General Questions
Will there be more books?
While it’s possible that we may release more books in the future, it won’t happen in the immediate future. Our current focus is on perfecting and marketing the first book, alongside creating short stories and developing a few side stories. Our long-term goal for the series is to have a total of five books, though we recognize that this will take some time to accomplish.
Will there be other book series?
Our primary focus is on continuing the main novel series while expanding the world through short stories and side narratives. We do have plans to release additional book series set within the same universe, potentially exploring different timelines—such as 100 years in the past or future. However, this is not a priority at this time.
Will there be an audiobook?
There is not currently an audiobook, but we do plan to have one made at some point! We may also in the future have short stories and other works with audio transcriptions.
What are your plans for the website?
What ages are your works appropriate for?
The main novel series contains minor levels of profanity and violence. Other works may vary in the levels of content, topics, and themes presented, with some works being child-friendly, others including profanity and/or mature themes, and others including more explicitly adult themes. A content advisory will be provided for short stories on the website, and anything explicitly adult will require age verification.
Where can I find updates on new things happening?
What will be on the Patreon?
Patreon members will receive exclusive early access to short stories and artwork before they are publicly released on the website. Special collaborations may be available exclusively to Patrons, and certain tiers may include additional perks such as detailed character information, exclusive Q&A sessions, and writing feedback and reviews. We will also offer guides on book writing and marketing, as well as opportunities for special collaborations with the authors based on membership duration. As we continue to grow, we will be adding more benefits to our tiers, and members can cancel at any time with no hassle.
Do you use AI art or writing within your works?
While we acknowledge the increasing use of AI in art and writing, we do not use AI for any of our commercial works. Our writing has been professionally proofread and crafted entirely with our own words, without any AI assistance. For our artwork, we work with top-tier artists and concept designers from the industry, including those who have contributed to AAA video games like League of Legends, Diablo, and more.
The only use of AI-generated art on our website is in placeholder images, which we plan to replace with works from real artists in the future. Commercial works, including the book, our art gallery, and the detailed world map, are all created without AI assistance.
Will you have any live event signings?
At the moment, we’re not actively seeking to host any events. Our focus is on hiring new talent, expanding the brand and business and writing more cool stuff. However, once we do decide to plan a book signing or other event, our subscribers will be the first to receive the news.
Do you do any editorial work?

COMMON INQUIRIES
How do I purchase the book?

Please note that digital pricing may vary depending on the fees and charges of each platform, but our website typically offers the best deals. Additionally, physical copies are only available through our website, while other sites will only offer the digital version.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major payment methods, including Visa, Mastercard, credit and debit cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal, Skrill, and Venmo.

Do you offer discounts or promotions?
Yes, we offer promotions and discounts from time to time. These are typically available to individuals through special offers, or as a benefit for our Patreon members. To stay updated on the latest deals, we recommend following our website, newsletter, and Patreon page, as we occasionally send out exclusive discounts and early access to offers.
How long will it take to receive my order?
Due to current shipping limitations, orders are expected to arrive within three to four weeks. We plan to reduce this timeframe to seven days in the future, but for now, this is the estimated shipping window. If you haven’t received your order after four weeks, please contact us with your full name, order ID, the initial email confirmation, and your order details at support@worldasteria.com. We’ll send you a replacement at no additional cost.
Do you ship internationally?
We currently offer shipping to the United States, Canada, and Europe. At this time, we do not ship to Asia.
What are your shipping rates?
Enjoy free shipping on your order.
How will my book be delivered?
Shipped via Express Mail or delivered directly to your door through FedEx, USPS, or other major carriers for your region.
Can I return or exchange my purchase?
Once your book has been delivered, we do not accept exchanges or returns. Refunds or replacements will not be provided for changes of mind. However, if your order has not yet shipped, you have 72 hours (3 days) from the time of purchase to contact support@worldasteria.com to upgrade your order (e.g., from softcover to hardcover for an additional fee) or add value-added items such as enamel pins, bookmarks, or art prints. Downgrades are not permitted, but you may cancel your order within the 72-hour window.
By completing your purchase, you acknowledge and agree that the digital version included with your order is non-refundable. If you choose to cancel your order of the physical book, you will retain the digital version; however, a $9.99 digital refund fee will be applied. For example, if you purchased a hardcover edition for $50.00 and later canceled your order, a $9.99 digital refund fee would be deducted, resulting in a partial refund of $39.99.
Can I cancel my order?
You have 72 hours from the time of purchase to cancel your order, applicable only to physical orders. Upon cancellation, a $9.99 digital refund fee will be deducted from your refund, resulting in a partial reimbursement of the original book price (e.g., $50.00 for hardcover edition minus the $9.99 fee). Please note that any digital purchases are non-refundable. We encourage you to review your selection carefully before completing your purchase.
What if I receive a damaged or defective book?
If you receive a damaged book, please contact us at support@worldasteria.com within seven days of receipt. To assist with the process, provide your name, order number, shipping address, date of purchase, date of package arrival, and photos of the damaged book and packaging. Include as much detail as possible regarding the damage. Upon review, we will offer a full refund or arrange for a replacement to be shipped at no additional cost to you.
Can I share or distribute the e-book?
While we cannot physically prevent the sharing of the digital version of the book, please be aware that if we identify any unauthorized distribution or promotion of our book on websites or other media, we will take legal action to the fullest extent permitted by law. We kindly ask that you keep any sharing limited to personal use and close friends—because, let’s be real, we know we can’t exactly stop you, but don’t put it on Facebook for everyone to see, you know?
Can I adapt the IP to other media?
