Our Illumicrate May theme is . . . ANCIENT ARTEFACTS!
These ancient artefacts are dangerous to you and me.
Our May book is an adult fantasy debut! In a world where only those of noble blood can summon ancestral spirits to fight in battle, a commoner is able to invoke a powerful ancient spirit. The spirit could be the key to ending a centuries-old war, but not every spirit summoned is an ancestor and some are more dangerous than anyone can imagine . . .
