Edit to the Edit: Now both editions are sold out.
The Midnight Whispers This Kingdom sale – only the signed edition is sold out. Breathe, Horde! The unsigned copies have just been made live and are available here
A couple of weeks ago, we asked you to tell us your favorite species from the Innkeeper universe for a chance to win a $100 private shopping spree in the Ilona Andrews store (which is otherwise temporarily closed in order to finalize vellum order fulfilment).
The Random Number generator hath spoken: congratulations, Hanne F.!
Droplet the Vaskebjørn has brought you luck and now you’ll be able to shop the merch – including the revived Innkeeper designs, if you so wish. I will email you from the modr@ilona-andrews.com address, so please keep an eye on your inbox and spam folder.
If we don’t hear back from Hanne by Wednesday, September 9, a new winner will be drawn and announced then.
But who *are* the BDH favorites?
Because I know you will ask: yes, I did tally your answers. Well, roughly. Contrary to popular belief about my Transylvanian cryptid nature, I do sometimes sleep.
The Horde was once again extremely chill about things, so we had to paginate comments before the blog crashed. Two clear winners stood out, with only a small gap between them:
Lees and philosophical space chickens, come take an intergalactic bow!
A reminder that the species question was research for Wanderer Chronicles: Out Of Orbit, the farming/cozy sim being developed by Dizzy Hill Studios in the Innkeeper universe.
“You crash land on a planet and end up running an inn. Due to plot reasons, it won’t be a full inn experience. This inn has less powers than Gertrude Hunt, but it will allow you to make specific rooms to attract guests. You will grow crops, harvest timber, mine ore, salvage space wrecks for parts, etc.”
:: Steve, you can stop refreshing Steam. Yes, I do have eyes in the back of my head! I don’t need to look to know what you’re doing. ::
The game is still a long way away. The current estimate is at least two years before early access/beta testing. This is one of the projects we’ll keep updating you on, but it’s not yet a “clear your weekend” situation.
The Ilona Andrews app, on the other hand, is live and you can play with it now. Have fun getting Horde achievements, everyone!
Congratulations to Hanne!
Thank you. Best wishes.
Congrats! Enjoy the personal indulgences 😀
Come through, Hanne!
This is amazing 🙂❤️yay thank you Droplet 🙂
Congratulations!! I feel like the people who win IA giveaways are the luckiest people on earth. They should try their luck at other moments of chance, like trying to grab a handful of Trail mix and only pulling out peanuts and chocolate (or whatever their favorite combo is). They are like a Judicator Jane in real life!
I would definitely play the Lottery that day 😀
Congrats to Hanne and the vaskebjörn!
Happy Friday, Horde… congrats to Hanne 👏🏽
Crying and crashing out rn. The special esition today sold out and I missed it. 😭
It’ll be okay! The unsigned version is still available for preorder!
I didn’t know this, so thank you! Just ran to get one. 😅 Bummed as heck to miss the signed one but very happy to have gotten the book at all.
Just wanted to comment how excited I am… I got one of the Midnight Whispers’ Special Editions and I’m really happy!! Unfortunately the signed copies were sold out (yeah, in 3 minutes!) but I’ll just have to stalk our authors’ events page to get it signed. Good luck everyone!
PS Congrats Hanne!
I tried to get on at 11am to order the Midnight Whispers edition of TKWNKM, and it was already sold out!!!! 🙁
Only the signed edition!
They have an unsigned edition up right now. Gogogogo!
Congratulations, Hanne! Enjoy all the things in your shopping spree. 🎉🥳
Steve, didn’t Mod R tell you to stop? I won’t get the lees and space chickens to distract her. 🤣😁
Ohhhh!, its just the signed edition that is sold out! whew!
Also, did not mean to steal the spotlight with my lament. Grats on the uber-win, Hanne!!
WAIT WHAT! A video game??? In the Innkeepers universe!!!
I AM NOT CHALANT! I MISSED THIS MEMO BUT I AM SO EXCITED AND CAN’T WAIT!!
Beta testers needed? 😀
But also congrats to Hanne which was the point of the blogpost, lol.
Many congrats to Hanne! What fun!
Sat and patiently refreshed the midnight whispers website for ten minutes. Man, it changed from subscription to public on the dot. I happily nabbed a copy. Very excited!
Oooh!! Lees and philosophical space chickens for the win!! Couki and First Scholar Thek are two of my favorite gentlemen from the Innkeeper universe!!
Congratulations to Hanne!! 🎉
Congrats, Hanne!
I was so close to a signed copy, in checkout I had to edit my card and then the screen changed to “sold out”😭 I was so close I smelled it! *shakes fist* So close I tell you!
(I did manage to get an unsigned copy at least!)
Congratulations Hanne!
Congrats to Hanne! In reference to the app, I just love the daily quote!
They have sold out on both special editions. I tried for a signed copy, but as I was waiting in line to checkout they sold out (8:01 am PDT). Grabbed an unsigned copy, but checked at 8:40 and the unsigned was sold out. Luckily, I am getting a signed bookplate with my vellum!!!
Congrats Hanne and everyone have a great Labor Day Weekend!
Congrats to Hanne! I think the rest if the BDH will enjoy your good fortune vicariously because someday this might be us! 😁
And on a side note, thanks again to all involved for the new cool toy (the app.) I have been having a lot of fun giving it a workout….so cool!!!!
And Mod R, I never thought the new app meant you are going away….but I’m still glad you’re not! 🥰💕💕💕
Massive congrats Hanne!! 🤗👏🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
