Remember how there was one more mysterious This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me Special Edition Ilona mentioned a little while ago? Of course you do, because the Horde has asked about it every day since.
Guess what’s just been revealed on the Midnight Whispers website? Our girl!
And she is a beauty.
The dust jacket, designed by the fabulous C.E. Illo, will feature iridescent gold foiling and spot UV detailing. C.E. Illo has also illustrated the spray edges for the edition.
Duckhymn is responsible for the hardcover case underneath – which is cleverly made to look like the Thieves of the North, the fictional book Maggie gets isekaied into – and will also feature iridescent gold foil. Duckhymn has additionally created the illustrated endpapers and an interior overlay.
How can we get it?
Midnight Whispers subscribers will receive preorder early access on September 2 at 11:00 am ET.
Public access will follow on September 4 at 11:00 am ET. This means that you do not need to be on their waitlist or a subscriber to access it. However, these are limited editions and they can sell out, so please keep that in mind if you are hoping to snag one – particularly a signed copy, which will go very fast.
Cost and shipping?
The Exclusive Edition will cost $39 plus shipping.
Copies are currently estimated to ship in March or April 2027.
I’ll leave you with the Instagram announcement from Midnight Whispers, which features more interior art of Maggie, Reynald and ofc, Sushi. One small caveat that the images released by Midnight Whispers are digital mockups, so the final printed edition may vary slightly in colour, materials, finishes and other production details.
SUSHI GETTING THE MOMENT SHE DESERVES 💅
Tooth Fairy – tired
Fish Fairy – wired 😀
Also congrats on Monday First!
OMG, this is gorgeous
It’s stunning!!!
oooh this is a pretty one!
“A lovely follower…” 😂 aka the Horde
Always the Horde. Everywhere the Horde. In all things, the Horde. 😀
Confused on something. So, the dust jacket will be TKWNKM, and the actual hard cover book will be printed as Thieves of the North? Both are stunningly gorgeous!
Beautiful!!
What a fun special edition!

Just gorgeous! Fabulous work by the artists and designers to really make a great story shine!

Soooooooooooo pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😍💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
That is a SERIOUS shiny!! It absolutely could become a Precious!! But I already have a hard copy (whining piteously). I…I…but…
Let’s see I have the Waterstones, UK deluxe, Owlcrate and Moonlight editions. May as well 😂
I’ve been saving up a bunch of national book tokens for a moment like this- then I found out they only work in the UK, and shipping is double the price of the book. So anyone who gets it, tuck that beauty into bed at night for everyone else who’s too broke to ( aka me ) 🥹
