Every month, we pick one newly released fantasy book which we loved – and think you will too!
Titles chosen will encompass a range of vibrant subgenres – from cosy fantasy and sword-and-sorcery, to urban epics and mythology retellings. We will also occasionally feature books that cross genre boundaries (e.g. Science Fantasy, Horror Fantasy), but our focus will always be on picking novels we know fantasy fans will love. Most books included will be for an adult readership, but we will occasionally include YA titles.
Books will arrive with you in our signature wrapping – recycled brown paper, twine, a wax seal – along with a luxury tea bag and a signed bookplate when possible. All our packaging is sustainably sourced and plastic-free.
Dryad's Book Subscription is £11 a month (£14.80 including UK Tracked shipping) and is available as a monthly subscription, or as a 3-, 6- and 12-month prepaid subscription. Books will be shipped monthly.
Prices include shipping for UK orders. Make sure to use code FREESHIP at checkout.
Your first book will be shipped soon after your order, and your subsequent books will be shipped at the beginning of each month, or on the book's publication date. For instance, if you ordered a 3-month subscription on September 14th, you would receive our September Book of the Month first, and then our October Book of the Month on October 9th. This is because October 9th is the book's publication date.
If you would prefer to start your subscription with a specific month, let us know by leaving a note at checkout or emailing hello@dryad-books.co.uk.
Please also let us know if you're buying this subscription as a gift so we can include a gift message, and so we don't ruin the surprise by sending out a book before you're ready to gift!
Dryad's Book Subscription – 3, 6 or 12 Month
If you would like to order a subscription, but you're based outside the UK, please get in touch before purchasing so that we can provide you with an accurate postage quote. Thank you!
Our July book is This is Where the Future Bleeds by Mike Brooks.
This month's book includes a signed bookplate, and we expect copies to ship mid-late July.
A thrilling adventure packed with laughs, escapes and kick-ass action, about a smart-talking bunch of rogues and dropouts being thrust into an epic quest to save the future and meddle with the destinies of empires. From the Audible-bestselling author of The Lion: Son of the Forest, and perfect for fans of Tasha Suri, Richard Swan, Samantha Shannon and Netflix's Arcane.
Kitt Carver is one of the best diviners in the business at finding destinies for the rich and powerful. When she’s nearly killed, and her regular broker is murdered, it becomes clear someone has an issue with the last destiny she found.
Determined not to let anyone else die, Kitt gathers a mismatched group – including Two Tongue Derna, her childhood friend and now a renowned street duellist, and Sulian the Swallowmage, powerful but plagued with intrusive visions of futures – and sets off across the Timeless Lands to warn the destiny’s recipient.
However, unbeknownst to Kitt, she has her own destiny; one which might spell disaster for everyone.
