The Latest on Instagram

The burden was never meant for her… at least that was what she thought.

She is the first of her people to walk these streets in centuries, and every choice she makes defies tradition.

Every step draws scrutiny.

As an ancient darkness stirs beyond the mountains, the cost of standing against it is more than she could have imagined.

Keeper’s Burden is an illustrated epic fantasy for readers drawn to character depth, mystery, and prophecy unfolding against a rising mythic threat.

Book Two launches July 4th on Kickstarter in a custom hardcover edition crafted for collectors. Follow the pre-launch page and be part of the first printing.

The matching custom hardcover of Book One will also be available through the campaign.

How important is world building to you as a fantasy reader?

History, myths and legends, how landscapes have changed, weather patterns and their effects on the cultures in books are some of the essential aspects of solid world building that helps to deepen the immersive quality of a fantasy book series. As a fine artist as well as a fantasy author, it is such a pleasure to be able to bring my characters and world to life visually. I have sculpted, drawn and painted them into existence every bit as much as the words on the page. It is one of my favourite things about creating books.

Illustrated novels are not very common but it adds so much layered richness to the experience of reading!

Question: How do you separate art creation and writing?

Answer: I don’t!

For me as a creator, the two are inextricably linked, and the universe I’m building requires immersion in both. The characters, the landscapes, the myths and history are all cross-pollinated and enriched with both. As words tumble onto the page, so too do the visions and scenes manifest as drawings, paintings and sculpture.

When I began writing these books, I never imagined what an incredible journey it would become creatively, and to this day, it is still growing. There is so much work still ahead to see these books created in the format and with the quality I envision, but it is my bliss and my joy, and I look forward to sharing it with you in all of its creative iterations.

Hi I’m Kindrie Grove, fantasy author and illustrator of The Stone Guardians, my epic, illustrated fantasy book series. Book Two: Keeper’s Burden is set to launch on #kickstarter in only a few weeks! I am really excited to see this second book in the series completed in the same hardcover format as book one, with a sewn binding, a ribbon, marker, and custom spine fonts and covers.

If you are new to the series, and you like epic, immersive, and character driven high fantasy, with a strong female main character, a slow burn, no spice, love story, themes of found family, band of heroes, prophecy and mystery, swords, magic, and mythical creatures, then these books might be for you!

You can find a free download of the first 30 pages of book one through my newsletter, the link is in my bio, with both maps, legend, prologues, and the first two chapters in the full immersive layout with the illustrations. It is a great way to begin the story and see how the characters all meet for the first time.

Hint: it’s in the wilderness at night… A Stranger in the Wilds. Spoiler alert! They assume she’s a he.

You can also find the Kickstarter pre-launch page link for Book Two in my bio, so make sure you check that out and follow to get notified as soon as we go live.

The original painting that became the cover for Book Two: Keeper’s Burden.

I will be totally honest… this painting took me a long time and there are still details and work I want to do in the background and the characters faces. But something amazing happened when I was painting it—a sense of the essence and truth of these two people came to life under my brush strokes. The painting is large and the characters are almost life-sized, making them feel like they live epically in our own world.

New illustration of Pellaris underway… I think this will be a two page spread in Book Two! I haven’t done a drawing of Pellar’s capital from a distance like this yet, only sections or details. I plan to also do some interior illustrations of the keep and some street scenes.✨

We are launching the #kickstarter in just under a month and I am super excited to see Book Two of The Stone Guardians in the hands of readers! I will be hard at work getting the drawings done for the book over the summer while the manuscript is with the publisher for formatting and a professional copy edit. Then on to printing in late 2026 or early 2027 depending on timing for everything.

Drawing, writing, and building the immersive fantasy world of The Stone Guardians...

The successful launch of Book One was a huge milestone for me, but Book Two feels like the richness and depth of the series is being allowed to breath, as if the wind is filling out the ship's sail to let these characters, and the world they inhabit, fully loose into ours!

With Book One now available in multiple formats, we are gearing up for the launch of the Custom hardcover of Book Two on Kickstarter.

Make sure to join me on The Kickstarter pre-launch page for updates on when our campaign launches in late June.

P.S. Book One's Custom Hardcover will also be available through the next campaign.

This was fun to put together… a little out of my regular wheelhouse music wise but shaking it up sometimes is a good thing. I hope you enjoy this montage of the drawings that go into the books and some of the work from the Kickstarter Collector’s Remarque copies with their hand-embellishments.
