An Arcane Hidden Legacy Giveaway

Blog, Hidden Legacy, Nevada Baylor POST A COMMENT by

House Andrews have received their author copies of the Arcane Society Hidden Legacy Special Edition Box, which contains Nevada’s trilogy: Burn for Me, White Hot and Wildfire.

They are stunning hardcovers, with sprayed edges and dust jacket illustrations by the very talented @helena.illustrated. I have it on good authority that Kid 2, a book connoisseur, has immediately nabbed the set for her own enjoyment.

As per tradition, one of you also gets to walk away with the special edition box like a triumphant ferret at the end of a very shiny heist. And the best part (I think), House Andrews’ signature and personalised dedication are available upon winner request!

Giveaway Details

To enter, leave a comment below about something you’re thankful for. Doesn’t have to be a big thing, everyday appreciation is welcome.

This giveaway is open to US readers only. Unfortunately, previous packages we sent internationally were lost and the cost of international shipping is too high at the moment to incur those risks.

Only comments on the blog constitute valid entries.

If you are receiving this post in your email through the Ilona Andrews newsletter, click here to enter. To clarify for everyone who left comments about the link leading to the same page – yes, it is meant to do that. It is specifically for the people who are not reading the article on the website.

The winner will be chosen and announced next Friday, December 5th 2025 with the aid of a random number generator. We will email them at the address provided when they left the winning comment.

Please make sure to use an email you check! If we don’t hear back in a week, a new winner will be chosen. This has unfortunately happened at the most recent giveaway and I’d hate for you to lose out on the goodies.

I’m not entering, but I want to say I am very grateful that I get to hang out with the Horde (and our enthusiastic shenanigans) every day.

Good luck all!

I have a son who married a wonderful woman and they are doing great. I have my finance, who has shown me what true love actually is. I’m so very thankful that I was introduced to The Innkeeper books, which lead to all of the Ilona Andrews world and BDH.

(this isn’t a suck-up comment, just truly grateful for authors such as yourselves)
