About the product

Featured book: Godkiller by Hannah Kaner

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 and is signed by the author! We are starting the year with an absolutely STUNNING book that you do not want to miss!

Items this month are inspired by The Lord of the Rings, City of Brass, The Book Eaters, An Enchantment of Ravens, and Saga! We’ve included many items you would find useful on journeys, and some items we’ve never featured before!

  • Adult fantasy debut, first in a series

Our FAQs

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!
