Attention, Dallas-area Horde, I have a special announcement.
On Friday, May 15th, at 6:30 pm, Ilona and Gordon are emerging from the writing cave (trademark pending) and heading to Half Price Books in Dallas to moderate one of Veronica Roth’s signing tour appearances for her new book, Seek the Traitor’s Son.
And what a book to talk about!
Seek The Traitor’s Son
An epic, romantic dystopian fantasy begins in Seek the Traitor’s Son, from #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Divergent series, Veronica Roth. Available on May 12th from Tor Books, in deluxe hardcover edition with sprayed edges.

Elegy Ahn did not ask for destiny to find her.
She is happy with her life as a soldier, defending her small country from the Talusar, a powerful nation who worships a deadly Fever. A fever that blesses half of its victims with mysterious gifts.
But then she’s summoned to hear a prophecy–her, and the most ruthless of Talusar generals, Rava Vidar. Brought face to face, they learn that one of them will lead their people to victory over the other…but they don’t know which. And at the center of both of their fates: a man. A man that, Elegy is told, she will fall in love with. In just one day, Elegy’s old life–her job, her purpose, and her future–is over.
She and Rava are destined to collide, with the fate of their nations hanging in the balance. And when they do, only one will be left standing.
Elegy intends to make sure it’s her.
Destiny, prophecies, enemy generals, romance, warfare, mysterious gifts, and the fate of nations hanging in the balance? Yes, please! I know Ilona and Gordon are extremely excited to see Veronica and hear all about it.
House Andrews will be there in a supporting role as moderators, making sure the evening is a true celebration of Veronica and her incredible new book. Think of this as a “chatting shop” night, a chance to see them in conversation with another fantastic writer!
If you are in the Dallas area and would like to attend, tickets for the event are available for purchase here.

If you would like to attend a signing and you can’t make it to Dallas, Veronica’s tour will have multiple stops in both the US and the UK – for full details of all appearances, moderating authors and dates, check out her website here.
Happy preordering and May the 4th be with you!



First?
Congratulations 🙂
bwhahaaaaa! I have my tickets!!!
I love the divergent series. I feel like I am entering Nerdvana!
Please come to the East Coast if you have time!!
P.S. I just got my OwlCrate edition of TKWNKM! Opening it now to see the art!
I hope you like the illustrations!
To clarify, this is Veronica Roth’s tour and event, Ilona and Gordon are only moderators of this one stop 🙂
OMG how does it look? I wish we could post photos lol
I don’t have a subscription so living vicariously through you
Veronica Roth is so great! Have a great time, Dallas folks!
Can’t wait for my preorder of “Seek the Traitor’s Son” to roll up. Also, BDH, if you haven’t yet read “When Among Crows” and “To Clutch a Razor” – you’re in for a treat.
Awesome!! Thank you for sharing this!
Enjoy Dallas based Horde! Watch for traffic during that time. It gets as sketchy as Houston does in the Hidden Legacy books. 😉🤣🤣🤣🤣
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to go even though I live in Fort Worth.
Thanks for the info, Mod R. 😁
By the way, the Half Price Books store in Dallas is the flagship store in the DFW area. Their inventory is most likely more than the other Half Price Books stores across the area. That could possibly mean they may have the hardback of This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me.
As Mod R says, check with the store for more information. 😊
Is there any chance of getting a hard cover collectors version of This Kingdom will Not Kill Me there as well?
This is Veronica’s event, Ilona and Gordon are there as moderators 🙂
I am not certain what “collector version” means to you 🙂 , you would have to get in touch with the bookstore themselves to enquire which editions they retail – I have tagged them in the article.
Very cool! Will have to look into the new book. Have fun BDH!
May the 4th be with you too
Dear Moderator and authors-
Why did you do this to us, your faithful book devouring horde members? A cliff hanger ending to “This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me”? This is not like you. Please reassure us that you just wrote so many adventures that you split them and the second book will be out momentarily. Otherwise, I will worry about Maggie and her fate while I should be doing other, more practical things. Seriously, when will volume two be along. I have finished the book and all of the related free material and I’m already suffering from withdrawal! 😳😆
The second book draft is being finalised at the moment, but there is no official release date yet 🙂
This new release is in my holds at the library. Sounds great!
I really enjoyed Veronica’s Carve The Mark series. It was such an interesting ride and I would recommend it to others.
Got a ticket. Thanks for the heads up!
