Honoring the Legendary Backers of Make 100

Every world is built in stages.

The velvet edition of A Dragon’s Queen had already burned bright. The dragons had already taken flight. But stories do not continue on momentum alone. They continue because readers choose to keep the fire alive.

The Make 100 campaign on Kickstarter was one of those moments.

It was a focused, intentional gathering. A circle of readers who stepped forward again. Who said yes to preserving something special. Who chose to support the craft, the artistry, and the continuation of this world.

The names recorded here are not simply backers.

They are Sustainers of the Flame.

Their support helped strengthen our Dragon World’s foundation. Their belief ensured the fire did not dim. Their names are recorded here as part of the ongoing history of this realm.

This page stands as a permanent tribute to those who helped carry the flame forward.

Below are the Legendary Backers of the Make 100 Campaign.

To every name etched here:

Thank you for standing in the fire with me.

Yours in dragon fire,

A Dragon’s Queen: A Mythic Romantasy of Power, Fate, and Becoming

By

A Dragon’s Queen is a romantasy novel rooted in mythology, prophecy, and emotional transformation. It is the opening volume in a larger story world where dragons, gods, and mortals collide—and where power is not inherited, but earned through choice.

At its heart, this story is about sovereignty. Not just the right to rule, but the courage to become who you were always meant to be.

A Dragon's Queen showcased in the three print options: White, gold foiled paperback, hardback with dustjacket, and black velvet with colorful edges.

A world shaped by myth and consequence

The world of A Dragon’s Queen draws inspiration from mythic traditions and epic fantasy, blending ancient power structures with deeply personal stakes. Dragons are not simply creatures of legend. They are living forces, bound by magic, sacrifice, and loyalty.

The story unfolds in a realm where divine interference, political intrigue, and long-buried prophecies shape the fate of entire kingdoms. Magic is costly. Loyalty is tested. And destiny is never as simple as it first appears.

A heroine forged, not crowned

At the center of the novel is Jaz, a heroine defined not by perfection, but by resilience. Her journey is not about claiming a throne handed to her by fate. It is about surviving trials meant to break her, confronting the truths she was never meant to learn, and choosing her own path forward.

This is a story for readers who love:

  • slow-burn romantasy
  • emotionally complex protagonists
  • dragons bound by ancient magic
  • stories of identity, power, and transformation

Romance exists here, but it is woven into the larger arc of becoming. Love is not a reward. It is a catalyst.

Storytelling that lives beyond the page

A Dragon’s Queen is part of a layered story world designed to be immersive rather than disposable. The novel stands on its own, but it also connects to companion storytelling across other mediums, including music and reflective worldbuilding elements.

These extensions are not required to enjoy the book. They exist to deepen the emotional atmosphere for readers who wish to linger longer inside the world.

Some stories arrive as books.
Others echo in different forms.

Who this story is for

This novel is written for readers who enjoy fantasy that asks something of them—emotionally and imaginatively. It is for those who appreciate:

  • richly built worlds
  • character-driven stakes
  • mythic resonance
  • stories that unfold with intention

If you are drawn to romantasy that balances spectacle with depth, A Dragon’s Queen offers an entry point into a larger, evolving world.

Begin the journey

A Dragon’s Queen invites readers into a realm of dragons, magic, and hard-won transformation. It is a story about standing at the edge of what you know—and stepping forward anyway.

The crown is not given.
It is claimed.

Val’s Song Is Here: The Bound Flame Has Landed

By

Every world has a heartbeat.
Every dragon has a song.
And today, I finally get to share one of the most meaningful pieces of the Dragon Queen universe with you.

✨ Val’s theme, The Bound Flame, is now live on all major streaming platforms.

This is more than a soundtrack. It is a story set to music. It is the pulse of a dragon haunted by corruption, bound by destiny, and tethered to Jasmine through fire and fate. It is the sound of wings beating in the dark and a soul fighting to stay free.

When I first imagined Val, I heard her long before I saw her.
Her power.
Her grief.
Her loyalty.
Her rage.

I knew she needed a theme that captured the ancient, aching, burning heart of a dragon queen’s companion. Something that felt like flame and shadow, like myth and memory, like a cry across realms.

Thanks to you, that song exists.

This community helped bring the Dragon Queen world to life in so many ways, from the special editions to the lore to the emotional resonance that lives in every chapter. Now, the music is part of that legacy too, and I cannot thank you enough.

✨ Please listen. Please share. Help spread the fire.
Your support turns a single spark into a blaze.

👉 Listen to The Bound Flame on your favorite platform

Whether you are writing, reading, dreaming, or soaring through your day, I hope this song carries you deeper into the heart of Val’s journey.

Thank you for being part of this magic.
There is more music coming. More lore. More fire.

Stay tuned, dragonheart. The world is growing.

Tina Glasneck Launches New Romantasy, A Dragon’s Queen, Blending Dragons, Fae Courts, and Forbidden Love

Author shares how the magnetic stage energy of Stray Kids’ Felix added nuance to her fae prince Callen Blackthorne, a character already built to captivate romantasy fans.

RICHMOND, Va. – Oct. 1, 2025 — USA Today bestselling author Tina Glasneck is set to captivate romantasy readers with her forthcoming release, A Dragon’s Queen, the first book in The Dragon Queen Trilogy. A sweeping romantasy of dragons, danger, and desire, A Dragon’s Queen follows Jasmine as she is thrust into the perilous intrigues of the Unseelie Court. She must prove her worth in brutal magical trials—all while resisting her dangerous attraction to Callen Blackthorne, the fae prince whose shadowed past could either save her or destroy everything she loves.

Glasneck reveals that Callen’s piercing, ethereal presence was enhanced by the magnetic stage energy Felix brings to performances like “Maniac.”

“I was introduced to K-pop through a friend, and soon found myself with Stray Kids on repeat while writing,” Glasneck shares. “There’s even a phrase on TikTok—the ‘Felix Effect’—that perfectly captures the charisma I wanted for Callen. Art inspires art, and writers are no different. I had already built Callen. However, watching Felix perform sparked new layers of nuance and presence that I was able to season into the character. I am so proud of this three-dimensional fae prince who remains entirely his own.”

Blending lush worldbuilding, political intrigue, and slow-burn romance, A Dragon’s Queen will appeal to fans of Fourth Wing and A Court of Thorns and Roses. With dragons bound by ancient magic and a heroine navigating deadly trials in the Unseelie Court, the novel delivers danger, desire, and mythic stakes in equal measure.

About A Dragon’s Queen
In this darkly enchanting romantasy, Jasmine must navigate deadly magical trials in the heart of the Unseelie Court. Stripped of certainty and hunted by those who fear her power, she faces impossible choices—especially when it comes to Callen Blackthorne, the brooding fae prince whose shadowed past could either save her or shatter the realm itself.
