Our Illumicrate May theme is . . . MAGICAL BONDS!
No matter how they are forged, the bonds between us are magical.
Our May Illumicrate book is an adult fantasy standalone! When a goddess earns the ire of a powerful sage, she is cursed to become mortal. She makes a new life for herself, but when she breaks her curse, she is forced to leave her son behind. Over the years, mother and son’s paths rise and ebb together. With war looming on the horizon, they both must learn the meaning of duty, destiny and family.
