any poison bottles hidden in the shrubbery...⁠

#tbt to when the office was this neat and we could still be in it!⁠⠀
✨⁠⠀
I think this photo was taken before one of our bukbangs last spring (note the goldfish and the m&ms on the table), which feels like a lifetime ago! We can't wait to be back working under that big sunny window, but until then, we're counting down the days until next week's Zoom community hangout! Check out the link in our bio for more info on how to log on and hang out with us next Wednesday—we'll see you there!⁠

05/19/2020

Missing the office, our bowtruckle, and his tiny potions!⁠⠀
🔮⁠⠀
@cjbofficially stopped by the office last week to pick up some AG Alchemy supplies, so we're hoping to start remotely fulfilling candle orders again soon! We have plans for a whole new line of magical scents, which we're hoping to bring you this summer, and a few other secret projects up our sleeve, too . . .👀⁠

05/14/2020

Looking for your next bookish escape? We've got you covered. ⁠⠀
📚⁠⠀
We've got a list of 7 fantasy books with total Briarverse vibes to get you through quarantine and beyond up on the blog today! We took recommendations from our readers and threw in a couple of our own recent favorites—think: books, magic, secret societies, and all things wondrous. ✨ Follow the link in our bio to find your next read! ⁠⠀

Lovely Briarverse-inspired artwork from @propertiesofamethyst 💜⁠

What a weird and wild journey this year has been, don't you think?⁠⠀
🔮⁠⠀
This picture is a throwback to the office, our magiq tray, and some plants that are most likely no longer alive (💔). Our journey's looking pretty different from what we thought it would be when we pulled this card a year ago, but the fact that we still have so many friends and readers on it with us means we must still be on the right track. Rest assured that we're still working hard to bring all of you as much magic as possible, wherever you are on your journeys. 💜✨⁠

Hermione Granger is obviously a Thornmouth...right?⁠⠀
📚⁠⠀
We've been having some fun on the AG forum hypothesizing which Briarverse guild the Guide to Magiq would sort our favorite Harry Potter characters into! We've got a curated list of proposed sortings up (with GIFs!) for about a dozen of our faves, but we're loving hearing other opinions and theories! ⁠⠀
🔮⁠⠀
Got thoughts on who your headcanon guildmates should be? Head to the link in our bio to join the conversation!⁠

RPG news below!!!⁠⠀
✨⁠⠀
Yesterday on the AG forum, @cjbofficially announced that we're working on an official Briarverse tabletop roleplaying game!! It's going to be called "Neithernor," and it's going to be all about character and storytelling—our two favorite things! ⁠⠀
🔮⁠⠀
For a full, in-depth explanation of the system we're going to be using, as well as a step-by-step breakdown on how to create a character from our friend @michaelalannelson, click the link in our bio and check out the full post! ⁠

Current mood: mooning over this gorgeous candle from @otherlandco!⁠⠀
🌟⁠⠀
@cjbofficially has been working to set up a remote AG office so we can start fulfilling AG Alchemy orders and creating new scents again soon, but in the meantime, we're getting all the candle inspo from this Moonstruck candle from Otherland's winter collection! Just opening the stunning packaging is a whole mood in itself, and the candle has subtle but lovely scents of sweet myrrh, white mahogany, and smoked birch, making you feel like you're bundling up to go stargazing at a clear night sky.⁠⠀
✨⁠⠀
We miss experimenting with candle scents and creating magical moods for you all, but don't worry, we've got plenty of other plans to keep bringing you magic while we're away! We've got a new idea or two up our sleeves...

Have you pre-ordered The Book of Briars yet?⁠⠀
📚⁠⠀
Part 3B of The Book of Briars was emailed to all pre-orders and AG+ members yesterday! The book is being released in installments as the Basecamp 34 narrative progresses on the AG Forum, and yesterday, Eaves finally confirmed that the Mountaineers had correctly located all four shrines to the icons of Elainnor Heavenwielder.⁠ We're still waiting for Port and Yuridia to report back on the purpose of these shrines, but with every discovery, the workings of this new age are becoming clearer.⁠⠀
🔮⁠⠀
With every pre-order, you'll receive all of the parts of the book that have been released up until now, and by joining the forum, you can help unlock the next chapters as well! Follow the link in our bio to pre-order your copy and catch up on the story today! ⁠

Have you been following our blog series on elemental magic in the Briarverse?⁠⠀
🔮⁠⠀
Each week, we've been taking a look at one of the six magimystic elements in the Briarverse and thinking about ways we've seen their energies manifesting in the Briarverse narratives and in our own lives. This week is the element of Thought, and next week we'll be closing out the series with The Wilds!⁠ ⁠Check out the link in our bio to read along on the AG forum. ✨⁠

04/21/2020

Part publishers, part game masters, ever wonder what the process is like for us to get a book out into the world while simultaneously running an ongoing immersive narrative?⁠⠀
✨⁠⠀
@cjbofficially answers some of your questions in his latest blog post on our indie editorial process! Spoiler alert: if you've pre-ordered The Book of Briars and have been reading the chapters as they are released, you're helping us out more than you know.

#tbt to sunnier days in the AG office!⁠⠀
🔮⁠⠀
Feeling pushed around lately? Like there's something out of your control? Could be the magic of the Tides at work, pulling you towards something greater.

"Don't worry. You're just as sane as I am."⁠⠀
✨⁠⠀
One of our favorite evergreen quotes from one of our favorite characters. Here are Luna and Hawthorne the bowtruckle wishing you as sane a week as possible! 💜⁠

04/09/2020

What's one thing that you're looking forward to right now?⁠⠀
🔮⁠⠀
We've got a lot of big things to look forward to, like being back in the office and releasing The Book of Briars, but it's the little things like sharing a meal with our families, long walks in the sun, and spending time on our favorite hobbies that's getting us through the weirdness of this new normal.⁠⠀
✨⁠⠀
If you're staying at home like we are, what are some little things that you've found helpful in getting you through your days? We'd love to hear how you're doing and what you're looking forward to. 💜⁠

Up this week in the "Elemental Magic in the Briarverse" blog series: Ore!⁠⠀
✨⁠⠀
"Whether planted and tended, tossed to the fires, or incorporated into the Day’s Work, it is only when Ore is imbued with the whims of our own sense of creative direction that it begins to take on meaning."⁠⠀
🔮⁠⠀
As the associated element for Flinterforge, this was an especially fun one to write. You can read the full blog post through the link in our bio, and join the AG forum to tell us how you use Ore in your magimystic practice!⁠⠀
✨⁠⠀
P.S. These elemental t-shirts are still shipping through the Ackerly Green book shop! Each magimystic element has its own terrarium design and elemental symbol (these shown here are both Ore). They're super soft and perfect for working from home as the weather gets warmer!

04/07/2020

Interested in joining The Briar Society but missed enrollment the first time around?⁠⠀
🗝️⁠⠀
We've got a few spots opening up that are going to be made available to those on the waitlist next week! So now would be a good time to head to the link in our bio and make sure you're on the list, if you're not already...👀⁠

04/02/2020

Although we started our elemental magic blog series with Aether last week, Light is actually the first element on the chronocompass!⁠⠀
✨⁠⠀
Did you know that each magimystic element in the Briarverse corresponds to one of the six guilds, magimystic houses, and times of day? Follow the link in our bio to read more about the element of Light and all of its associations, and come tell us how you see Light manifesting in your own life!⁠

What's your favorite comfort read?⁠⠀
📚⁠⠀
We've been chatting on the AG Forum about our #quarantinereads, and it seems like lots of us are in the mood for some escapism right now. So what's your go-to?? Fantasy? Sci-fi? Romance? ⁠(If you can stomach dystopia right now, congrats because you're a superhuman.) Follow the link in our bio to join the conversation on the forum and see what everyone's reading!⁠

“Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.” –Edgar Allan Poe⁠⠀
🔮⁠⠀
#tbt to when the scariest thing about going outside was the Halloween decorations! All you dreamers can rest assured though that even though we're not in the office, we're still doing everything we can to keep bringing you magic in these nightmarish times. Speaking of...⁠⠀
📚⁠⠀
The first half of Part Three of The Book of Briars was released today! Everyone who has either pre-ordered the book or is an AG+ member should have received the newest chapters in your inbox. We hope it's got all the magic you need to get you through the rest of the week! ⁠⠀
✨⁠⠀
If you haven't pre-ordered yet, you can also follow the link in our bio to do so and get caught up on the story!⁠⠀

Missing being in the office a little extra today, which just means we're extra excited to see some friendly faces at tonight's Community Hangout!!⁠⠀
🔮⁠⠀
For those of you who don't know, we host a Community Hangout every month where @cjbofficially checks in with any company news (and usually a spoiler or two) and takes questions from our readers! This month we're going to try it out on everybody's new favorite platform, Zoom, so we can get as many friends in as possible! We'll be posting the Zoom link to the AG forum today, so check the link in our bio for more info and for the link to the YouTube live stream as well ✨⁠

Remember this symbol, from the Search for Magiq narrative?⁠⠀
✨⁠⠀
This is the alchemical symbol for Aether, the magimystic element aligned with the guild of Gossmere and the House of Humanity. We thought it was the most fitting element for the start of a blog series about elemental magic in the Briarverse, considering how relevant the powers of humanity and human connection are in these days of quarantine and self-isolation.⁠⠀
🔮⁠⠀
Follow the link in our bio to read the full post, and visit the AG forum to join the conversation and see how our Mountaineers are finding reminders of humanity in their daily lives, even when everything feels a little turned on its head. 💜⁠⠀

03/19/2020

Looking for a new quarantine read??⁠⠀
📚⁠⠀
We're still giving away both volumes of The Monarch Papers for free through the link in our bio! Now is the perfect time to settle in and commit to that deep dive on all things magiq. We know you've been thinking about it.⁠⠀
✨ ⁠⠀
And when you're done, come say hi over on the Ackerly Green Forum! Social distancing need not apply to online friends (as long as you stay online). 💜⁠

03/18/2020

The Seven of Coins for your Wednesday...⁠⠀
🔮⁠⠀
Definitely resonating with this call for patience and perseverance today. This card is a reminder to take advantage of this strange, quiet time and continue taking steps toward our best, most successful selves, whatever that means for you. Whether you're working or resting today, we hope you're staying well and taking care of yourselves.

03/17/2020

Like many of you, Ackerly Green will be operating remotely for the next couple of weeks, which means we'll be living our best introvert lives with plenty of books, games, and tv!⁠⠀

The End

After a year, The Mountaineers have finally unlocked The Book of Briars and inside, they found this. The Monarch Papers has ended. But the search for magiq has just begun.

The Last Performance of The Cagliostro

A New York Times reporter was invited to the exclusive, elites-only performance of the magician The Cagliostro and his apprentice, Lauren Ellsworth. He wore a wire. He provided us the last six minutes of the performance. Be warned, what happened was shocking and disturbing.
