This is one of those stories that started with nothing more than an urge to write something better than you just watched. Where Isekai anime can't satisfy, #HeartofOak will... That's my promise: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e... #Booksky #Bookish #Books #Indiebooks #writesky

An imitation movie poster for the upcoming novel Heart of Oak by Emil Bronze depicting a dark mossy forest

The text lists out 4 character names below the title: Oakengrove, Falcher Randell, Roderick Franco Helsmouth, Simadger

Below that is the premise of the book:
How does a world recovering from catastrophic loss respond to the resurrection of an old-world deity? Follow Oakengrove, a reborn tree-god, as he navigates a worl that is terrified of his return, to rediscover himself and become

Preston loves reviving trends, and we thought we’d do a fun user boxes trend… specifically in line with our first publication PROMETHEUS: A QUEER FUTURISTIC HORROR ANTHOLOGY coming 31 October 2026. If this sounds like something you’d devour, you can sign up for an eARC or preorder Prometheus.

White text with pink outline reads THIS USER LIKES

Underneath is a translucent purple box with a gradient blue to purple outline and white text with pink outline inside reading: “short stories”

At the bottom of the slide is a multicoloured sketch design of a snake wearing a monocle.
