Our January theme is JOURNEY’S END. Ah weary traveller, care to stop in at this delightful tavern for a rest break? Or maybe you’d prefer to push onwards and reach your journey’s end?
Our chosen book this month is a debut adult fantasy. In a world where gods are outlawed, one mercenary makes her living killing deities. When faced with a god bound to a young girl, they must team up with a retired knight and journey to find the answers they all seek. We loved this inventive world, and seeing all the character POVs in the story!
Our Illumicrate edition features all exclusive:
- Cover, digitally printed edges and foiled endpapers
- Plus full colour printing on the hardback designed by LA Draws
