Guardians of Dawn: Zhara by S. Jae-Jones Full Box (Illumicrate 'Hidden Magic' exclusive)
$38.00
About the product
Magic is forbidden throughout the Morning Realms. Magicians are called abomination, and blamed for the plague of monsters that razed the land twenty years before.
Jin Zhara already had enough to worry about—appease her stepmother’s cruel whims, looking after her blind younger sister, and keeping her own magical gifts under control—without having to deal with rumors of monsters re-emerging in the marsh. But when a chance encounter with an easily flustered young man named Han brings her into contact with a secret magical liberation organization called the Guardians of Dawn, Zhara realizes there may be more to these rumors than she thought. A mysterious plague is corrupting the magicians of Zanhei and transforming them into monsters, and the Guardians of Dawn believe a demon is responsible.
In order to restore harmony and bring peace to the world, Zhara must discover the elemental warrior within, lest the balance between order and chaos is lost forever.

- AAlaynaRated 5 out of 5 stars10 months agoEaster Eggs for the Win!
I love what Illumicrate has done with this series so far! The naked hard cover on both books being volumes of The Maiden who was Loved by Death is such a fun easter egg. The dust jacket art is a much better fit for the vibe of the book when compared to other S. E. versions I've seen (*cough*Bookish*cough*), even though it doesn't have many changes from the standard dust jacket. The edges on Zhara are absolutely gorgeous and well-designed!

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.
