Our Illumicrate May theme is . . . FATAL FORTUNES
Fortune favours the brave and the bold, but some fortunes may be fatal for all those involved.
Our May book is the first book in an adult fantasy trilogy and you’ll not want to miss this box if you’re fans of:
- Fourth Wing’s dragon x human bond meets His Dark Materials’ daemons
- Female friendships and found family
- Tried and true tropes being switched up
Your plan should be simple: win the duel, claim the magic, try not to die. The problem? Your spellcasting isn't up to par, and the other side's got dragons. But as the once in a generation duel approaches, an opportunity presents itself. For the first time in your life, what felt like a suicide mission just became a battle you can win—unless there's another plot twist or two…
