About the product

Our November theme is: DEATH AND FORTUNE! The two often go hand in hand; those who seek great fortune dance with death. And sometimes, fortune can come in the form of death.

Featured Book: Little Thieves by Margaret Owen

Our featured book this month is a YA standalone. Once upon a time, there was a horrible girl. Having stolen the life of a princess to avoid the terrible future presented by her adopted godmothers, Death and Fortune, the girl is only one heist away from freedom when she crosses the wrong god. Cursed, the girl must pull off her biggest job yet if she wants to save her own life. We were obsessed with this main character, her relationships with the other characters and how their plan comes together!

Our Illumicrate Edition comes with all exclusive: cover, full colour printing on the hardback, stencilled & sprayed edges and will come with a signed bookplate! Our fandoms this month are The Scorpio Races, The Hobbit, Under the Whispering Door and She Who Became the Sun!

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!
