Featured book: The Last Hour Between Worlds by Melissa Caruso

Temporal hands pass silently over the clock face, counting down to the moment time runs out.

Our November 2024 Illumicrate book is an adult fantasy! A new mother has a few hours to herself at the annual year-turning ball, but then attendees start turning up dead. Dragged into a mystery and the lure of her troublesome nemesis, she starts investigating. At the heart of it all seems to be an odd clock which distorts reality, and as it counts down she must solve the enigma before disaster strikes in the final hour.

Our Illumicrate Exclusive edition is a Royal hardback and features:

  • An exclusive cover (from the publisher)
  • Full colour printing and foil on the hardback (by @zookie_art)
  • Digitally printed edges (by @perrycuffdesigns)
  • Illustrated endpapers (by @marceline2174); different front and back
  • Bound-in author letter
  • Signed by the author

If you love dimensions within dimensions, time loops and sapphic workplace nemeses, we think you’ll enjoy this one!

Fandoms this month include Crownchasers, The Principle of Moments and This Is How You Lose the Time War! Our next book pot will be in this box, and there will also be a useful item designed by @forensicsandflowers.
