A lot of people emailed us asking for preorder for BLOOD HEIR, since many of you chose to wait until it’s published and didn’t want to miss it. Here you go.
From award-winning author, Ilona Andrews, an all-new novel set in the New York Times #1 bestselling Kate Daniels World and featuring Julie Lennart-Olsen, Kate and Curran’s ward.
Atlanta was always a dangerous city. Now, as waves of magic and technology compete for supremacy, it’s a place caught in a slow apocalypse, where monsters spawn among the crumbling skyscrapers and supernatural factions struggle for power and survival.
Eight years ago, Julie Lennart left Atlanta to find out who she was. Now she’s back with a new face, a new magic, and a new name—Aurelia Ryder—drawn by the urgent need to protect the family she left behind. An ancient power is stalking her adopted mother, Kate Daniels, an enemy unlike any other, and a string of horrifying murders is its opening gambit.
If Aurelia’s true identity is discovered, those closest to her will die. So her plan is simple: get in, solve the murders, prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled, and get out without being recognized. She expected danger, but she never anticipated that the only man she’d ever loved could threaten everything.
One small misstep could lead to disaster. But for Aurelia, facing disaster is easy; it’s relationships that are hard.

We are dealing with some stuff right now, so the announcement is a bit short. I’m sorry, that’s all I’ve got. I’ll do better in a couple of weeks, hopefully.
Oh awesome! Thank you.
There was a snippet between Kate Daniels and the beginning of this. Will that be included in some form in this release?
If you’re talking about the King of Fire post, it’s the prologue, I believe.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
I agree!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Joy joy joy joy joy joy joy!
This is perfect. Thank you! Hope everything works out.
When things get super greezy my favorite great nephew always says he’s sending stupid love. Consider yourselves greased and loved. Ps camera still in box. Sigh.
Ordered.
Don’t you just love how it says “(Kate Daniels World Book 1)”. He He. Done and ordered.
Ooh, I didn’t even notice that, woohoo!
Awesome! We, the book-gobbling horde, salute you and have eagerly read the snippets, will purchase both the e book and the audible, and thank you for entertaining us during this miserable shut down

Absolutely! ????????
Thank you! I’ll be bookmarking the scene with Julie and Monkey hiding in the Guild bathroom because Julie saw Curran coming out of Barabas’s office, and when Luther busted Julie. 🙂
Just think this all started because Hugh’s and Elara’s book was heavy going during this time. No fuss about that. When the time comes for their book to get back up and running, that’s ok with me (and possibly everyone else). 😀
By the way…it’s preordered! Yay!
I hate to ask, but will there be a physical copy of the book available? I can download it and read it, but I’ve always preferred having a physical copy if at all possible (that’s why I tracked down one of Magic Stars over the course of a week).
If there’s no physical copy planned, I still SUPER appreciate all the work you’re doing on this story, and look forward to whatever format is available!
Yes, of course. But because print edition has to be printed on demand, it’s not possible to preorder it. It will be available on release date.
Thank you ma’am! I just wanted to make sure I could get a physical copy to go with my other books from you! I appreciate the 411!
Wish I could give you a preorder, but I’ll order the hardcopy on release day 🙂
Great!
Awesome news!!!
Yay! Pre-ordered !
Oh my god! I don’t need more than “ the only man she’d ever loved”
Right?!
Done 🙂
Thank you! I look forward to reading it all in one sitting 🙂
Already Pre-ordered.
Yessss! 😀 Take my monies!!
So excited for this story! Pre-ordered and ready.
Pre-ordered! Wishing it’s now Jan 12, 20211

I wasn’t expecting a pre-order up so soon. Yay! Hit the ‘order’ button so hard, I think I bruised my finger. lol.
Wheeeeeee! Thank u! Amazon now!
I one-clicked so fast that my mouse is smoking!
I hope everything is well for you and your family, thank you so much for Ryder, I always wanted Julie or Derek books 🙂 and the phrase “the only man she ever loved” made me so happy!!! Thank you once more!!! (will be patiently waiting for the next Ryder update..)
Many kisses from Greece!!
Although I’m rooting for the other, more mischievous teenager, but I’m also squealing a lot from that phrase “…the only man she ever loved.” Squee!
Yay!! Loving the chapters as they come out now, also glad for print version on release date!!
Thank you!! ????????????
Do what you can when you can but always keep telling us your amazing stories. Be safe. Like all the others I’ll keep an eye on your blog for when you’re ready to entertain us or drive us crazy. You’re really good at both.
> We are dealing with some stuff right now, so the announcement is a bit short.
Long enough to get my interest. Actually, you could have stopped with the post title — you had me at “preorder”.
You and the rest of the BDH. ????

Yup, ‘preorder’ was all it needed to put a dreamy look on my face.
After that I read the blurb and it sounds as amazing as it is in the chapters, especially the last one.
Had to check the Emerald Blaze Countdown after that- looking forward to a sleepless night courtesy of the Baylors….
Good luck with sorting the stuff.
Thank you!
Hope stuff disentangles smoothly and that you all are well, healthy, and sitting in the pool with tasty adult beverages to enjoy. It’s too hot to consider Tex Mex nachos on the patio…. I shall order the hard cover whenever available. I like being able to hold books in my hands.
YES!
Pre-ordered. You write it, I’ll buy it! I’m REALLY enjoying getting to know the adult Julie (and more)!
You guys hang in there!
The link works. What else could anyone ask for? <3
Ordered!
Thank you both so much for writing this book. I have wanted it ever since the Epilogue of Magic Triumphs.
Isolation and the stress of the pandemic has turned my reading solace escape to ash. . . Except for you! Comfort food for the soul.
Fingers crossed for an entire series, but no pressure.
“I’ll do better in a couple weeks” – like we aren’t all rushing to preorder right now, lol. Don’t worry about us. You guys take care of you. We got this ????
Completely agree!!!
Thank you so much for everything you are doing!
Take care!
And done- [puppy-wiggles in joy!]
Hope your stuff gets done and dealt with too (without too many distractions from the clamouring BDH!)
Woohoo!!!!!!!!!
I missed the last few lines of this post. I hope everything works out well for you guys.
Yahoo..thanks!!
Happy dancing around the house. Thank you so much. You have made this whole horrible year a little better for me. Please stay safe and stay sane.
Hi! Not that it would discourage me from buying the book because I’d still want a paper copy, but are chapters that are being posted the same thing as what the book will be? Or will there be more or different things in the book?
Based on the Innkeeper books, and my assumption only, but the books are tweaked a little bit, but for the most part are as per the chapter releases.
I’m not sure how House Andrews manages to gift us such awesome writing pre-editing… their editor must have the cruisiest (and luckiest) job ever!!
Book get smoothed out and if things need clarified, or not needed get edited. Mostly the same as posted but edited. Just example Wing in innkeeper had a spider and it got cut in published format small thing didn’t have anything to do with story. Was reading Kentz at the time and the spider reminded me a dust bunny.
Ilona and Gordon edit and occasionally re-do scenes. The editor’s input is always considered. (Sometimes, the book is longer than expected and must be trimmed. Eek!)
Also, posted story is “G” rated.The book may be a bit steamier – though not always.
The degree to which the editing changes manuscripts vary. Right now I don’t see it changing that much.
Preordered, of course. Will also order the physical copy when it is available. I have a depressing feeling we’ll still be in isolation as 2021 comes shambling around so delightful new reading material will be most welcome.

Preordered. Take care of yourself.
Wonderful!!
Please publish this in paperback for all of us non kindle readers.

I think Ilona said in an earlier reply that paper copies will be printed on demand
Your short is better than many author’s full length epics.
Hope all resolves itself out with minimum irritation and/or frustration.
Whoohoo!!! It sounds awesome! Can’t wait!!
This is awesome. Just got engaged to my sugar woogums of 4 years so I preordered this as my engagement present. Woo
Congratulations! ????
Thank you! 😀
Thanks for the heads up! Preordered. I hope you get some R&R.
Done.
The announcement is fine. Please don’t apologize, everyone is doing the best they can right now and it’s hard. The fact that you are writing this amazing book at a time like this is awesome.
Take care and stay safe
Have a bless day
