Our Illumicrate April theme is . . . FAERIE BARGAINS
Those in need do hear the call, for under spells most humans fall…
To colour beyond mortal margins, they will swear on faerie bargains.
Our April book is an adult cosy historical fantasy standalone and you’ll not want to miss this box if you’re fans of:
- Woodland faeries and folklore
- Magical country houses
- Labyrinth (1986 film) & Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia for Faeries
Surviving the war was one thing, but keeping her inheritance is the real challenge. To stop a loathsome relative from seizing her childhood home, an unlikely heiress strikes a bargain with a silver-tongued faerie. But as the manor’s rot fades and their tentative alliance deepens, she begins to forget her own golden rule: never trust a faerie.
Our Illumicrate Exclusive edition is a royal hardback and will feature:
- An exclusive redesigned cover (art by @niallcgrant)

- Digitally printed edges on all three sides (by @harkalelinai)
