And here's the final challenge of the campaign...
This is a two-part challenge, since there are multiple herbs that qualify.
Part 1: The first person to guess any 5 of the herbs that might grow in this garden will receive a digital copy of our children’s short story about a Znahar, Born From the Ashes.
Part 2: If you guess the 5 herbs we’ve selected for this garden, you’ll also get a digital copy of Mystical Emona: Soul’s Journey, our fantasy romance in which a Znahar is one of minor the characters.
We’ll provide the first hint in about an hour. Submit answers up to 10 times. Only 5 herbs per each submission, please.
Even if you get the answer to the first part of the challenge early, we’ll wait to announce the winner until someone guesses all the herbs from the second part of the challenge. So, keep the guesses coming.
Post your answers in the COMMENTS section of the Kickstarter campaign.
