Blog, Hidden Legacy, Maggie 49 Comments | POST A COMMENT July 1, 2026 by Moderator R

The Graphic Audio dramatized adaptation of Sapphire Flames will be released on August 3, 2026 on Graphic Audio and the usual audio retailers. The full adaptation will also include A Misunderstanding, the short story told from Arabella’s point of view.

As we have accustomed the Horde, we have two exclusive samples to share with you!

Ragnar’s rooftop rescue:

And because I know the Horde’s priorities, here is the habanero stealing scene. That’s what he gets for meddling in fajitas that aren’t his business:

For more Catalina and Alessandro, the official Sapphire Flames page on the Graphic Audio website has another sample featuring the mall fight in Sephora. The adaptation is also available to preorder there.

Graphic Audio are currently running a 60% sale on their series sets, ending July 5, which is a great opportunity for anyone looking to catch up or fill gaps in their Graphic Audio collection.

What About This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me?

I know many of you are eager for news about a possible Graphic Audio adaptation of This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me. There is no official news on that front for now. There is speculation that silence means an automatic no, and that is not the case.

As always, a reminder that Graphic Audio is an independent business. They approach authors and publishers to purchase adaptation rights, and all creative and commercial decisions regarding their productions are ultimately theirs. House Andrews do not commission these audiobooks.

Graphic Audio’s dramatized, full-cast adaptations also do not replace the traditional, single-narrator audiobooks released by House Andrews and their publishers. They are separate editions and listening experiences.

Romancing the Vote Auction

The Romancing the Vote auction has just gone live!

House Andrews have donated a very special item: a private, one-hour online Ask Me Anything with Ilona and Gordon, moderated by Meena Jain.

The winning book club or group of up to ten people will be able to join House Andrews for an exclusive live and unrecorded Zoom conversation about their books, characters, worlds and writing process. The date will be arranged at a mutually convenient time for everyone involved.

Romancing the Vote is a volunteer-run fundraising initiative created by members of the romance writing and reading community to support voting rights and voter-access organizations across the United States.House Andrews have donated an item to support the fundraiser, so follow the link for the full details and to place your bids.

UK Kindle/KOBO Daily Deal

One final piece of news for UK readers: the ebook of This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me is included in today’s Kindle UK Daily Deal and is currently available for £1.99. The offer is for today only, Wednesday, July 1.

Kobo has matched it in accordance with their price match program, so the same deal is available on their website.

Happy listening, bidding and bargaining!

    Alessandro defeated by the hell pepper (aka habanero)! I agree with Catalina, welcome to Texas. 😂😂😂😂

    Thanks, Mod R for all the updates and all things Hidden Legacy.

    Good luck to all who bid at the auction. Why do I have a feeling the special hour with House Andrews is going to get huge bids? 🤔😉😁

    I love how they did Catalina’s voice when she’s using her magic.

    To me, Alessandro’s accent reminded me of Puss ‘n Boots, especially when he started flirting.

    And about GA being a private company who approaches authors… I wonder if they make book selections like they’re in a book club? “OK, let’s open discussion about whether we want to adapt last month’s book. After that, it’s Judy’s turn to select our next book to read.”

    Not complaining! Genuinely wondering if it’s the way I’m hearing it. In the first clip it sounds like Catalina is using a flat affect for such a stressful situation.

    Does anyone else feel that way? Am I just missing hearing it because shes going between her internal voice, regular voice and siren voice?

    Maybe I need a longer clip or am over thinking it. 🙂 Ill check out the clip on their site too.

        also, for those that listen to other GA productions…I’m now imagining a crossover of the hidden legacy world with Ordinary because of the background music. if you know, you know. it’s like when you hear ‘kate’ mouthing off the ‘ Roland ‘ in another fav series on there played by the same voice artists. get an internal Horde giggle when I hear those scenes 😂

    When I checked the auction, the HA session was $150. There was alot of yarn and stuff made from yarn, I kinda wondered if Ilona made anything.

    Author Jessie Mihalik sent an email saying the higher the bid, the more she would include with her stuff.

    She also said she wouldn’t mind getting the skull afghan, which made me laugh when I saw the bid was $800.

    I didn’t place any bids, just checking items that were in the auction,but I might later.

    Hi, unfortunately, my email has only just been delivered which means I completely missed the 1 day sale! I’ve been waiting for a price drop so I can actually afford to read This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me, but it’s now back up at full price. I’m gutted. I’m a long time member of the BDH and have read literally everything else HA has written several times over. I’m struggling to avoid spoilers everywhere.

        Mod R, if they had it I would. Unfortunately, my local library service doesn’t bother anymore. The funding has been so severely cut that they stopped buying new books unless they are part of specific established series. That’s why I’ve been waiting for a deal.

          Many councils offer inter-library loans from other UK library services, sometimes for a fee, so it may be worth asking your local library whether they can request a copy. I am now under the Brighton& Hove authority and just received a physical copy of a research book I needed from Newcastle.

          For discounts, you need to follow Kindle deal alerts, Amazon wish-list notifications, BookBub, eReaderIQ and similar services, which are reliable ways to track price drops.

          Authors do not schedule these discounts, set the price or decide how long Amazon will run them. The newsletter is essentially a third party in this process, we simply shared the deal once it had been selected and made available.

          My library here in South West Wales had a copy, which really shocked me as it’s not their usually book order. I have been told a new librarian does the orders now and I have started to see more of the romantasy genre appearing. I do have a copy of the sprayed edges but opted to request this one as it was a plain edge book (ok it means my special edition is untouched) I would have loved the ebook offer but I live in hope that it may be repeated in time.

    Lovely news, Now, Am I the Only one wanting more Adeline? I swear that is the best Character you’ve written to date, Elias is pretty damn fine too. I’ve read and reviewed this Kingdom. I’ve reread and reread and reread Inheritance. its not that often I like a book this much. Grumble grumble grumble, returning to my lair and sending a raven to Roman maybe we can grumble in unison.

      Information on series and upcoming releases can always be found on the Release Schedule page of the website site https://ilona-andrews.com/release-schedule/

      The Hidden Legacy series is finished for now. The authors are very happy about how they left it. There are ideas for future stories, but nothing is in the work plans as of now.
