🎥 Pack My Order Live
Yes — you can request to have your order packed live on TikTok! 🖤
I often go live while wrapping orders, chatting about the Veil of Shadows world, and sharing sneak peeks of upcoming releases. If you’d like me to pack your order live, here’s how it works:
🕯️ How to Join
I typically go live on Mondays and Wednesdays, though sometimes that changes based on my schedule or my moderators’ availability. Check my TikTok page for the latest live updates and times @authormrpritchard.
đź–¤ How to Get Your Order Packed Live
If you’d like me to pack your order during a livestream:
- Join the live and comment: “Add me to the wrap list!”
- If we don’t catch your comment right away, please comment again — sometimes messages move quickly or get filtered.
- Add emojis if your comments aren’t coming through (TikTok’s filters can be tricky sometimes! ✨📦💀).
- Let us now you ordered at the shopify shop so we know where to find your order.
📜 The Wrap List
Please tell me ASAP that you want your order wrapped live, email or message me to be added to the “Wrap List.” Please note — this list fills up fast, so let us know as soon as possible if you’d like to be included!

🕯️ About Midnight Ledger Books
Welcome to Midnight Ledger Books — the official shop of author M. R. Pritchard, creator of the dark fantasy romance universe where angels, demons, and mortals blur the line between love and damnation.
Each book, box, and signed edition offered here is curated, packed, and shipped directly from our home in Florida. Every preorder supports independent publishing — helping to bring new stories, artwork, and collectible editions to life.
This shop exists for the readers who crave morally gray heroes, haunting romances, and worlds where every shadow hides a secret.
When you order here, you’re not buying from a faceless warehouse — you’re supporting an author, a creative team, and a living universe.
Thank you for helping keep the darkness alive and the stories burning bright.
🖤 Welcome to the Veil.
🕯️ Preorder Policy
Welcome to the world of Veil of Shadows. Many of our special editions, signed copies, and exclusive boxes are offered through preorder so you can reserve your place among the first to receive them. Each preorder helps support the creation of these limited, hand-packed editions.
When Your Order Will Ship
If your order includes a preorder item, your entire order will ship once all preorder items are in stock and ready to fulfill. This allows us to package your items together safely and ensure every signed copy and bonus item is included.
If you wish to receive available books or merchandise sooner, please place separate orders for in-stock and preorder items.
Estimated Shipping Dates
Estimated release or shipping dates are listed on each product page. These dates are subject to change if production, printing, or supplier delays occur. Any updates will be shared through store announcements or email notifications.
Changes & Cancellations
Preorders may be canceled within 48 hours of purchase. After that window, all preorder sales are considered final, as funds are allocated toward printing and production.
Combined Preorders
If multiple preorder items are purchased together, your order will ship when all titles are available. For example, if one book releases in October and another in December, the full order will ship in December.
Questions or Updates
If you need to update your shipping address or have questions about your preorder, please reach out with your order number in the subject line.
🕯️ Refund & Return Policy
Each order from Veil of Shadows Books is packed with care and intention. Our products are often hand-signed, preordered, and include exclusive swag items that are produced in limited quantities. Because of this, all sales are final.
All Sales Are Final
Once an order is placed, it cannot be canceled, exchanged, or refunded. Each book is inspected to ensure it arrives in mint condition before packaging, and every box is hand-assembled to preserve the quality of these books.
Damaged or Incorrect Items
If your order arrives damaged or incorrect, please contact us within 7 days of delivery with photos of the item and packaging. We will assess the issue and work with you to find a solution — typically a replacement if stock allows, or store credit if not.
Missing Items
If you believe an item was missing from your package, please email us within 7 days of receipt so we can verify packing records and assist promptly.
Returns
Because of the collectible nature of our books, returns are not accepted unless a mistake was made on our end. Opened, read, or altered books, as well as items missing packaging, cannot be returned.
Preorders & Special Editions
Preordered and special edition items are non-refundable, as funds are used immediately for production, printing, and custom swag creation.
Thank you for understanding that every order supports an independent author and the continued creation of the Veil of Shadows world. Your purchase helps bring these dark stories to life.
