Enter Mirrored Realms™

Every wish opens a door. Every door demands a price.™

An isolated 17-year-old orphan dismissed as mentally unstable discovers that her temporal fractures are the first signs of a cosmic inheritance: a sealed Grimoire, a dark gothic realm, and a century-old war spanning bloodlines, gods, machines, and memory. Lily must uncover who she is before her immortal grandfather turns her into the monster he needs.

Meet Lily Morvane™

In 1995 Grotwin Shores, Lily is the strange girl at the back of the classroom. She goes perfectly still in the middle of conversations. She draws impossible thermodynamic equations in the margins of her homework. She flinches at mirrors and remembers things that never happened to her.

The adults around her believe she needs to be cured. Lily has learned to survive them by building walls around herself and hiding what she sees.

Her only clues to her true lineage are a silver pendant, a mysterious Grimoire, and fragments of a family she barely remembers. The episodes that made Lily an outcast are the first signs of a rare inheritance: she can cross hidden thresholds between realities.

She is a RealmWalker™.

Lily exists as a fracture in time. She catches glimpses of the past and of futures that keep changing, usually at the worst possible moment.

The clock stops for no man. But it stopped for Lily.

Three realities. One buried truth.

When Lily asks not for power, wealth, or escape, but for the truth, something ancient answers.

She is pulled between three interconnected realities:

Root, the 1990s world Lily believes she knows.

MirrorFold, a huge gothic realm scarred by ancient war, dangerous magic, and living storms.

The Brass Kingdom, a magnificent mechanical empire whose refusal to accept death has become something monstrous.

Every realm holds another fragment of Lily's past, another questionable ally, and another trial shaped by the choices of her bloodline. To survive, she must discover why the realms were created, what her family buried inside them, and who she chooses to become before her grandfather decides for her.

At its heart, Mirrored Realms explores truth, loss, forgiveness, inherited harm, and the freedom to choose a different path. Around that heart is a vast mythology of shattered cities, impossible machines, forbidden artifacts, realm-walking pirates, elemental powers, ruined cathedrals, strange creatures, and sweeping, lush orchestral music.

Why I created it

I began Mirrored Realms with a vision shaped by my own spiritual journey.

I wanted to explore raw, deep psychological, spiritual, moral, and theological questions through a deeply artistic, gothic landscape. The audience experiences those questions through the characters' choices and their consequences: competing forms of magic, ancient books, forgotten bloodlines, old wars, and modern ruins touched by 1990s nostalgia.

One question rests near the center of the entire world:

What if you received everything you believed you wanted, but it cost you the one thing you loved most?

The heartbeat of Mirrored Realms is gothic prestige fantasy, threaded with subtle Christian imagery and spiritual themes: ruined cathedrals, sacrificial love, forgiveness, and shafts of light piercing darkness like sunlight passing through shattered stained glass.

The story feels vast but personal, frightening but beautiful, and dark without surrendering wonder or hope. Every magical choice carries a cost. Every creature and location has a history. The spectacle serves Lily's emotional journey as she learns who she is and decides whether she must repeat the choices of the people who came before her.

Who this world is for

Mirrored Realms is made for people who love intricate magic with real rules and consequences, fractured timelines, psychological mystery, dark academia, gothic beauty, 1990s grunge and nostalgia, and stories that reward close attention.

Its tonal touchstones include the psychological wonder of Pan's Labyrinth, the layered science-fiction mystery of Westworld, and the spiritual heart of The Chronicles of Narnia. Those influences provide a compass, while Mirrored Realms has its own mythology, characters, visual identity, and destination.

A world already built

Years of development already stand behind this campaign. Mirrored Realms extends far beyond a single idea or unfinished pitch. The project currently includes:

A completed pilot screenplay and long-form, multi-season story architecture.

A 41-rule magic handbook defining the powers, costs, limits, and psychological consequences of magic.

Hundreds of pages covering creatures, factions, histories, artifacts, and the relationships among the realms.

Original cinematic music and a developed audio identity for the world.

Visual development for Lily, the realms, creatures, and major locations.

Clear expansion paths into novels, audiobooks, soundtracks, screen storytelling, artwork, games, and interactive experiences.

The private foundation exists. This campaign begins the next stage: transforming years of development into public releases that people can read, hear, wear, display, and share.

About the creator

I am Jedediah Jenk, the creator of Mirrored Realms and founder of Cinematic Alchemism®. My work spans writing, acting, directing, composing, visual development, and production technology.

My experience as a working actor taught me to build characters from the inside out. My professional path has also included work on Grey's Anatomy and experience at Skywalker Sound, which shaped my standards for performance, atmosphere, music, and sound.

I created Cinematic Alchemism to unite character-centered storytelling with immersive audiovisual craft. Mirrored Realms is the central world growing from that work.

What this Crowdfundr campaign will accomplish

The long-term vision includes books, music, episodic screen storytelling, games, and spatial or interactive experiences. This campaign funds the first public release layer. It does not claim to finance an entire television production.

Support from this campaign will help me:

Complete and prepare the first Mirrored Realms book for publication, including the remaining writing, editing, proofreading, layout, and print preparation.

Manufacture and deliver Mirrored Realms music and CD rewards using material that has already been developed.

Produce selected artwork, prints, apparel, and other physical rewards in careful, manageable quantities.

Cover packaging, fulfillment, shipping materials, payment-processing costs, and other direct campaign expenses.

Build a polished public foundation through which readers, listeners, collaborators, and future production partners can discover the project.

If support grows beyond the core fulfillment needs, additional funds can expand the artwork, music, online worldbuilding, and lightweight interactive experiences connected to the realms. I will announce any larger stretch project with a defined scope, budget, and estimated timeline before it becomes a campaign commitment.

The rewards

You may choose more than one reward. There is no need for a separate bundle for every combination. Shipping is charged separately on physical items and is not hidden inside the listed price. I manufacture one unit after that payment has actually cleared. I do not buy speculative inventory.

Finished digital files are sent within 1–3 business days after that payment clears. They are not a month-long manufacture.

Physical items are made one at a time after that payment clears. Estimated delivery is 2–4 weeks. The Crowdfundr date on those rewards is October 20, 2026, the far end of that window. The novel and the Founders Vault hardback have no date yet. They are still in production.

Ready digital files, within 1–3 business days after payment clears:

Support the Realm, $5. A digital thank-you and Founder-supporter badge.

Realm Artwork — Digital Collector File, $15. One selected high-resolution PNG, typically 1664–2048 pixels on the long edge, licensed for personal use, not for redistribution or resale. The pictures on this page are previews. The file you receive is the clean master. The art is AI-assisted.

Mirrored Realms™ 21-Track Digital Soundtrack, $20. The finished album.

Digital Realm Pack, $29. The soundtrack plus one collector artwork, both ready now. This is a featured reward.

Ready to manufacture one at a time after that payment clears. Estimated 2–4 weeks. Shipping extra:

MIRRORED REALMS™ 21-Track Soundtrack — 2-CD Set, $35. The mastered album is about 96 minutes, which will not fit on one standard 80-minute audio CD, so this is two jewel-case discs (tracks 01–12 and 13–21) plus the digital 21-track so you have the album immediately. Kunaki makes that pair to your address after the funds are available. No warehouse of CDs.

Realm Artwork — 8×10 Print, $35. Selected realm artwork from a gated clean master. This is not the MR Shattered Glass logo sheet.

MR Shattered Glass — 8×10 Art Print, $35. The approved MR Shattered Glass logo file.

MR Realm Key, $25. An acrylic key with the MR emblem.

MR Shattered Glass Realm Journal, $35. A blank writing journal with the approved logo. This is not the novel.

Mirrored Realms™ Mug, $30.

MR Shattered Glass Sticker Pack, $15. Three durable logo stickers.

MR Shattered Glass Mouse Pad, $25. About 8.7×7.1 inches.

MR Shattered Glass Desk Mat, $40. Horizontal fracture layout.

MR Embroidered Realm Cap, $35. A simplified embroidered MR emblem on a classic dad hat. Black or Dark Navy. The full shattered-glass artwork is not stitched.

MR Shattered Glass T-Shirt, $40. S through XL are $40. 2XL and 3XL are $43. Large centered chest logo.

Physical Realm Bundle, $99. The 2-CD set, the 8×10 realm artwork print, the MR Realm Key, and the MR Shattered Glass Realm Journal. Pieces may ship separately. Featured.

The shirt, logo print, journal, stickers, mouse pad, and desk mat use the same approved MR Shattered Glass logo file. Only the layout changes. The cap uses a simplified embroidered emblem.

Later, named as such:

Book One — Digital Founders Preorder, $30. The manuscript is still being completed. The public title is not locked. Delivery is after editing, layout, and proofing. No month until that work has a schedule. This does not share a date with the soundtrack or the art.

Digital Founder Pack, $59. The book preorder plus the already-finished soundtrack and collector artwork, so you receive finished work while the book is completed. Soundtrack and artwork: 1–3 business days. The book has no date yet.

Founders Vault — 1 of 101, $350. One number from a single pool of 101. Ready pieces (digital soundtrack and artwork, 2-CD set, 8×10 print, Founder certificate) follow the same 2–4 week manufacture window after payment clears. Optional public Founder recognition if you opt in. The numbered Founders art-and-lore hardback has no date yet. It is still in production. Those pieces ship at different times. Shipping for the later hardback is collected when it is ready. This is not a share of the stories, a job, or a producer credit.

This is a curated launch line, not a dump of every print-on-demand object. A lunch box is not offered in this campaign.

Please read the individual reward. I would rather give every item an honest timeline than pretend that every part of a growing creative universe is already sitting in a warehouse.

A responsible, gated fulfillment plan

This campaign is designed to grow with the support it receives.

The money first covers the direct cost of producing and delivering the rewards supporters select, including manufacturing, packaging, payment-processing expenses, and fulfillment. Remaining funds then move into the next clearly defined production priorities, beginning with completing the book and releasing the music and visual materials.

Physical production is gated. I will place an order only after the relevant funds have cleared and the cost of fulfilling that reward is covered.

Items that can be responsibly produced one at a time, such as individual shirts or prints, may be fulfilled as support arrives. Larger or limited manufacturing runs will wait until the necessary funding threshold has been safely reached. This allows the project to move forward without depending on unfunded inventory.

The artwork and CD materials are ready for production. The book is still being completed. I want every supporter to understand what is ready, what their contribution helps finish, and why different rewards have different fulfillment timelines.

You open the first door

Independent worlds become real when an early group of people decides that the idea deserves a life beyond the creator's desk.

That is where you come in.

When you choose a CD, you help transform the music into a physical release. When you choose a book reward, you help pay for the work that turns a manuscript into a finished edition. When you wear or display the artwork, you help another person discover the world. Following or sharing the campaign may place Mirrored Realms in front of the person who opens the next door.

The founding supporters become part of the project's creation story. Your support helps determine how far and how quickly this first release can grow. It creates a real audience signal and helps Mirrored Realms expand without surrendering its identity or core creative ownership too early.

You do not need to choose the largest reward to matter. Every contribution becomes another piece of the bridge between imagination and reality.

If you believe strange new worlds are still worth building, I invite you to step through with me.

Welcome to Mirrored Realms. The first door is open.
