Our Illumicrate February theme is . . . A CREW OF MY OWN :anchor:
So long we have journeyed through life alone, it feels good to be myself with a crew of my own.
Our February book is the first book in an adult epic fantasy duology and you’ll not want to miss this box if you’re fans of:
- Vast fantasy worlds & multi-POV stories
- Talking animal companions
- The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi & Siege and Storm
What happens when a rag-tag bunch from across the isles (plus one overly-opinionated talking animal) are forced onto an impossible quest? They form an unbreakable bond with each other, and the ship's undead crew, only to abandon their quest for an arguably more foolish goal: toppling the monarchy.
Our Illumicrate Exclusive edition is a royal hardback and will feature:
- An exclusive redesigned cover (art by @alterlier, design by @perrycuffdesigns)
- Full colour artwork on the hardback with foil details (by @artofmaxinevee)
- Digitally printed edges on all three sides (by @perrycuffdesigns)
- Endpaper artwork; different front and back (by @annalisejensen)
- Annotated chapter
- Bound-in author letter
- Digital signature
Our full box will feature three useful and decorative items inspired by our A CREW OF MY OWN fandoms: The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi, Godkiller, and The Illuminae Files, one of which is a set of @merwildandco bookmarks.
