Cartography Blanket

Whether you're tracking tags through snow-filled forests or sailing the high seas with a prince-turned-pirate, this Cartography Blanket will keep your course true and your heart warm! This blanket features a stunning map of Ravka drawn by Sveta Dorosheva.

This blanket is so soft! And it's the perfect lap size for curling up in your favorite chair and getting lost in the world of Shadow and Bone! 

Little Palace Mug

Transport yourself into the heart of Os Alta with this Little Palace Tea Mug! Featuring a removeable glass strainer, and a gorgeous gilded design by @bluelyboo, this mug is the perfect souvenir to take back home from the heart of Ravka.

I love this mug! It's so perfect! Not only is it beautiful crafted, it also make a rather large cup of tea, and the strainer is amazing! It holds so much loose leaf tea, and the slits at the bottom catch so much more of the dregs than my usual metal ball strainer. The handle is a comfortable wood, and the wood lid keeps my tea piping hot while it steeps!

Saint Tokens

No pilgrimage is complete without a token of faith. Featuring designs by @hebeldesign and @divineliterary, this set of Ravkan Saint Token Necklaces keeps the balance between light and darkness.

 These are beautiful, and I love how they're not perfect ovals. They look more like necklaces made with wax seals, which really gives them a touch of decadence. These would make great BFF necklaces for you and a fellow Grisha.

Ravkan Passport Pouch

Travel the vast kingdom of Ravka with this Ravkan Passport Pouch! With a stylish faux-leather finish and customized charm zipper, this passport pouch has space to store all your documents and passport, and features a beautiful design created by @lichen_and_limestone.

I really like the size and feel of this. It's got lots of room inside for all of the essentials, but it doesn't feel bulky and obnoxious. I'm highly contemplating turning this into my everyday wallet because it's just so practical, and it looks so exquisite!

Coronation Tea Tin

Celebrate the coronation of King Nikolai with our Coronation Tea Tin! Featuring ingredients sourced from across Ravka, this bespoke fine black tea blend has been created with love by @riddlesteashoppe.

This tea is so good! As soon as I finished taking these photos I immediately made a cup (in my new Little Palace Mug, of course)! It has such a wonderfully strong, smooth flavor. I love black tea, and this is going to be my new daily cup until it runs out.

Kefta Book Sleeve

This Kefta Book Sleeve features a gorgeous embroidered design inspired by Aline's kefta, created exclusively for our box by @no0nedesigns. Whether you're studying the words of Saints or working on secret Grisha documents, you'll be able to transport your books safely and stylishly!

I was so excited when I pulled this out of the box. This is now a standard part of my luggage any time I travel. It keeps my iPad, bluetooth keyboard, mouse, notebook, pens, sticky, etc. all together in a quick and easy package. I can slide it perfectly into any tote bag or my carry-on.

Amplifier Bookmarks

Carry a piece of Ravka's amplifiers with you with these Transparent Amplifier Bookmarks! Featuring stunning illustrations by @annguyenart, these bookmarks will be perfect for a Shadow and Bone read (or re-read!)

I'm so happy to be able to continue expanding my bookmark collection with these beauties. I love that they're transparent because it makes them seem like stained glass windows. I might have to find a way to display them in my window when I'm not using them as bookmarks.

Saints and Soldiers Pin Set

This Saints and Soliders Enamel Pin Set features our favorite Shadow and Bone characters--The Darkling, Alina, and Mal. With in-book references to their roles and characteristics, these hinged and double-layered pins have been designed with love by @afterblossom_art.

These are stunning and such an amazing piece of merch to have for this fandom. I'm debating between keeping them in their beautiful velvet box or hanging them on my enamel pin banner from the OwlCrate December 2023 Young Adult Book Box.
