Magic Claims Paperback Preorders

"buy my book", Blog, Kate Daniels POST A COMMENT by

Hi everyone, Mod R here.

I promised I would let you know when preorders will be available for the paper format of Magic Claims and I’m a Mod of my word.

Preorder in paperback now at following retailers:

This isn’t an exhaustive list, of course, please check your favourite retailer’s catalogue, like Booktopia if you’re in Australia. The list will soon populate for other international partners, like Wordery.

I can only add one link, so I chose .com, but please select the Amazon country you usually order from, it is available for purchase internationally. As with Magic Tides, if you order through Amazon, some of your copies may ship in advance of publication day, and some only on publication day and get to you with a slight delay. They are still Beta testing the system, please don’t be alarmed if you get your copy early, all is well.

If you are a library or an indie bookstore, or you want to order it from an indie bookstore, you will need the Ingram Sparks ISBN, which is ISBN: 9781641972680.

It should also be available on Libby.

Magic Claims

KATE DANIELS: WILMINGTON YEARS 2

AVAILABLE ON JUNE 13, 2023

A new town, new friends, new challenges…. And a new heart-stopping adventure from #1 New York Times bestselling author, Ilona Andrews. Kate, Curran, and Conlan may have left Atlanta for Wilmington, but the usual magic mayhem has also hitched a ride!

Kate and Curran have just settled into their new home and their ‘low profile,’ when a local businessman approaches them with an offer they can’t refuse. A mysterious evil has spawned in the nearby forest and is holding a defenseless town hostage. The ‘due date’ is rapidly approaching.

It’s exactly the kind of fight the Lennarts can’t resist, not for the prize the town offers, but for the people who will surely die if they ignore it. If they succeed, they’ll be rescuing an entire community and can build a strong new base for their family and the Wilmington Pack. If they fail…well, fail is a four-letter word.

Nothing comes without a price. Now Kate must decide if she has what it takes to pay it.

BOOM! How’s that for a blurb, I can’t wait for you all to read it, it’s one of the most suspenseful Kate adventures yet! You can start with an excerpt here.

My train of thought is more a Roomba of thought today, but a couple of updates from the last time we spoke:

Magic Claims is now longer. So much longer! Almost double the size of Magic Tides. We’re going to eat well in June, Horde. I hope you like magic clams hehe.

Reminder that the audio format will come in a bundle of Magic Tides and Magic Claims, and it will most likely be released at the same time as the book, on June 13th, give or take a couple of weeks in case the unexpected happens.

As of right now, signed copies will be available only during the virtual signing House Andrews are organising for the release, but if you want to order copies with signed bookplates from a brick and mortar bookstore, please let us know.

Speaking of release week: only 26 days away! If there are any release events or things you want to see or ask, comment below and I’ll make one of my trusted lists.

Here are links for the ebook preorder too, just in case. Even if it’s just to check that you’ve already done it. I know I’m not the only one who *needs* to look and tries to reorder books I’ve already bought months ago.

  2. Thanks Mod R! 😊
    Would please let us know when the link is up to pre-order the audiobooks?

  3. I’m one of the fortunate ones who never has to check if I’ve pre-ordered something. Of course, the way I do my budgeting probably has something to do with it, since I keep my checkbook electronically and enter every pre-order as soon as I do it.

    These days, I’m just a bit obsessive about making sure everything is recorded, since I’ve screwed my finances up a couple of times by forgetting to do so.

  4. To paraphrase Bugs Bunny: “Wilmington Beach! And all the clams I can eat!” Yippee! Thanks for the update Mod R!

  7. “please don’t be alarmed if you get your copy early”
    You couldn’t have possibly written that with a straight face.

    • Believe it or not, there were several contact forms sent in from concerned BDH members who got Magic Tides a whole week early, reporting that something may have gone wrong and they’re worried for House Andrews sales!

      You guys are the best and always looking out for the authors 🙂

      • I got mine 3 days early, but I figured it was just because I’m such a very special snowflake. (Emphasis on flake.)

  8. Oooh oooh – I’d love to see a guess who this character is based on AI generated images of the descriptions for some secondary characters. And ooh ooh, as soon as I typed this I realized it would both be a lot of work, and still be in the gray area Ilona’s talked about with regards to usage of AI image generators. Our most excellent Mod R, please feel free to delete this comment if not suitable then. 🙂

  9. To wait for the audio release or to devour the day off…. lets see how long my willpower will last

  10. Hi Mod R,
    Thank you so much for the info!
    I unfortunately must be the one to break the news to you, but overdrive is no more. It passed away in its sleep peacefully on the first of May. We mourn its passing as its successor, Libby is, despite doing its best, not quite meeting our needs. I hope that given time, it can grow into it’s new role as primary audiobook resource for those of us library users who mourn the loss of its sister app.

    • Hopefully someone will come and give us the Libby link for it, I can’t seem to make it work on a US search from Europe 🙂

      Magic Claims still appears on Overdrive, so if the systems communicate, hopefully that will help the right people.

      • On May 1, 2023, the OverDrive app was discontinued. We encourage you to make the switch to Libby, our newer reading app. Libby is made by the same people, with the same goal of connecting you to your library and to your favorite books, audiobooks, and magazines.

        Download Libby at https://www.overdrive.com/apps/libby or visit libbyapp.com to get started.

        • Hi Deborah,

          As I said to Chloe, unfortunately I cannot search from the U.K. on the US Libby catalogue 🙂 it’s not the link to the app that is the problem.
          If you could search and link us here to Magic Claims, it would be very useful, thank you.

          • They also took away the Recommended To Library feature, so while you can still use the Overdrive website, you can’t see books that they don’t own yet. I can confirm that it is showing up in my app, but alas there’s no link for that. Apologies Mod R, but I don’t think you’ll get an Overdrive link until closer to release date or after maybe (as they are sometimes delayed in getting things not on release date). I will try to post one for you when I see it, but someone else will probably beat me to it. 😊

  11. Thanks Mod R! All the clams with lemon! 🤣🤣🤣

    On one level, this sounds like Iron and Magic. Hugh and the Iron Dogs saved the town they’re close to, and now Kate, Curran, and company are saving a town that the magic is trying to claim. 🤔

    However, unlike Hugh, Kate can have a clam bake at the beach. 😎🍽⚔️

  12. WOOOO! MAGIC CLAMS! MAGIC CLAMS! But seriously, just saying, if there were magic clams, what would they do? Chowder of invincibility?

  15. I’d guess it will be available on hoopla, as it seems most of House Andrews’s work is, including Magic Tides. Magic Claims is not currently listed (perhaps hoopla does not list before the publication date?).

    what hoopla is: https://www.hoopladigital.com/

  16. Hi,

    This may have been asked multiple times but will the Wilmington Years be covered by Graphic Arts? I have Kate in multiple formats, but if GA is coming I’d prefer to wait for my audio copy.

    Magic Bites from GA is AMAZING!!! Can’t wait for Luther to show up in the later books.

    • Graphic Audio are adapting the main KD series at the moment 🙂, tackling the 3rd book. The Wilmington Years series will probably have to wait a bit before it’s under discussion.

  19. Went to the UK preorder on Amazon and it says that the book will release 13th June, but will be delivered 5th July 😭

    • So whenever I’m in England and pre order from Amazon UK, it says that to me, too! But I always get my books the day of and sometimes the day before! No clue why they play with our hearts like that.

  20. About Libby:

    You can do a search in the Libby app or on Libbyapp.com on your computer. Both the title and author, i.e. “Magic Claims by Ilona Andrews” should be included in the search.

    When the book shows up as “coming soon” you can select it and add it to your “Notify Me” tag. Once your library acquires the book, Libby should put it on hold for you and then “Notify” you about it. The books, e-book or audio book, don’t show up on the search until very close to the release date.

    (Sharing with BDH even though it could put me further down on the holds list….)

    I too miss the library recommend feature that is now gone, as you could recommend books long before the release date.

  22. Good morning! Thank you so much for the links and updated pre-order info on the paperback copies.

    Question on this piece of the update:
    “As of right now, signed copies will be available only during the virtual signing House Andrews are organising for the release, but if you want to order copies with signed bookplates from a brick and mortar bookstore, please let us know.”
    ————————————–

    Will the virtual signing books be physically signed, or is it a signed bookplate as well?

    Thank you!

  24. I was re-reading the snippet for this book and I began to wonder what the conversations the people of Penderton had that lead them to Kate and Curran. Not to heap too much on the plate of thing to do but I would love to read about that.

  25. Wow great blurb and thanks for the update!

    Roomba of thought. That was great, Mod R!

  32. is it possible to get a signed book plate ? willing to pay or order from store when opens …..

  34. Any word on if there will be a Graphic Audio version of these books? To me, their versions are so much better than the single narrator versions you get from Audible, etc.

    They can use the same artists they’re using for the rest of the Kate books and it would bring a consistency to the narration I would love.

    Also, any word on if/when GA is bringing out “Sweep of the Heart”? I have all of their Innkeeper series to date and would love to see what they do with this story.

    • GA are currently adapting the main KD series, they are tackling the third book 🙂. It’s a bit early to talk about the Wilmington series.
      There are good talks about their adaptation of Sweep of the Heart, but the news isn’t official yet because the contracts haven’t yet been signed 🙂. Guessing it will come soon.

      • Thanks for the update! I understand narrator/voice actor availability and how some works take priority, but, as a usually silent member of the BDH, my ability to wait is often tested by the realities of publishing. 😁

  35. The snippet. My goodness. The SNIPPET!! That is why we are the Book Devouring Hoard.
    I Can’t wait!!!
    Thank you so very much!!!!

  37. While the “Recommended To Library” feature isn’t in Libby, I found out you can to something similar though it’s not nearly as easy as it was in Overdrive.

    If you search for “Magic Claims” and then use the filter to do a “Deep Search”, it will show up and you can Smart Tag it with “Notify me” which will let you know if the library obtains it and also lets the library know of how much interest there is in the title.

    I’ve tagged it in my library and hope more do the same (though, of course, I’ve already pre-ordered it for myself 😍).

  39. Can’t wait for the book! I will admit, I’m not wild for the cover art if it is indeed Kate on the cover. I preferred the art from the earlier books. Still, a longer book than its predecessor, yay!

  40. Glad to know I’m not the only one who has nearly preordered several copies of a highly anticipated book LOL. Besides the intentional overlap of audio and (ebook or print).

    I am very excited and want to say thank you for all the work that must have gone into the project. As a loyal reader I am very grateful. ❤️ Kate, and her entire extended family. Best world ever.

  41. I am super happy about this book being more thicc than the last one. Thank you HA for the soon to be devoured book.

  43. Hi!

    Not sure if I missed something but how do I sign up for the virtual signing? Kate Daniel’s series is my absolute fave so I’m anxiously awaiting a signed copy!
    Thanks!
