From Page to Portal: Why Talon & Tome Exists

I started Talon & Tome with a simple dream, one rooted deep in the pages of fantasy books that have shaped my life, my imagination, and my sense of adventure.

For as long as I can remember, stories have been my refuge. From the first time I stepped into Prythian to the day I soared over Basgiath on dragonback, fantasy novels have given me more than entertainment. They've gifted me whole worlds: places where I found bravery, heartbreak, magic, rebellion, and sometimes even healing.

Originally, Talon & Tome launched as a subscription box, something immersive to connect book lovers to the stories we adore. But as the brand evolved, I realized I didn’t just want to send books. I wanted to create pieces of those worlds. Tangible items that let us carry our favorite stories with us—on our water bottles, Kindles, shelves, and in our everyday lives.

✨ More Than Merch—A Tribute to Fandoms

Talon & Tome is now home to bookish merch crafted for fantasy lovers.

Whether you're obsessing over Violet and Xaden in Fourth Wing, still recovering from A Court of Mist and Fury, plotting with the Crows, or falling for Norse legends in A Fate Inked in Blood, this is your space.

I design items that reflect the feelings fandom gives us:

  • The thrill of your favorite quote hitting just right

  • The joy of annotating every emotional breakdown

  • The comfort of rereading a scene for the 17th time

  • The sense of belonging that only bookish people understand

🔮 What You’ll Find at Talon & Tome

  • Stunning bookmark sets for annotating or collecting

  • Waterproof vinyl stickers for your Kindle, water bottle, or car

  • Mugs and cozy kits for curling up with your next read

  • Collections by fandom: Fourth Wing, ACOTAR, Grishaverse, and more

  • Original designs that honor iconic moments, quotes, and characters

Every product is made with care and built for fans who feel every chapter.

🖋️ Thank You for Being Here

Talon & Tome isn’t just a shop. It’s a love letter to the books that raised us, wrecked us, and rebuilt us.

I hope you find something here that feels like it was made just for you. Because in a way, it was.

Stay magical,
Celeste
Founder, Talon & Tome
