Our Illumicrate April theme is . . . MAGIC VS SCIENCE!
In a world where magic and science co-exist side by side, what discoveries will emerge?
Our April Illumicrate book is an YA fantasy debut! A heroine blessed by death lives in a conquered world, ruled by invaders from the heavens. When her gift is discovered by the enemy prince, he makes a bargain with her: eliminate his political rivals, and her family will never suffer again. But to accept could lead to her ruin—at the hands of her powers, as well as the enemy prince—and the devastation of the country she loves.
