This is your scheduled reminder that the Ilona Andrews Special Edition Box goes live on preorder from Arcane Society tomorrow, November 15:
- For Arcane Society members: first access, at 1 pm Pacific Standard Time
- For public: open access at 4 pm Pacific Standard Time . Clarifying here that you do NOT need to be an Arcane Society member to buy it, it’s open to everyone.
If you click on it now, it will prompt you for a passcode. This is because it is not live. I know some people were confused- we have to w*it until tomorrow. I know, I know.
The Ilona Andrews Special Box will contain exclusive hardcover editions of both Iron and Magic and Blood Heir– here is the first look at Iron and Magic and here is the sneak peak of Blood Heir.
The price for the box is $70. The boxes are likely to ship in March 2024. There are limited signed copies and unsigned copies available.
Arcane Society editions do not get reprinted. Once the stock is gone, that’s it. The signed copies usually sell out on the day of release (tomorrow), between members and public access.
If you need to ask questions, make shipping arrangements etc: their contact email is help@arcanesociety.com.
Luisa Preissler designed both dustjackets, and there will be foil design on the hardcover, interior art and signing sheet art if you buy the autographed copies.
Arcane Society are a book subscription service, specializing in fantasy and paranormal romance. You do not need to become a member to buy their Special Boxes (like this one), but you can if you want to have access to their monthly ones. You can find out more about it on their About and FAQ pages. If you want to check out previous Special Boxes from them to look at their products and see what you’re signing up for, YouTube has you covered (just click).
To figure out Pacific Standard Time where you are, I like this website.
Good luck!
Breann says
How?
Patricia Schlorke says
Good luck everyone!
Bucky! 😁📚
(FYI: 1 pm Pacific Time is 3 pm Central Time, and 4 pm Pacific Time is 6 pm Central Time in the US.)
Teri says
That’s 1am for public access, it’s like they don’t like me! 😭
I don’t think I can afford it anyhow 😞
Desirée says
Do anyone know if they ship to EU? It is not listed and they have not yet answered my email…
Moderator R says
Hope they answer soon! I’m sorry, I’m not sure.
Desirée says
I got my answer!
They ship to Denmark at least 🙂
Moderator R says
That’s great! I know that they work with people and make arrangements even if it’s not on their official list, so always worth asking 🙂
TessaB says
I emailed them last week to ask about shipping to Ireland. They replied on Monday, with an estimate on the cost and to say that they would have it added as a standard option for the box when it went on sale. Fair play, when I went online yesterday, I had no problems placing an order and Ireland was there as a shipping option!
Stephanie says
They recently started shipping to the Netherlands, Germany and France in the EU. Another option is a forwarding service in the US, which I have been using so far.
Erin says
I’m still being asked for a passcode. It’s 4:03 PT. Womp womp.
Moderator R says
It will only open on the 15th of November at 1 pm PST.
If you let me know how I could have made that clearer, I will amend the article 🙂
Elizabeth says
Still getting passcode request. I have a shop account and it’s 4:08 PT
Erin says
I’m trying every few minutes and still locked out. I’m dying inside.
sarafina says
It’s being sold on November 15. It is November 14 here.
Moderator R says
because it is currently 14 November, 9 pm PST.
I start the article explaining how the sale is on the 15th of November, 1 pm for members and 4 pm for public.
Debi says
I’m glad it’s not just me still being asked for passcode. Hopefully they fix that soon.
Erin says
it’s going to be sold out by the time they do 😭
M says
You guys; the sale is TOMORROW. Not today. 🙂
Erin says
OMG lol yes, it sure does say November 15th.
Moderator R says
Everyone is still being asked for a password. The sale is on the 15th 🙂
Vinity says
They are still asking for a passcode for me on the east coast? It’s after 7 it would be up?
Moderator R says
The sale is tomorrow, 15 of November, at 1 pm/4 pm Pacific time.
sarafina says
Thanks for adding the time conversion thing. Also, is there a price difference between signed and unsigned?
Thanks, you are very good to us.
Moderator R says
No 🙂, they will just sell out first, especially with the Arcane Society members having first go.
Desirée says
And the Horde being The Horde….
Patricia Schlorke says
Especially with dates…
Mod R, how can you stand us when we don’t look at the correct date? 😀
Patricia Schlorke says
Oops, this post should be the one below not the one above.
Moderator R says
I don’t mind, I just want to know how I can do it better, so everyone has access to the info! 🙂
I make it as clear as possible according to how my brain works, but not everyone’s brain is the same, so Bold lettering and bullet points is obviously not the way, since so many people didn’t see it.
Patricia Schlorke says
Especially with dates…
Mod R, how can you stand us when we don’t look at the correct date? 😀
Pssst everyone the sale is today here in the US since it is November 15, 2023. Now, the wait is on for the correct time.
Coreen says
Still needs a password…
Coreen says
Per their help desk, it’s actually 7pm EST (3 hours from now) that the public sale starts
Moderator R says
And that would be 4 PM PST, as the article says 🙂 . You’re saying EST, I’m saying PST.
Bart says
The site is working now for Arcane Society members. My copy has been ordered!
sarafina says
Mine 2!! It’s a long time to March, though.
Moderator R says
Yes, because it’s 1:23 pm PST! 2 and a half more hours for nonmembers!
Amanda says
The site is working for Arcane Society subscribers, and I was able to place my order!
Stephanie says
I actually didn’t get the email with the passcode despite being a subscriber. But fortunately, their customer service helped very quickly and I managed to get a copy after all. Thank goodness for their great service.
I’m really looking forward to the books now. They look beautiful and nice editions of an Ilona Andrews book are just great. I’m glad you decided to work with Arcane Society.
Vinity says
Countdown 1 mintue to open sale
Breann says
Yay! I got one! 🥳
PSMH says
7:00 ET success! *big puffy hearts*
Donna says
Me too! I’m so excited!
PSMH says
YAY!!!
Kelly Jacobs says
Unlike the ebay/auction that supported the library,
I got the books tonight!
Yeah, in March a big surprise will be delivered.
My favorite Authors book in a fine binding.
Thank you.
Maryam says
Just pre-ordered my signed copy!! I’ve had a reminder on my home etc. I was sitting in front of the computer until the clock hit 7am (Cambodia time), though having it delivered to my US address. Super excited!!
Ami says
I was able to place my order, so excited! Can’t wait to get them.
Amy Ann says
Yes!!!!
Kells says
Bought…ugh…so satisfying…😁
Amy says
I got one! They look gorgeous, fair play for doing this.
Susan says
I happened to look at this post at 4:04pm PST on the 15th… perfect and ordered. I’m excited. <3
Vinity says
Hurray, after having trouble getting in, apparently I had already signed in before, I have my conformation number!!
Jordan Summers says
The site is still asking for a sign in to order the book even though it’s past the PST start period. 🙁

I GOT ONE!!!
Treya says
Managed to order a copy, conversion came out to $110 AUD plus $53 shipping (cheapest shipping option). Invesment made and early birthday present to self. Will finally have an autographed book.
If IA ever come to Australia and do book signings I reckon the line will be about 5 miles long so don’t skip arm day.
GG says
Hahaha for sure, if they ever come to Australia I will be there. 🙂
I’m so excited! Thought I’d missed out but I got an order in. Yay!
Ally says
I audibly gasped when I saw that I was 25 minutes past the start time. I freaked thinking they probably are gone by now. But no! I was able to snag a box for me – a very late Christmas gift in March I suppose. It looks beautiful.
wingednike says
Make sure to have good internet connection. I was shopping through my phone and kept hitting a snag during the payment portion. I finally remembered to connect through the house WiFi and my order finally processed.
I hope everyone is able to get what they want.
Sarah says
I’m so excited that I was able to order a signed set! I can’t wait to see the finished copies when they arrive next year.
I was impressed with their price for international shipping too, it was less than half of what I paid for each of the subterranean press signed editions!
njb says
Ordered! My Christmas gift to myself. Very much looking forward to this
Desirée says
I got mine!
Perfect timing for late birthday present, when it arrives <3
Elisa says
I’m in the middle of a move so I just ordered my set. Thank goodness they still had a few copies, since it’s now well past the time they went on sale. So excited!!!!!
Diane Twiss says
I got mine! I’m so happy!
Stephanie says
I’d like to thank Ilona Andrews and Arcane Society for making enough copies here, in particular signed sets. Those often sell out during the subscribers-only sale, and that it isn’t difficult to get them this time is really due to the generosity when it comes to signing enough copies and Arcane Society being willing to make a relatively large production run. A lot of authors or smaller publishers don’t do that. So a heart-felt Thank you!
PSMH says
Hear, hear! <3
Betul says
Ordered! I can’t wait to get my hands on these beauties!
Irene says
A day later and they are still available 😉 But glad I waited yesterday till my midnight to order mine.
Harukogirl says
Really hoping Arcane decides to do more editions – maybe all of innkeeper??
Moderator R says
An Innkeeper collected edition with the most recent books is coming from Subterranean Press soon. The art is GORGEOUS! Especially the Sweep of the Blade character illustrations! Shhhhh, that’s all I’m going to say 😀
Stephanie says
Excellent news!
Harukogirl says
OMG you totally made my day (and work has SUCKED this week). I own all the Subterranean editions and I love them 😍😍😍.
I do have two other release related questions…
1. Will Gunmetal Magic get a graphic Audio release as well?
2. Pretty much all of Currens POV are from Magic Slays and before. But I’m enjoying their GA audio versions SO MUCH and I’m wishing there were a couple from the second half of the series. Do you think, if the BDH was very very very good, we might get one or two new Currens POVs from later books in the series?
🙈🙈🙈 I understand if this is not possible but… it would be very very very awesome
Harukogirl says
since I read Magic Rises, I’ve desperately wanted a Currens POV from when he thought she was dead. And the unhinged romp down the mountain side 😂
Moderator R says
Gunmental Magic will not be adapted by Graphic Audio, at least not yet. The contract for Kate’s adaptation is for the 10 main series novels and Small Magics.
I don’t know officially about Curran POVs from the past – but the Wilmington Series contains Curran POVs! https://ilona-andrews.com/katie-daniels-books/#wilmington
Harukogirl says
Yay!!! I’m rereading all of Kate before starting Wilmington, so I didn’t know!!
Breann says
Any word on if they’ll reprint the first set? 🤞🤞🤞
Moderator R says
It doesn’t seem likely at the moment, but maybe they could be enticed to?
Breann says
Thanks Mod R! I’ve emailed them asking, but didn’t get a response. I think that means that I need to send another email. Maybe others will want to email them asking for it as well…… 😼
Stephanie says
I’d love to get the Kate Daniels and / or Edge series from Arcane Society. And Kate Daniels would fit what they started with these two titles.
Harukogirl says
The edge and/or Kate would be amazing. The edge is shorter so it’d be easier for them to do. But it is traditionally published (and a lot of arcane societies editions aren’t), so idk how that works. And so is Kate, with the exception of novellas etc
Suzanne Ledford says
I was so prepared for this bad boy that I checked out in 3 mins 😂😂😂
Harukogirl says
Me too haha. I set like 12 alarms and was obsessively refreshing until I could order 😂
Bonnie McDaniel says
Snagged a signed box! Got in a day later (forgot….grrr) but there must’ve been some left!
