About the product

Featured book: The Sun and the Void by Gabriela Romero Lacruz

When a young woman is saved from death by her estranged sorceress grandmother, she becomes entangled with a mysterious family and a dark god. We loved this epic sapphic fantasy inspired by South American folklore, where ancient magics thrive and secret powers threaten to seduce!

The book at a glance:

  • Adult fantasy debut, first in a series
  • All exclusive: cover, foil embossing on the hardback, digitally printed edges, endpaper artwork, signed by the author
  • F/F romance; F/F and M/M romances between secondary characters; left-handedness representation; diverse cast; Venezuelan (Andean and afro-Venezuelan) representation

About the Author

Gabriela Romero Lacruz is a multidisciplinary artist and author of the #1 Sunday Times bestselling novel, THE SUN AND THE VOID. She graduated with a BS in chemical engineering from the University of Houston and, after a stint in oil and gas, launched The Moonborn, a clothing, accessories, and stationery brand featuring her own illustrations. She writes dark and twisty fantasy stories set in places that remind her of her homeland, so in her mind, she’s never too far from the beaches and mountains of Venezuela. She also illustrates books for children and adults.

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!
