Happy New Year, Horde! May we devour the bestest books in peace and happiness!
We started the year in style, with an outpouring of love for our favourite stories in thousands upon thousands of comments from all over the world.
It falls on me to announce the luckiest amongst us: the winner of the ARC list spot for all Ilona Andrews fiction for the year 2025, who is going to get an early manuscript of Maggie and whatever else will be written by House Andrews this year.
Greatest Prize Winner

I love most of the books and series but the book I listen to on repeat and that gets me giddy is Magic Rises. I love the mystery of Curran’s behavior, Kate’s reactions and interactions with Hugh, and the emotional roller coaster of resolution and loss I experience.
I will contact Sher privately with details and arrangements about their prize, from the modr@ilona-andrews.com address on the email they provided with their comment. If we do not hear back from you by Wednesday, January 8th, 2025 at 12:00 pm Central, we will chose a different winner in your place, so please keep an eye on the blog and your inbox.
For the rest of us, the w*it will be hard and our p*tience tried, but maybe…not as tried as we might think.
I know Ilona and Gordon have surprises and even more giveaways in store and they have no intention to stop feeding the beloved Horde with more amazing stories and characters this year.
So in the famous words of the song I totally made up just now:
Chernys do it, nechists do it,
Even educated Koo-kos do it
Let’s do it!
Let’s be chalaaaaaaaaaant!
Is there not a more dignified presence than First Scholar Thek? I’m going to be humming this song all day. The day started icky and now, I’m laughing. Thank you so much.
Chalant we shall be!
Congratulations, Sher!
Congratulations to the lucky winner! and happy new year too all!
Steve!
Happy New Year!! Congratulations to the winner, it’s a great way to start the year.
I love Magic Rises for the same reasons as Sher C, winner of the ARC!
Just wanted to comment that the illustration of the Koo, above, (Scholar Thek?) is brilliant. We’re so lucky to have such talented illustrators working on these books.
I thought the counter for the comments was broken on the intial post for the ARC contest because it had over 3000 when I posted. I guess a LOT of people wanted a chance at Maggie.
Congratulations to the winner.
“Happy New Year, Horde! May we devour the bestest books in peace and happiness!”
I LOVE IT! BEST WISH EVER! HAPPY 2025 FROM A BULGARINA IN SEATTLE!
Glad you had peaceful holidays. I missed the last week’s giveaway – sort of a crazy week. Too late to enter, but my absolute favorite all time is hard to pick. I love the Hidden Legacy books (not like I don’t love all the others), but Sweep of the Blade may be the absolute favorite. I look forward to the next segment of Maud’s story.
I am so excited for Innkeeper. Please more Innkeeper. Even a novella. Anything. I know, I know…barsa. Thank you!
+1
Barsa, barsa
Congrats to Sher and happy new year to all
Ooh Sher Crumbly has it right. Magic Rises is really good, and she describes it very eloquently ( wish I could do that )
Congrats to the winner
When did Rogan goto college? The book said than he went into the military at age 19 and he had been out for four years in burn for me. Did I interpret this wrong and he went to college before enlisting?
Rats! Where is are my Emotional Support Fries?
