Our August Illumicrate book is an adult fantasy debut! To protect her brother, a young noblewoman assassinates her father and uses her accumulated power to become the head of her family. In the same city, an illegitimate heir discovers the first victim of a serial killer and is drawn into the royal court he’s tried so hard to avoid. With both commanded by the vampire king to find the murderer, they enter a glittering web of desire, treachery and vengeance that could cost them their souls . . .

Please note that trans people use a variety of different words to describe our bodies, for reasons as varied as there are trans people. The words used to describe his body are the ones that he finds comfortable and validating, even though they may not be the words that every trans masculine person would choose. There is no transphobia, misgendering, or deadnaming.

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.
