Afterlight: May 2022

Subscriptions are now open for our May Afterlight box! This box will include a newly released romance book, alongside two useful, fandom neutral items. Already an active Afterlight subscriber? Your subscription will renew automatically on 1st May!

Our May Afterlight book is an adult romance debut from a prolific speculative fiction author.

As an artist is easing back into the dating scene after losing her husband five years ago, she’s given the chance of a lifetime – an all expenses paid trip to a tropical island, with a guy who seems perfect on paper, and will introduce her to a curator who wants to kick-start her career. However, once they arrive there’s someone else on her mind: the one person she really shouldn’t be falling in love with. Can she overcome her grief without forgetting her past, and find a way to be with the one she’s falling for? We loved this gorgeous story about finding yourself after loss, and the obstacles of chasing a second chance at love.

Our May Afterlight book is a hardback with sprayed edges and a digital signature! One of the items this month will be a large, useful item, featuring a gorgeous pattern designed by @janinelecour. This item is perfect for the summer days ahead!
