Our July Illumicrate book is a standalone adult fantasy debut! When a keeper at a magical zoo realises she has a chance to save phoenixes from extinction, she jumps at the opportunity. But to keep patrons interested, she must team up with the griffin keeper who runs the zoo’s most popular exhibit. The problem? The griffin keeper happens to be her arch-rival from college. Despite their past, they must find a way to work together. If they fail, the extinction of an entire species will be on their shoulders.

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.

    Please fill out our Customer Support form and we can do that for you! If you change your address in your account, this will not carry over to any orders you have paid for, only future orders.

  • I've changed my mind, can I have a refund?
