About the product

Our Illumicrate September theme is . . . KNIGHTCORE!

A true knight can fight everything . . . except their feelings.

If you like knights and devastatingly romantic yearning, we think you’ll enjoy this one!

Our September book is an adult fantasy debut! When a quest to protect a child from an enemy kingdom draws a mage and their knight protector into a war between nations, they are thrust into something far bigger than themselves. But the knight is hiding a secret, and her death would be catastrophic for all magic in the world. With their future and their relationship under threat, the knight and the mage must decide how far they would go for each other and the world.

Our Illumicrate Exclusive edition is a Royal hardback and features:

  • An exclusive redesigned cover (art by @teradiamart; design by @chattynora)
  • Full colour art and foil on the hardback (art by @dominikmayerart; design by @chattynora)
  • Digitally printed edges (by @chattynora)
  • Illustrated endpapers (by @emmagilletteart); different front and back
  • Bound-in author letter
  • Bonus content
  • Digitally signed by the author (on the author letter)

Fandoms this month include Legendborn, Gideon the Ninth, Song of the Lioness, and The Knight and the Moth. Our next weaponry replica is in this box - inspired by Legendborn - and our Gideon the Ninth item is a set of bookmarks illustrated by @merwildandco!
