To celebrate peace reigning for a millennia, the emperor sends a ship on a twelve-day voyage to the Sacred Goddess’s mountain. Aboard are twelve heirs, each with their own magical blessing—except one. But when one of the heirs is murdered, it is the talentless outcast who must rise to find the killer.

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.
