The Superfan Trials

THE SUPERFAN TRIALS

21 questions. Miss more than 5 and you're out. Can you prove you really read them?

No entry fee. No purchase. Just you, the books, and the hardest test a House of Crow reader can take — live on camera.

What You're Playing For

This isn't a cash giveaway — it's a test of devotion, and every reader who passes earns the same honors:

  • Crown-Verified Reader — an official badge and certificate in your name, to post and to keep.
  • The Vault — exclusive bonus content: cutting-room notes from the author, the series continuity bible, character dossiers, and an early look at the next book.
  • A reader's reward — the House of Crow store code CROWVERIFIED, for everyone who clears the bar.

And for anyone who scores a perfect 21 of 21: your name printed in the acknowledgments of the next book. There's no limit on how many readers can earn it — ace the Trials and you're in.

The Two Trials

⚔️ The Blackthorne Dynasty — live July 21, 2026

Read all four — The Blackthorne Bargain (FREE), The Blackthorne Vow, The Blackthorne Heir, The Blackthorne Crown — then face 21 questions on the series.

👑 Heirs of the Black Dynasty — live July 23, 2026

Read the free prequel What the Harbor Holds plus all five Heirs novels — The Widow Contract, The Black Crown Vow, The Drago Betrayal, The Moretti Heir, Queen of the Black Dynasty — then take the 21.

The Bar

21 questions. Miss no more than 5. Six or more wrong and your run ends. Pure skill — built so a reader who truly knows the books passes, and a skimmer can't. There's no luck and no draw: everyone who clears the bar earns every honor above.

How to Take the Trials

  1. Read the series — every book is free to read in Kindle Unlimited, and both prequels cost nothing. No purchase necessary, ever.
  2. Join the Crow Circle — sign up below (or in the footer of any page). That's how you get the bonus Vault, the live-stream link, and your Crown-Verified badge.
  3. Sit the Trials live — join the stream on your date and answer the 21 on camera, or follow along and test yourself.
  4. Earn your honors — clear the bar and the badge, the Vault, and the code are yours. Ace it and your name goes in the next book.

The Superfan Trials are a free, skill-based reader event. No purchase necessary and no entry fee. There is no cash prize, and no prize is awarded by chance: every reader who meets the stated score earns the same non-cash honors — a digital badge and certificate, bonus digital content, a store discount code, and (for a perfect score) an acknowledgments credit in a future book. Open to readers everywhere; you take part by joining the free Crow Circle newsletter. Every book is free to read in Kindle Unlimited. Questions? Use the contact form on this site.
