This is a single purchase of one of our past book only subscriptions and will not subscribe you to any of our subscription products. 

In a world where magic is forbidden and a mysterious plague is spreading across the land, a young woman is struggling to hide her powers. But when she gets caught up with a secret magical organisation, she has no choice but to embrace her powers and restore peace to the realm. We loved this story full of sweeping romance and lush, complex worldbuilding.

  • An exclusive hardback of a UK paperback
  • Full colour printing on the hardback by Kira Yukishiro

The book at a glance:

  • You'll love this if you like... secret identity, animal companions, and reluctant heroes

About the Author

S. Jae-Jones (called JJ) is an artist, an adrenaline junkie, and the New York Times bestselling author of the Wintersong duology and the Guardians of Dawn series. Born and raised in Los Angeles, she now lives on the wrong coast, where she can’t believe she has to deal with winter every year. When not writing, JJ can be found working toward her next black belt degree in taekwondo, being run ragged by her twin dogs, Castor and Pollux, or indulging in her favorite hobby — collecting more hobbies.

All FAQs
  • What is Illumicrate?

    Illumicrate started life as a quarterly subscription box, and we're proud that we were the first UK book subscription box! We launched in the summer of 2015, and our very first box was November 2015. We now offer two options for the Illumicrate monthly subscriptions: a full box subscription and a book only subscription, which features the books included in our monthly boxes.

    In 2021 we launched Afterlight, a quarterly romance subscription box that is now monthly. Evernight, a quarterly horror subscription box, was launched in July 2023. Our new science fiction book only subscription Starbright will launch in February 2025.

    We also offer special editions of books and book sets, with a range of customisations exclusive to Illumicrate. We have also held virtual signings and in 2019 we launched our Debut Boxes, showcasing new debut authors. Our Collections, Archives and Mini-boxes focus on a particular author or fandom.
