We interrupt this scheduled broadcast with breaking news.
Text of the Announcement:
This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews
Game of Thrones meets Outlander in This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me
When Maggie wakes up, cold, naked, and filthy in Kair Toren, a city in the kingdom of Rellas, she recognizes it immediately. It’s the world she knows intimately from the pages of an unfinished dark fantasy series she’s been obsessively reading and re-reading while waiting years for the final novel. With no idea how or why she landed in this gritty, violent world, she’s determined to survive until she can figure out how to get home with her only tools – an encyclopedic knowledge of the plot, setting, and the characters’ actions, motivations, and fates: information she can sell to the highest bidder – all while staying under the radar so as not to change the very information she plans to barter.
Soon Maggie discovers another surprising “skill”: she cannot be killed (though many will try.) And as she becomes more attached to the motley band she’s somehow gathered – which includes a former lady’s maid, a deadly assassin, a dangerous soldier, and various outrageous magic creatures – she abandons all thoughts of lying low for her own good. Instead she finds herself trying to save them, and the Kingdom of Rellas from the cataclysmic war she knows is coming.
And then there is a nice paragraph about us and our writing stuff.
To reiterate:
Series title: Maggie the Undying.
Book 1 Title: This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me.
Book 1 Release date: March 31, 2026
Why is this announcement happening now?
Because TOR has learned that the Book Devouring Horde is not to be denied. They were planning to keep the title and release date under wraps until we had the cover, but it was concluded by all that since this book will be presented at London Book Fair next week, BDH will surely find out the details and will blast them all over the internet.
Congratulations, you are mighty!
How dark and gritty is this?
As we are finishing up the edits – page 649 of 808 – actually, not that dark and gritty. The Game of Thrones in the blurb above refers to the epic fantasy nature of the series and the Outlander reference is about the portal nature of the books, where the main character is transported into another world.
There are some tough scenes, but it’s nothing that exceeds our usual. If you’ve read Kate Daniels or Hidden Legacy, you should be fine. There is no on page rape, although sexual assault does happen in this world. The book overall has an uplifting trajectory.
Is this truly a fantasy?
Yes. Knights, assassins, weird magical beasts, swordfights, unhinged mages, the whole thing. This is meant to be a world of epic fantasy tropes.
Is there romance?
Yes. There is a romantic arc, but this is not a romance. This is an epic fantasy. That said, if you are a romance reader, you will likely enjoy this.
Is this one of those stories where it was all a dream and she wakes up and nothing changed and she is back in her own world…
No. I hate the dream thing. Not a dream. We would not put you through an emotional wringer to just then make it not matter.
That’s it. More to come, as our agent likes to say.
PS. Mod R has a fun post which will go out on Monday.
Squueeee
Carpel tunnel surgery yesterday-apologies for typo!
Extra squeeeee!
Carpel tunnel diem?
😂
😝
LOL
You beat me to a squeeee. 🙂
So excited!! Gonna slam that pre-order button so hard 😀
And often. Soooo often. Like I’m-standing-in-front-of-an-elevator-repeatedly-pressing-the-button-even-though-it’s-already-lit-because-maybe-it’ll-come-faster-if-it-knows-how-impatient-I-am-for-it-to-arrive often.
This is the best analogy!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎉🥳😁😀
There’s a word for that.
Elacceleration
So not only is the BDH chalant, we’re also elaccelery? 😁
+1
+1 😀
Yasss! All the pre-buy for the yummy hardcover (?) and audiobook!
Thank you! Even this much is enough to keep me going and finale we have a release date, so excited!!!
*finally
My keyboard was still set on Italian
Do you think Tor would let you share a first chapter snippet now that edits are almost done? *puppy dog eyes*
Snippet sharing will happen as soon as it gets approved by the publisher team! 🥳 (but it’s not approved yet)
Ah, poor publisher team, they have not met The Book Devouring Horde.
He he he. There are always Ripper Cushions.
Yay! And sprayed edges too!
Excited beyond words. I am so happy for you. Congratulations
I can’t wait. When I saw the date I kinda almost cried but then remembered how big the book is and still how much editing you have to do plus your other projects. 😂 I’m just so excited. Thank you for not making it a dream because I detest that. It’s disappointing and I have only come across it a couple of times in my time as a reader but I definitely don’t like it and don’t understand the purpose. Eagerly waiting for the release it sounds amazing. Will there be audible? I want both but I’d be happy with either.
Squeee! Here, take my money!!
Squeeeeeeeeeee! Take my money, too!
Will be pouncing on pre-order as soon as it is possible.
Wow, so fast!! This is so exciting! As always, thanks for all of your hard work!!
I am really excited about this book. I’ve enjoyed all the snipers along the way …and I know I’ll be enthralled.
I do have one comment/request: Please doNOT let this be a dream she wakes up from at the end.
One series that I thought was very good seemed to fall apart in the last chapters with the main character waking up at home after being sick. And nothing changed about her or her life. It was very disappointing.
If you feel the need to delete this I understand. I love being part of the BDH, and don’t mean to be disrespectful.
Absolutely not a dream. I HATE that. No worries.
You mean no Bobby Ewing appearing from the shower type scene?
If it’s a portal fantasy any chance of a cameo from one of our beloved characters? Gaston sounds like he would fit right in
Maggie has no crossover with any of the previous series, it is entirely new and set in a new world 🙂
To be fair, the Bob Newhart this was a dream ending was an all time great
Yup.
It was an “all time great” because it was the first time somebody dared to end a TV series that way. Fortunately, it hasn’t become a TV trope.
I stopped reading a series because it seemed to finish with a reasonably happy ending (after quite a few books, no less) and then years later the author came back and started another book in the series with main char waking up to find reasonably happy ending was a dream. BOOOOOO! So glad HA does not do that.
I know the series you are talking about. I was really upset too because I liked the ending. But I went ahead and read the new book and got sucked in again. Who doesn’t love revisiting “old friends”?
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
I really can’t say 🤐, but I can reinforce that House Andrews have never met a trope they haven’t twisted and tortured hehe. No character of theirs will go through their challenges and remain exactly the same as the status quo.
And that’s why they have earned the descriptor of “titans of fantasy and romance”. Because they are and that’s why the hoard loves them so.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
*noting this down in my calendar*
*prayer circle I survive until 2026*
Me, too. I am 75 so it’s a bit scary.
We’ll just need to keep eating our greens until the release, won’t we? 😉
And then of course, waiting for the second book. There’s much to look forward to!
Me three. I have stage 4 cancer (in remission right now!). But so good news for a goal to stay healthy, I want to know what happened to Maggie since all snippets were so good.
Congrats on edits!
Congratulations on the good news! ❤️
Me too but I just found out a little over a month ago. So I don’t know yet about how the first meds will work.
Me 4- incurable, rare cancer- myelofibrosis. but I firmly believe I can visit IA while they write their future books- heavenly visits of course! 🤣
👏👏👏👏🙌🙌
may the Almighty give you hope, strength and healing.. aameen
Thank you Sandy. At 72, I didn’t know if I was the only “young-at-heart” BDH member out there.
A lot of us seem to be in our 70s. A lot more are other ages, but still….
Another one right here! 75
You can keep going to spite the naysayers! You are BDH! You are strong! The BDH believe in you!
Me too. Slowly wandering into my mid-70s.
I’m with you. I often use dates like this for various beloved series as incentive for all the things I need to do to keep going.
Stress reduction is near the top of my list.
—Living with heart disease since 2001.
I have worked sooooo hard to not release my internal squeal of joy at seeing it on the fan group and then instagram and then here now…..
My coworkers would not understand. Its been a Monday of a Friday today for everyone and this is SUCH A BRIGHT SPOT!
I may have thought about it being too early to put in for that day off…. also i won’t read all of it in one day so…… Future me problems
I’m also THRILLED that they took the BDH detective skills into account and decided to reveal it on their own terms <3
This is being published on my birthday next year….WOOT WOOT WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂💕
I can’t wa*t…I mean, I will, and I will even try to be p*tient, but YAY!!!!!!!!!!! 🎉🥳💕💕💕💕💕
It’s two days after mine. We’ll celebrate together! 😀
Mine,too!! 😁 Yay!!!
It is 3 days before my 75th which I regard as a significant number. I am definitely focusing on healthy living practices to be sure I achieve the release of this in good shape to do a marathon read. Bless you both and Tor for giving all of us something to anticipate and motivate us!
Do you get to go to London? I know travel can be disrupting for your process but I think it would be so cool!
House Andrews won’t be travelling to London this year, unfortunately, but I’m holding hope 🙂
Same here! Same age, and I swear I live healthier so I won’t die before I read all the books HA has coming out. Life couldn’t be so cruel!
this is fab news – congrats to all – you the writers and us the readers!!! Will you tour Canada for the release – we are great ppl!! and you have series fans – especially in Victoria!
I’m so excited for Maggie! It feels like the book I hunted in the 80’s, sitting in the SF/ Fantasy section of the library for hours on a Sunday afternoon. My inner 12 year old is, like, totally jonesing for this.
I’m fighting against revealing any spoilers like Heracles against the Hydra lol, but I can say that it is EXACTLY that book 😁
HA has already put a nod to Eddings in one of their books, so it’s already been established that they are very much simpatico with my past fantasy living teenaged self.
so excited!!! yay!!!! go Maggie!
love it
There aren’t enough exclamation points to convey my excitement! Yay!
I was about to squeeee and then I saw TWENTY-TWENTY-SIX.
ugh
muhaha, we are mighty *evil laughter*
and: “go! go! go! show these last pages who is boss! you can do it!” (but please with enough breaks to stay healthy in all aspects)
🥳🥳🥳
Something to look forward to in 2026.
I love the name very Isekai-ish!!
Do we know when preorder links go live?
It’s not official yet, will share asap! 🙂
Yes, I thought the same when I saw the name! Love it 🤩
Ohhhh this is a great title. I’m really looking forward to reading it!
I squealed at the announcement, then deadpanned at the release date.
Must… wa*t… so… long 😭
Yay!!!!! That’s exciting about the announcement at London Book Fair too.
I love the title. It feels exciting and happy to have something specific to already look forward to in 2026 (other than the typical life things).
Gotta love the BDH! Of course someone would blast it all over the internet. Many thanks for the news! It’s going into my calendar immediately!
The book is being presented next week without a cover ready? Ok, I suppose one doesn’t want to miss the London book fair, cover available or not. Kinda wish I was in the industry so I could attend. Ought to be a blast.
Can’t Wait.
📖
epic fantasy hell yeah!!!! I didn’t actually read the summary I wanna go in completely blind 😀
Yay!! Yay, yay, yay!!! So exciting!! 🎉
Maggie in March 2026!! 🎉
📚📚📚
That’s is a fantastic Friday surprise announcement! I am so looking forward to this!
Thank you for passing this on. I have something to look forward to in 2026, which is always nice.
Taking the perspective from Maggie’s brief appearance Gertrude Hunt, I’ll think “could I ever do this?” while reading.
I like the title. Maybe something we should all chant to ourselves even if we don’t have Maggie’s unique skill.
Maggie is entirely seperate from any HA book. She’s never been to any other stories, even briefly.😁
Maggie has, however, visited the Inn in a fan Frinterview special, so PyeCat is right 🙂 https://ilona-andrews.com/blog/signs-of-life/
I forgot about that! So funny! Thanks, I just reread it and snort laughed again.
So I read this Frinterview again and realized a profound truth.
Maggie is us. Perhaps an idealized us, but us none the less. She is the obsessive BDH member, the fanatical Star Trek fan with the ship maps and each of the James Blish books and knows the names of the episodes by heart (cough my wife cough). She is what all of us wish we could be if we were in that situation. She is the obsessive series rereading Superfan.
Maggie is the exact opposite of Pogo’s “we have met the enemy and he is us”. Because of the awesomeness of HA, “We have met the hero, she is us”
HA made an awesome hero of awesomeness *out of their own fan base*!!
I salute you HA, well done.
Yes, that is exactly right 🙂
Maggie is a wonderful adventure, a mega-world build, but at its core, it’s a love letter to and for fandom!
awwww
love it already! especially that Maggie herself is “undying”, because what does one do or not do when the potential consequences for everyone else are so different?
congratulations!!
I’m so impressed and glad you preserved and wrote the book you wanted to write and sold it to a great publisher.
very happy for you
best wishes on the edits and can’t wait for the pre-order button.
does this mean you are going to London?
No, sadly House Andrews are very busy and will not be travelling. The publishers will announce it at the London event 🙂
also, I just zoomed in to read the last paragraph. 5 million books in print. that’s amazing!
does that include e-books?
Oh my goodness!
Oh my goodness!
Oh my goodness!
This is a bibliophile’s dream come true. 💜
Title release! What a fun birthday present. You shouldn’t have! All kidding aside the title is fantastic. The bits of Maggie we’ve been gifted live rent free in my head.
Im so excited for next year’s release. I’m not even a physical book person but I’ll get on the sprayed edges train and probably buy a copy. Congratulations, House Andrews!
Wow, it’s finalizing! Did you pick the tile or did they?
It was a joint effort, but very close to HA’s initial idea for the title 🙂
Heart laped with joy, then sank, Crap! A year to wait, OH NO! Sigh…I’m 74! Oh well now I have something to look forward to. That preorder button will get pushed as soon as I see it!
Happy (slightly belated) golden birthday to me! I can’t wait to meet Maggie
Cool! Thanks!
Thrilled that there’s a release date. Not thrilled that it’s over a year away! Interesting title- I did get attached t the working title Maggie the Undying. I will survive.
I took ‘Maggie the Undying’ as the series name, like the Innkeeper Chronicles or Kate Daniels. 🙂
I /hope/ Tor makes a ton of special editions and I will have them all, just take all my money now 🤣
Yay!
Many thanks for the heads-up. It will go on my must have / pre-ordered list as soon as I can put it there. (Love the title – Glad you kept the series name!)
It sounds like forever ’til it gets here, but I have felt that way about most of your releases for years. They always show up eventually…
Dancing in happy anticipation!!
THANK YOU BOTH for all your hard work and for allowing us to participate in your journey along the way. You get ALL the love!!
I love the description of Ilona Andrews in the new book.
TOR is lucky to have you.
I look forward to reading your new series.
Best wishes in London.
🎉 Congratulations what an awesome name and can’t wait to see the cover. But, but, 2026 a whole year away. Wow. 😮 this feels like torture of a different kind. How can we push them to bring the date forward? Come on BDH to help me here.
Nope, no pushing. We must remain fluffy! The authors write(and edit and…) as the authors will. Whatever day the book arrives will b a good day. (Hands around brushes to help the Horde maintain optimal fluffiness.) Whatever book/snippets/etc arrive will b accepted gratefully. We want HA to b happy and have lowest possible stress. Fluffy hordes have happy authors. Happy authors produce the best books. This produces fluffy hordes with lots of awesome books to hoard and reread during the trying times between the rare golden hours spent on first reads. It’s ok, not all hordes have learned to protect their authors. But the BDH is ferociously protective of HA. We know where our fur is fluffed.
+1000
( but I still really want to whine about the w@#ting!)
Power of the Horde is mighty! Tor was wise to not keep the title and date undercover from us. I am definitely channeling my inner Darth Vader voice (thank you James Earl Jones).
Yippee, yippee, yippee! Belated birthday gift next year to me! Whoo-hoo!
Congratulations!
Ok, now all that’s out of my system, it’s time to be part of the fluffy branch of the Horde. 😀
The name Maggie the Undying, reminds me of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever. I read a lot of that series 30 years ago.
ahhhhhhh!!!!!! YES! IM SO EXCITED!!!! BDH! BDH! BDH!
TOR still has things to learn about the BDH, it seems. 🙂
Wheeeeeee! Exciting news! Congratulations House Andrews and yay the Horde – we are mighty (and fluffy, and very chalant) 🤣
Woo hootie hoo!!!
How fantastic! All hail the BDH!
Congrats to you all!+
lol great distraction for the missing Hughday! This is the BDH’s version of “SQUIRREL”
Yes. Yes, it is.
I was so excited until I saw the 2026 part. Sigh.
The only time I can think of that the dream thing ever worked was the end of Newhart, but that one was epic.
so excited!!!! I love fantasy! can’t wait to read this
Omg 808 pages!!!! That’s like two books in one book! I’m so excited! And it’s going to have sprayed edges! Yay for my bookshelf!
How exciting! behold the might of the BDH 😂
I’m extra excited at the idea of sprayed edges as I’ve been wanting a “fancy” pretty book for a while, and hadn’t found one that appealed!
Amazing! Congratulations on paring down the editing mountain and thank you for always treating us to such treasure. 🙂
We have a date!!!!! I’m so happy!! Anticipation, oh how sweet it is.
Congrats on your progress. And thanks as always for the amazing care and feeding of the BDH.
We have a date! Happy Dancing in my office!!
oh, that’s very exciting news!
WAHOOO!!! I am a huge fan of Asian comics that have this basic story line (ML dropped into book/game world) so I’m REALLY excited to see HA take! so excited for this! Thanks for the information!
I am so excited for the new series!!!! Yeeeeeeeee!!!!
Thank you!!!! And now for the hardest part…. the wait!!!
brilliant title.
I’ll admit— I wasn’t overly fond of the Maggie story from what I saw. BUT, THIS? ALL OF THIS?? You got me. I am IN! and it times nicely with a new PC game release where 2 readers are thrust into the fantasy/Sci Fi game setting. YOU DID GOOD!!
One question – what does Sprayed Edges mean?? assuming this doesn’t have anything to do with the story??
Books with sprayed edges have the edges of their pages painted or printed with color or patterns.
A Google image search will help you the most 🙂 but https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/booktok-latest-craze-books-sprayed-175130278.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAACnRNkWeV5ZLKwgvUIKsb8hVaICO09dqDD5jm_n68VXHIQ_PClSzWVf84U4ihiuPH1n5Hl69QHS-D_U6r3-sMR1Nd9_gNk5JF35upWIeWb1Ph3HcblT8qJCWwqHIgaWxpLVX7w5uGpmuyGtvrk7OGi28ix-l6oqhT87W25K_tVn0
That is going to make the decision on whether to go with a physical book or ebook version very difficult (although having said that, I have the ebook and physical version of many HA books).
Congratulations, it’s nice to have a publishing date! I am crossing my fingers that there will be an online book birthday party!
Wow.
I am constrained. When I deploy, I have to have the ebook version to read on Kindle. I learned this on my first combat deployment to Iraq in 2009. Hundreds of books in my cargo pocket, with a built in light source for when the C-130 cuts the lights in the cargo area, or we are encamped without light sources. Thus I only buy ebooks.
But now I am conflicted, because sprayed edges…. Nice.
I will always buy ebooks, but for this I will embrace the power of “And”.
WHOA! Way to complicated the placing on my bookshelf!! This is very cool!
Thanks for the answer Mod R. I haven’t purchased a physical adult book in a long time (S Boynton kids books by the thousand? yes) since i’m 100% ebook but this may have changed my mind!
Sprayed edges are a new special edition book trend. They literally take the edge of the book and spray paint an image onto it. They can be anything from simple colors to elaborate scenes etc
Wait, not just painted one color? Wow, and with 800+ pages that’s a lot of area to make a cool picture. I went pretty much all ebook during covid and stayed there, but this I may need to buy because it sounds too awesome not to own. Are there pictures on the top and bottom as well as the sides of the pages?
I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!
Is Maggie a Witcher? If we have Kair Toren we also might visit Kaer Morhen
“In Welsh, “kair” or “caer” (pronounced [kɑːɨr]) means “stronghold,” “fortress,” or “citadel,” and is a common placename element, often written as a prefix, like in “Caernarfon” and “Caerdydd” (Cardiff).”
So no, Maggie is not a Witcher, and Project Red did mine Welsh for their place names, just like we all. Who can blame us? It’s an awesome word.
it was not Project Red that did come up with the name Kaer Morhen but the orginal author/creator of the Witcher Andrzej Sapkowski – the games are based on his books – the firs short story was published in 1986.
sorry for the ranting but I am always so sad when he is not credited for his creation.
Correction noted and fair.
Having read the original novellas in Russian translation 40 years ago, I missed Blood of Elves, because by that point I was in the States and our local library did not carry it. I remember trying to read it later in life and I bounced for whatever reason, so most of my Witcher trivia is game based.
Thank you ❤
I grew up with his books before the games and movies. He himself supposedly gets very irritadet if people make the mistake and attribute the game to be the orginal creation which still happens to him sometimes
Love you and your creations ❤
Kate and Dina and Nevada have gotten me throught some very hard time in my life – and I promise to make a lot of ranting if anyone mixes up anything up in the future if/when you have a big multimedia fiefdom 😁😁😁
is there a link to preorder?
Not yet 🙂, we will share asap!
Thank you so much for the update! It’s exciting to have something positive to look forward to next year. I love how you keep us updated and answer questions, it’s very much appreciated!
excellent. can not wait
also
sprayed edges!
woohoo
Woo Hoo!
Should . . . should we be proud of our mighty power to have titles revealed early? I’m gonna go with “yes.” The Horde is mighty!
And we shall all fluffily and chalantaly await Maggie — who is not dreaming.
It’s now on my calendar and I will not be whining that it’s A YEAR AWAY. Mostly because you’re working on Hugh 2 and I know you guys… something else wonderful will come along.
Happiest of Fridays! I’m looking forward to this as much as all your new book releases.
Great news. And thanks for the explanations of what sprayed edges are.
808! 808! 808! WOOHOOOO!!!!!
Such good news and so needed!
I can hear Ilona or Gordon snarling this in frustration, (possibly more than once) and it becoming the title as a result!!
This is a title that would grab my eyes from across the aisle and teleport to it. It would then proceed to jump into my hand and drag me to the cashier!!
Also, I will have a very hard time ever thinking of the title as anything other than “Maggie”. 🙂
SQUEEEEEE!!!!
Can’t wait for next year already!!
Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An isekai?!?! Sold!!! Take my money !!!
Soooooo looking forward to it!
I can’t wait.
Wait, it’s 2026, I thought 2025
I have to can to wait
:'((((((
I think the news is better than a Hugh Day!
Congrats! Pleased to see it all coming together and am excited to read it!
March 31st, you say? I will need to request that off…
Yaassssssssssssss
WOOHOOO!!! Score for the BDH!! I just wish the release was 2 days earlier- March 29, 2026…my birthday! * HUGE GRIN*
Mine too. There are other members of the Horde with birthdays around then too. We all should celebrate together. 😁🎂🎇🥳⚔️
Awesome 😄
So that big 808 number, would that be the number of pages in Word or equivalent text editor? Because that wouldn’t translate to pages in a finished book necessarily… Meaning the actual book could have more or fewer pages depending on the format chosen… Never mind me, just trying to manage my expectations here 🙈
(But regardless of pages, you’re 80% through! You can do this! Go HA!!!)
Word pages, the manuscript is not finished yet, so it has not been formatted 🙂
Right, so no expectations for the final length, except “lots” – which is probably my favourite number when it comes to good books 😉😉😉
Well, and they still have entire editing passes to do, which sometimes results in chunks of pages being removed. But, since HA is so good to the BDH, they often end up posted here at some point. So I’m looking at it that once it exists, it will inevitably make its way to us. So even if the final book page count is lower, it’s ok.
The BDH attracts the written pages as if by gravity- it’s a natural force that is not well understood, but is inescapable. Or maybe I’ve been watching too much NOVA…
Thanks to HA and Mod. R for their care and feeding of their horde. We’re very excited, and may need a minute…
this does sound amazing, thank you for all that y’all do and give us
Congrats HA. It’s going to be a long wait, but worth it!
My first experience of sprayed edges was Twilight many years ago, in red of course.
Followed by Harry Potter, would you like your “Goblet of Fire” in Hufflepuff yellow, Griffyndor red, Slytherin Green or Ravenclaw blue? We chose blue as it was a pretty purple blue colour….
It looks like they have taken artistry much further these days to beautiful images.
Note for the inexperienced (unless the technology has moved on…). Don’t leave your beautiful sprayed edge books on the bathroom counter. Exposure to water causes bleeding.
Which was sort of appropriate for Twilight… but not for Maggie!
Also sounds as if it would make a great video game.
Cannot wait to read it.
*Whistling type noises (as I cannot whistle)*… opens Calendar app…jots book release on March 31st 2026…closes app
Begins to make plans for Book indulgence…
Huzzah!!! Congratulations! I’m very excited for this and I love the name!
oooh. You’re a titan! Congratulations.
also, YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! now i have a date to count down to.
+1
I’m crazy happy. I mean literally CRAZY happy. Your new book and Hugh days are the best damn news. Thank you.
A whole year? Oh well.
Thank you for the title and release date.
I am so looking forward to this book. I listened to the audible of Iron and Magic these last 4 days while I quilted my mother’s quilt. It is a large scrap quilt and I was enjoying the Hughdays so much I thought I needed to review the first book. It was wonderful just like the first 5 times I read it.
Good luck with finishing the edits.
I’m really looking forward to This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me. I can’t wait to meet Maggie. House Andrews does such a magnificent job of writing fresh characters and fresh worlds. And I’m looking forward to Monday’s post as well. But I would also love more Julie and Kate stories, as well as more Arabella.
The highest of the highs, the lowest of the lows…
Sees release date, March 31st, woohoo! Frantically searches libraries and booksellers for ability to purchase.
Hmm, can’t find it. What is wrong?
Oh, doh! Release date is 2026, not 2025. Must wait until next year.
Happy dance!💃
Nice! Looking forward to it!
Very exciting news!
To agree with PSMH …..SQUEEE!
