Our Illumicrate March theme is . . . WHERE MY DEMONS HIDE
Beneath the skin, the layers of muscle and bone—a demon hides deep in my heart and my soul.
Our March book is an adult fantasy standalone and you’ll not want to miss this box if you’re fans of:
- Rarely told mythology retellings
- Female rage
- The Poppy War's righteous rage meets Daevabad's vibes
Being the youngest daughter of a rebel leader is exhausting, especially when your family protects you from the action. But a lifetime of injustice has turned your inner spark into a full-blown supernatural inferno. Haunted by shadows and fuelled by a rage that’s finally hitting its boiling point, you’re done waiting for the fire—you’re becoming it. Only your forbidden lover and trusted family friend know the way to cool you down... but when there’s nothing left to lose you may as well burn your name into the history books.
Our Illumicrate Exclusive edition is a royal hardback and will feature:
- An exclusive redesigned cover (art by @fdasuarez, design by @chattynora)
- Full colour artwork on the hardback with foil details (art by @fdasuarez, design by @chattynora)
- Digitally printed edges on all three sides (by @fdasuarez)
- Endpaper artwork; different front and back (by @salmakiis)
- Annotated chapter
- Bound-in author letter
- Digital signature
Our full box will feature three useful and decorative items inspired by our WHERE MY DEMONS HIDE fandoms: Katabasis and Ninth House. There is also a fandom-neutral item. We consider all three of these to be bigger, high-value items, one of which is our next fandom-neutral book pot.
