About the product

Featured Book: A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske 

This month’s book is a historical fantasy set in Edwardian England. A civil servant finds himself placed as the new liaison to Britain’s hidden magical society after the sudden disappearance of his predecessor. Bound by a deadly curse, both he and his prickly magical counterpart must solve the mystery that will save his life. We completely fell in love with the world created by this author, and the dynamics between the two main characters makes for one of team Illumicrate’s favourite romantic pairings ever!

Our edition features an exclusive cover with a transparent overlay dust jacket, digitally printed edges and is signed by the author!

Our featured fandoms are Winternight, Nevermoor, Girl, Serpent Thorn, and an officially licensed Ninth House item! We also have an item featuring multiple fandoms and this is a @rosiethorns88 mug month!

Thanks to @colbywilkens for this stunning picture.

Our FAQs

Explore our Frequently Answered Questions section for the solution to all your burning questions.

All FAQs
  • Will you be restocking any of your special edition boxes?

    All our Illumicrate Editions, Collections and Archives boxes are sold as one-off boxes, which means once they're sold out they won't be restocked in the future. 

    While we don't regularly sell individual items, very occasionally we do have sales of full boxes or individual items we have left over after replacements and damages. These sales are usually announced on our social media so keep your eyes peeled!

    Sometimes we have reprinted book sets such as the Roots of Chaos set, however it is very rare that we do this. We also cannot guarantee any reprinted sets will be signed. As with all of our products, any reprints will be announced on social media and the news section of our website.

  • Can I buy past boxes or individual items from past boxes?

    If a special edition book or box does not sell out prior to the initial shipping date, it will remain for sale in our shop. If they do sell out during the pre-order window (before the initial shipping date), we will wait at least three months to resolve any orders that were damaged or lost in transit. Once an appropriate period has passed for these to be resolved, we will assess the remaining stock and may put the remainder up for sale.

    If you can't find a past special edition in our shop, it means we currently don't have the stock available - sorry for any disappointment.

    We also sometimes sell the books or full boxes from our monthly box and book subscriptions in our shop. If you are based in the US or Canada, you can purchase Illumicrate past boxes from our US website.

    While we don't regularly sell individual items, very occasionally we do have sales of individual items we have left over. These sales will usually be announced on our social media so keep your eyes peeled!

    Yes, we can ship to almost every country! There are a few exceptions, currently, we cannot ship to: Belarus, the Canary Islands, China, El Salvador, Guadalupe, Haiti, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Ukraine. This is because our shipping company is unable to deliver in these countries, sorry!
