Our Illumicrate December theme is . . . IN THE STARS!
The heavens watch on as empires rise and cities fall, for fate is foretold in the stars.
Our December Illumicrate book is an adult science fiction debut! In a galaxy where humans are indentured to the empire, one young factory worker is determined to rescue her sister. When a time-traveller saves her life, they team up to break into the emperor’s stronghold – the place that holds the answers both need. But a prophecy is afoot, and now they must reckon with a legacy centuries in the making . . .
Our Illumicrate Exclusive edition is a signed Royal hardback and features:
- An exclusive cover (from the publisher)
- Foil embossing on the hardback (by @chattynora)
- Digitally printed edges (designed by the publisher)
- Endpaper artwork (by @_saintdri)
Items this month are inspired by the theme of fate and destiny, and fandoms include The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, Violet Made of Thorns, and Light from Uncommon Stars! We’re very excited to share that the Violet Made of Thorns item will be a notepad, and there will be a multi-fandom wall calendar with artwork by @vitkovskaya_art and design by @chattynora.
