The theme of our June 2026 Adult Fantasy box is 🐈‍⬛A STUDY IN RIVALRY!🐈‍⬛⁠ ⁠ Close to graduation, all our heroine needs to do is focus on her studies and maintain her position at the head of the class. The only obstacle? Her insufferably competent rival. His family has deep ties to one of the world's biggest magic distributors, and the pressure to come first is anything but optional. But something is off. His father is acting strange, and there are whispers of uncontrollable surges of wild magic rippling through the city. When those surges start rocking London with explosions, chaos, and familiars going feral, our two rivals find themselves reluctantly and inconveniently involved. Both of their careers are in danger before they've even begun.⁠ ⁠ Armed with their training, their rivalry, and our heroine's deeply judgmental cat familiar, the two of them have no choice but to team up. Diagnosing the magical chaos is hard enough. Ignoring what's surging between them is proving even harder.⁠ ⁠ Our edition features:⁠ 🎓Exclusive redesigned dust jacket art by @annguyenart ⁠ 🎓Reversible dust jacket art with foil by @star.speckle ⁠ 🎓Printed hardcover case with foil designed by @offthehookstudio ⁠ 🎓End page art with foil by @hannahelatham ⁠ 🎓Stenciled edge art by @annguyenart ⁠ 🎓Hand-signed by the author on a page designed by @divineliterary ⁠ 🎓Author letter bound into the book⁠ 🎓Bonus content bound into the book⁠ 🎓Ribbon bookmark⁠ 🎓Book size: 6” x 9”⁠ ⁠ Please note that all books included in our Adult Fantasy subscription are recommended for ages 18+ by the publishers.⁠ This book is a 3🌶️ on our Spice Scale (Medium).⁠ ⁠ For content warnings, please check out our Content Warnings Page.⁠ ⁠ ❗️Our Adult Fantasy Book Only Subscription is currently sold out.

“I was once his captive, then his thief, and now I am only his.” Realm of Thieves by Karina Halle (@authorhalle ) is on our OwlCrate store! 💃🏼💃🏼 Two thieves vie for dominance in the illegal dragon egg trade, putting both their lives and their hearts on the line in this scorching romantasy from New York Times bestselling author Karina Halle. For Brynla Aihr, crime and survival have always gone hand in hand. Ever since she escaped the fanatical dragon-worshipping cult that controls her homeland, she’s had to carve out a life doing the unthinkable: stealing dragon eggs. Egg theft is illegal and, in most cases, fatal. To breach a dragon’s nest means a harrowing journey through the ancient wards spelled to keep the monstrous beasts confined. Dragons can’t get out and only those with a death wish can get in. Despite the risks, dragon eggs are highly coveted for their magic. An illegal trade flourishes under competing criminal empires, and Brynla’s loyalty has always been to the highest bidder. Until she finds herself kidnapped and blackmailed by Lord Andor, a formidable lieutenant of House Kolbeck, and thrust into the dangerous political games of rivaling dynasties. Brynla and Andor clash at every turn, sparking heat in ways Brynla’s never felt before. But in a world that’s prophesized to return to the dragons, and rife with betrayal and secrets at every turn…how close to the flames is she willing to stand?
