Hey everyone, sadly this Giveaway has finished and the winners have been selected and contacted. Thank you for participating, and good luck next time.
Hey everyone,
I’m back, and this time with another exciting giveaway! I have not one, not two, but thirteen Sapphire Flames ARCS I have been given and instructed to send to a few lucky readers.
If you’re feeling lucky, all you have to do to take part in this awesome giveaway is leave a comment on this post that answers this question:
If you could be a part of any house in The Hidden Legacy universe, which House would you be in and what would your power be?
For a really in depth and super helpful breakdown of all the Houses, be sure to check out Wicked Scribes (which by the way, is actually amazing).
This giveaway is open to all readers; 9 copies will be awarded to US residents and 4 copies will go to international readers. Please be sure to tell us what country you are in to be eligible for the international giveaway. Replies to other comments in the thread do not count as entries.
This giveaway will end on Wednesday, May 29th. That gives y’all exactly one week to submit your responses.
On Wednesday I will use a random number generator to select the 13 lucky winners. Like I said, it will be completely random. But to even have a chance of being selected, you have to comment!
Once the thirteen winners have been selected, I will make a post officially closing the giveaway. If your number was drawn, I will personally contact you to give you the good news & retrieve your shipping information.
That’s all you need to know before you enter a chance to win, so on your mark, get set, comment!
Good luck,
Brandi, Artha, and Eugene (the turtle)
house collins , water mage!
House Baylor and I would be able to see past, present and future through visions
House Baylor! The Baylor House appreciates all its members with all its power levels. What could be better than that? ? I would love to be a Pattern Mage, with a specialization in the patterns found in words maybe? ? food for thought.
Thank you for holding this giveaway!
I mean, while I’d love to be part of House Baylor just because it’d be amazing to be related to them, I think I’d love to do illusions, so I’d probably pick to be part of House Montgomery – at least I’d work closely with Nevada and the rest of House Baylor then?
I’d be a member of House Harrison as an Animal mage. Bonding with animals and not being great with humans seems about right for me.
I’m international, in Australia.
House Ade-Afefe because controlling the weather, more specifically precipitation would be really cool.
I’m in the US.
House Lin – Truthseeker Prime! I’m Asian and that sounds like an Asian House (especially the “largest” connotation). All the powers, backing of the government – what’s not to like.
I’m from the USA, and I would 1000000% want to be a member of House Harrison! I love animals (I volunteer as a part-time vet tech!) and I think it would be so cool to have that kind of bond with an animal. If I could pick any power, I would want to be able to warg into an animals mind, Game of Thrones style!
House Harrison as an Animal Mage!
In the US.
House Baylor, I take on people’s talents at touch (for a time, haha kinda like Rogue from Xmen)
I don’t want to be in any of the Houses. I think it would be more fun to be a normal person with no magic, running around chronicling everyone’s abilities for Herald.
House Baylor – invisibility
House Baylor, of course. They are the new kids on the block so they aren’t going to be complacent and laid back. They have secret and no-so secret allies so they aren’t going to be easy to push around. The battles should be epic and I want to be in the middle of the action doing whatever I can to help the good guys win the day.
As far as my power? I don’t care. Anything Ilona and Gordon conceive would be way better than I could ever imagine.
I would love to be House Harrison so I could have an animal like a wolf or a tiger. (I’m in the US.)
If you could be a part of any house in The Hidden Legacy universe, which House would you be in and what would your power be?
I think i’d want to be house Montgomery. Being an illusion mage would be really cool.
US Resident.
“If you could be a part of any house in The Hidden Legacy universe, which House would you be in and what would your power be?”
I would love to be in house Montgomery, the idea of changing your self or your surroundings to what you want it to be sounds really fun and interesting. Though I don’t know how I would feel working for Augustine himself.
House Harrison, but the animals have me trained to do their bidding.
House Montgomery. I want to be a money mage. A mage with the ability to recognize monetary opportunities to help my brother Augustine grow the Montgomery Fortunes.
House Targaryen and I would clearly have the ability to rush character development.
But seriously, I would want to be part of House Baylor (because I’ve always wanted to have sisters I was close to) and I think I’d dig having Grandma Frida’s talent with machines. It feels infinitely useful.
House Sherwood I think. I love green things and it relaxes me to be around them. I am not great at keeping my houseplants alive sadly. Being part of house Sherwood, not only might I be an Herbamagos but I would also get to work with plants and draw happiness from being surrounded by vegetation 🙂
Country: Canada
House Harrison
Animal mage. Bobcats
I would love be a part of House Baylor. I would like my power to be mnemonic, being able to remember everything will be awesome!
I’m international, in the UK. Thanks for the amazing opportunity.
House Collins — magically arrange shelves in the closet.
(What a happy thought indeed!)
House Rogen because he is fiercely loyal and protective of his people
House Harrison – I’ve always have too many animals anyway so animal mage sounds right to me =D
I’m from Finland and can’t wait for this book to be released.
House Baylor and the ability to call where the next shot is coming from
I think I’d like to be part of House Montgomery. I think the power of illusion would definitely make my day happier since I hate all the time it takes to get “ready” to go anywhere. 🙂 I live in Canada
House Baylor! Im with Arabella and would not mind a beast mode 🙂
I would belong to a house that has magisters 🙂
I am in Canada
Oops, I forgot to say what country I’m in. I’m from Florida and that puts me in the US even though a lot of people would like to tell you that Florida is its own special bundle of weird.
House Harrison. I always wanted to be a veterinarian. Being apart of House Harrison would mean I’m good at my job and can help a multitude of animals.
House Baylor, I need to be able to sneak around invisible. I’m in the UK. Thank you!
Oh my God, oh my god, oh my god. Oh my goooood!
I wish I were a member of house Lattimer and i was an Elementalist (air and fire).
I am in Paris, France!!
House Harrison. I work as an RVT and being able to use magic to help them would be my dream come true.
International – Canada
I would be in House Sherwood and definitely a Herbamagos. All you have to do is look at my garden… ^^;; Anything that can grow, does. And if there’s a small spot, I’ll put flowers or herb there. Pots will do, too, in case the beds are full. 🙂
I’m in Germany and squishing my thumbs and toes for a win… I absolutely love the series (and all others, of course… 🙂 ).
It would have to be House Baylor. Their rules are my rules and I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to live with myself in any other House
Also. Being related to the Baylor’s would be awesome. Who wouldn’t want that?
House Harrison, animal mage. I like animals better than people most days…
I think I would like to be a part of House Harrison, an animal magus, but less like his sister and more like his daughter,
House Harrison because i dont understand humans. Animals are so much nicer
I am in USA
Who wouldn’t want to be in House Baylor? They have the most normal family life of any House we know about. =) As far as magic goes, if I could pick anything, I’d probably choose to be telekinetic. It would be SO nice to not have to need the stepstool to reach above the first shelf. Yes, I’m short. lol!!!! =)
Good luck to all and know I’ll be slightly jealous of the winners! =)
100% House Harrison…it would make my current life so much easier 🙂
Hello, I’m from Spain and I would love to be an Animal Mage and be in House Harrison and also help Baylor Investigatigations like Cornelius Harrison ?
House Harrison, ( animal mage) I talk to my dogs all the time, it would be nice if I could understand them back.
House Baylor, Illusionist Prime. (Since illusion is a mental aspect, I’m hoping it would fit in with Baylor so they could give Montgomery a run for the money.)
I live in New Orleans, LA, US.
House Baylor .
House Venanata- I would be able to poison people by touch. 🙂
Has to be House Baylor. Most cool/unpredictable magic. I’m in the USA as well.
I’m sure I’m too late. But HOUSE BAYLOR!!! ???
House Montgomery –I just bet Augustine has a sister or cousin who uses her illusion magic to stay under the radar while doing awesome things that he doesn’t know about because she doesn’t want to go into the family business.
As a magic user who specializes in illusion magic –it would be neat to be a teacher who can then create illusions of what is being taught.
*US reader
House Montgomery, illusion mage. Sounds like so much fun. In the US
House Harrison… the idea of having that sort of animal bond is unbelievably appealing to me.
I am in Canada!
House Pierce because fire, fire! LOL! Thank you for the chance!
House Rogan. It would be so cool to move things.
I would be House Bayler and a Magister Examplaria
House Harrison. Animal Mage but really Elementalist.
House HArrison because I love animals! Although I’d rather be in House Harcourt to manifest and control creatures from other realms. That would be cool.
I’m in the US
House Baylor. Empath.
I’m international, from germany. 🙂
House Montgomery illusion for spying.
House Baylor, animal mage. I live in the US. Thank you for the opportunity!
Denmark here. I think of myself as an herbamagos now except I’m definitely on the lower power scale as I keep killing my plants. So maybe if I actually was a part of House Sherwood I could up my game. 🙂
House Sherwood: it would be good to have my own Farmaceutical/Medical Research Company also I live in Berlin and I could fight against Bayern und Sanofi Aventis 😉
I actually live in Germany, but I am Italian!
House Harrison because of being an animal mage!
I love animals and there are so many things I could ask them since no one suspects animals of being spies XD.
Also international Canada
OMG this is hard. It’s a toss up between House of Montgomery illusions and House Rogan telekinesis.
Thinking about it… what mean combo mmm!
I am from South Africa.
House Harrison, what a wonderful thing to be an animal mage.
I’m going to have to go with House Baylor. They appreciate everyone?also I’m in California??
I would want to be from house Rogan.. Telekinesis, specially the way Mrs Rogan does it, is totally my jam. Also, hello, coins as bullets?? Yes please! I’m from Pakistan, and here’s hoping I win an arc!
House Latimer for me. And my powers would be … kept a secret. 🙂
House harrison for sure! Being able to talk to animals??!! Heck yeah. Lemme sic my army of ferrets on you! Or like… eagles. That would be amazing. Im in Canada!!
House Rogan and be Telekinetic! Moving things with my mind would be so cool.
In Canada over here!
House Baylor as an Elementalist – air/water
New Zealand
House Harrison. Animal Mage sounds just wicked having that bond but also i really want to be an Elementalist too.
Wow! Very hard to choose. I always dream of flying or telekinesis. This year a weather mage (Ade Afife) would be VERY useful (Texas), but an animal mage (Harrison) world be awesome! House Baylor would just be the coolest. I can’t decide. United States.
House Baylor, Truthseeker.
I’m from Egypt.
House Harrison. I hate people sometimes so being an animal mage works for me! Or second choice would be Sherwood, I love plants! (Live in US)
House Harrison or maybe House Lin. USA over here.
House Harrison (animals). I’m in the US and thanks for hosting this giveaway 🙂
I think House Pierce because setting things on fire sounds awesome.
In the United States. (Texas, actually.)
I’m a US resident and I would love to be a member of House Harrison. To be able to better understand and to bond with horses, cats and raptors would be so awesome. I would be an excellent employee for House Baylor with the ability to bond with raptors. Really with any really large bird that could carry cameras equal to an eagle or owl’s eyesight would in essence make me a drone in the field for House Baylor.
House Rogan. Telekinesis! This is my laziness talking today. Lol I’m in USA
My eight cats have informed me, in no uncertain terms, that I would be house Harrison.
I am Canadian.
House Forsberg (Hoppers)- It would be amazing to be able to compress space and jump through to another part of the world…. Shopping in Paris today anyone? Vineyards in Italy? Also, they specialize in preventing corporate espionage and that sounds like interesting work.
I live in Houston, Texas 🙂
House Baylor or Rogan; Either empathic or telekinetic since I like to be lazy at times!
House Sherwood – Herbamagos
(writing from Hungary)
House Harrison. I would like to ask my new rescue dog if she is happy and explain that putting her nose in the trashcan isn’t good for her! I’m in the US
House Rogan definitely, I’d love to be a telekinetic 😀
I’m international, from Poland 🙂
House Baylor, telekinesis. I would love to be able to tidy up the house while seating comfortably on my couch 🙂
This is hard because I want to say House Sherwood since I love plants and all the things they can do but also want to be a badass and throw people around if they threaten my family…I’ll say Sherwood and take lots of self defense classes.
I’m a US resident
House Ade-Afef….an aerokinetic, because of weather….of course! (From Oklahoma, Dad is weatherman, son is studying to be a meteorologist at OU, where I went to school..)
House Montomery – Magister Examplaria
Puzzles are fun and I wish I was more skilled in code breaking
House Harrison. Communicating with all the animals in our world would be a huge benefit. I’m in Canada
House Baylor. I don’t care whether I have any magic I just thrive knowing family has my back. Living large in USA North aka Canada.
I would love to be a member of either House Rogan and be a dragon like Connor and his mother, or House Harrison and be an animal mage
House Rogan for me. Mad Rogan is my favorite character ?
I would be a Metamorphe like Arabella and transform into a beast, because such is my nature. That makes me either House Baylor or House Marcotte in Europe.
I’m in the U.K. , good luck to everyone and thank you Authorlords!
House Rogan. Everything they can do is amazing.
I’m in Washington state.
Oh man, as cool as it would be to manipulate elements or tell when people are lying, I would be an animal mage. I guess that means I’d be in House Harrison or another animal mage House. The Harrison’s are probably my favorite magical family, as they not only have power, but are very down to earth. Plus, it’d be cool to have unlimited petting access to Zeus.
I would like to be in House Sagredo as an Antistasi, able to keep the primes in check. Either that or in House Baylor as an Empath/Siren combo (making people more loving, not making them love me) , able to help mediate and bring some love into the world.
I’m international, from the Netherlands!
Oooo House Vidente. sometimes would be nice to get some info about the future though it would probably backfire
House Ade-Afefe. My garden could use a little rain. (US)
Actually House Harrison could be wonderful contractors for many different Houses with their drone capability. House Harrison could really move up the ‘food chain’ if they properly used and marketed their covert capabilities.
House Harrison because I love animals and would absolutely love to be able to communicate with them better.
House Harrison, I love animals. I’m in the US.
House Harrison. I have always loved animals. I am from the U.S.
House Rogan, being telekinetic would be amazing!I will admit that I would never do housework again.
Live in the USA
House Rogan, Telekinetic. I’m in the US 🙂 Thank you!
I would choose House Sagredo. I am a very private person and would hope to protect myself from being manipulated.
I am from the USA. I am looking forward to reading the latest about the Baylor family, and to see what magic Alessandro & Catalina weave.
House Sherwood–i love the plants, esp the trees
House Lin! I have a difficult time with lies. I would happily seek the truth in all things…good, bad or ugly!
House Sherwood , being an herbamagos would be awesome
Definitely House Harrison. I already pretend to talk to my animals, it would be cool to actually be able to communicate.
Hmmm…. House Baylor. And I’d love to read minds.
House Sherwood. Of all the houses, pharmaceuticals seem like they could do the most global good.
House Ready fan – trusts his people and isn’t afraid of those that may be odd.
In the USA, Wyoming
House Harrison, because animals are more likeable than most humans. Being able to create such a bond would be awesome! Otherwise house Rogan. Telekinesis, hellooo no more cleaning the house!!
I’m from the Netherlands, would love to review Sapphire Flames! ?
I think I’d go House Baylor for truthseeker skills.
This was hard!
I have to go with House Sherwood and plant mage. As a nurse the biomedical uses of plants is fascinating to me.
I like the fact that House Baylor is a mash-up of different talents. Like a true family is and maybe they can stay that way?
Definitely House Harrison. My superpower would be translating whale song. I am in the UK.
Thank you.
I think I would like to be Telepath in house Baylor…house Rogan seems a little to harsh but with Baylor everyone is different.
I am in the UK
House Sherwood. Adore plants
House Rogan— being telekinetic would really help me on a lazy day ?
I’m from CANADA ?? (international)
House Rogan and I would be a dual. Shielder and Elementalist.
Harrison!
Being a veterinary student I have to say house Harrison because making friends with my patients would be awesome! I could ask them to hold still and not have them be scared 🙂 I’m in the US.
Probably House Collins. It would be amazing to be aquakinetic. 🙂
I’m in the USA.
House Montgomery. I would love to be an illusion mage and hide in plain sight. – from MA, USA
House Baylor ! I would love to have access to grandma! Talent would be the truth seeker. US
House Harrison, animal mage.
Animals are my life pretty much and always have been. Being able to communicate with animals would help so much in my work life (vet nurse) and every day life.
I live in New Zealand
Therionologist in house Harrison
House Baylor of course! And i would want to be an elementalist.
I’ve loved the idea of being able to move things with my mind since reading Anne McCaffrey’s Talent series when I was a teen. So I would want to be House Pierce. Perhaps one of Rogan’s relatives had a hidden love child they were unaware of. 😀
Shoot, I hit send too soon. Harrison and negotiating peace treaties with hawks and sparrows
House Harrison because I would love to communicate with animals. I’m from Canada.
I’d love to have plant powers. Trees or flowers I think. So I’d go with House Rio, one of the more stabler plant mage houses (0r so it appears). – in the US
House Tremaine, because in a conflict, I want Victoria Tremaine at my back. I am in Germany. Thank you!
House Baylor. Now that’s a gift that would be useful in my line of work.
House Montgomery, being able to change my look at will like just be fun, plus allow me to get places I wouldn’t normally have access to. I live in Germany
House Harrison because I love animals and would absolutely love to be able to talk with my dogs. I mean, I already talk to them, but to be able to hear their responses would be awesome! I’m in the U.S.
From Ohio. I’d be house Rohan and a teleportation specialist. On my vacation I would Really Travel?
House Sherwood. I’m an avid gardener and if I could make trees grow like Edward in Wildfire, I’d be in heaven.
I would be in House Baylor, and my magic would be Magister Examplaria. US
House Montgomery! I would love to be able to change my appearance anytime!
House Baylor for sure. Being a part of that family would be the best! New York, US
House Rogan, I would love to be telekintic!! I’m so excited to read this book!! I’m in the U.S, thank you for the chance!! You guys are AWESOME as always!!!
House Nightingale, elementalist with control over all 4 elements.
Now, don’t get me wrong – I would love to be part of House Baylor but they don’t have the necessary genes to produce an elementalist strong enough to have 4 elements. They usually have only 2.
And I chose House Nightingale because there isn’t anything known about them so they can be anything I want them to be in my imagination. \^.^/ Also, it would make me a completely new player. So many possibilities. ^.^
I am from the Czech Republic.
Rogan. I’d also like to be able to control autocorrect.
Its a tie for me: Baylor, because their family rocks (but I’d want the mechanical-side of magic); or Harrison, because who wouldn’t want a little posse of ferrets! Thank you for this opportunity! [usa]
I want to say one of the animal mage houses but that creates some attachment issues. So one of the plant mage houses. They seem like a nice comfortable place to be. Not expected to fight.
House Sherwood. I have the blackest thumb ever and I’ve always wanted a huge garden
House Harrison for me. I’d love to have that level of bonding with my pets. I’m in the USA.
It has to be House Harrison. The down side sucks but the ability to adapt different animals traits to fit the circumstances is amazing. Plus cuddles!
I would want to be one of the DNA mages… being able to “see” the fascinating genetic molecules as uniquely identifiable as someone’s nose has great appeal… especially when you could research a database to discover what combination of DNA makes a round vrs pointed nose… not to mention the powers that are Genetically linked…
House Rogan and a telekinetic so I’d never have to make multiple trips to carry on groceries! I’m in the USA
House Tremaine! The smallest and most feared of the three Truthseeker Houses? COUNT ME IN! I want to be feared 😀 I’m from Poland 🙂
I can’t decide between House Rogan or House Harrison. I love animals but being telekinetic would be super awesome!
I took a quiz on another page and turns out I was House Pierce. I do like a nice fire and would love to receive an ARC of Sapphire Flames. I’m in the USA.
I’d love to be part of House Rogan because I think that Telekinesis could be a lot of fun.
Tough call. Telekinesis I’ve always wanted, but I love plants so much.
House Nightingale – Herbemagos, specializing in vining plants.
Here in Texas, USA
House Baylor I would want to be a Siren or Truthseeker with. Minor talent as a Pattern Mage. I’m in the US.
House Montgomery – illusion mage here I come. Entry for the UK. Fingers crossed and thanks for the chance.
House Shaffer, because I love investigations. Texas, United States
House Sherwood! It would be handy to be a medical researcher if you’re a herbamagos.
House Harrison because animals! I would have an attack corgi. -US
I think being an Oneiromancer sounds interesting, which probably means House Vidente. Other powers are cooler, but with more potential for heartbreak – like Aegis.
Baylor poison
I would love to be in House Harrison. I love animals. I live in the US
House Ade-Afefe The ability to manipulate weather to help give rain where needed and decrease flooding in other places. Also I love storms so it would be an amazing power to have.
House Sagredo because I would love to be an Antistasi!
Washington (the State), USA
I’d want to be in House Harrison so I could talk to my dogs. Thanks for doing this giveaway, I love your books!
House Baylor absolutely. They are quirky and being a lie detector would be pretty awesome.
House Ade-Afefe. It would be nice to have a little bit more control of the weather right about now.
I’m in the US.
I’d want to be in House Harrison. I am a huge animal lover so communicating and having animals as my companions always would be amazing. We have 4 large dogs, 2 cats,a fish, and a hamster..so we are already on our way 😉
House Rogan because I want telekinetic abilities! Thank you! Love this series so hard! I’m from Trinidad and Tobago
House Baylor. I would love to know what people think. USA.
Truthseeker or House Pierce. I’m from Germany.
House Baylor, whatever power Leon has as I am totally on his side on taking care of family.
US!
House Harrison! My son loves animals so I’d pick this for him.
House Harrison. My specialty would be talking to and training cats, because their enigmatic personalities are like catnip to me. My cats would venture everywhere, seeming aloof or dozing on a window sill, but really listening to everything and reporting back to me, so I can help keep my House safe.
I am in the USA.
I like the idea of being part of House Baylor as a Magister Exlamplaria.
House Harrison, Therionologist. I think being an animal mage would be pretty awesome.
I would be with House Ade-Afefe – how amazing would it be to control the weather? Good or bad?? That would be fun!
I’m from the UK!
House Forsberg. I’d love to have hopper powers and move around easily!
I live in the US.
House Baylor, Magister Examplaria; I love solving puzzles and finding patterns!
House Harrison. Super useful talent, as demonstrated by the ferrets and badger. And I could talk to my animals. I’m in the US.
House Rogan: telekinetic. In fact, I’d want Connor Rogan to be my dad, lol.

I’d want to be a Prime in House Montgomery because then I’d be able to change into whatever person or creature I want and it would look and feel real.
I’m in the U.S. (Colorado)
House Harrison. Love animals and could totally see myself like Halle Berry in John Wick 3! In the US. Thanks for the chance!!!!
House Marcus (Telekinetic) – because I’m interested in helping follow in Peter Reidinger’s footsteps, and make it to the moon and beyond! I’m in the U.K., and if you haven’t already, read Anne McCaffrey’s Talent series!
House Rohan, I want to me telekinetic!
House Harrison. I would love love love to be an animal mage. Coming at you from the Florida.
House Rogan – power of telekinesis sounds awesome. I live in the US.
House Rogan
BadAss TELEKINESIS
USA
I think House Harrison, small, stays out of the big house kerfuffles and communicating with animals sounds like it would be nice. Not to say that being telekinetic doesn’t sound like a blast but I’m not sure about the related baggage.
House Harrison, animal mage. Being able to communicate with animals would be wonderful. They love you and don’t judge you.
House Baylor. You have a chance at all kinds of magic, and they are more down to earth and connected to the real world.
Howdy from Oklahoma!
I wouldn’t necessarily need to be a part of the House Rogan but I did enjoy reading about his mother’s character and I would like to be from her family line and obviously I would be a strong telekinetic, maybe with a touch of the siren ability so then I suppose i could be Conner and Nevada’s daughter. ? I’m in the USA.
Harrison definitely because communicating with animals would be awesome. I’m in the uk
House Harrison – I would amass an army of terrifying geese and no one would cross me… (from the U.K.)
House Rogan for the win. With a 5 year old, 4 year old, and 1 year old. It’d be great to clean up faster (or from the couch ?) and not stepping on/tripping over what they leave behind on their adventures all the time. Telekinesis please. US
I would be House Baylor, because they always have your back. My power would be metamorphose, but I would be able to morph into any animal. I know that hasn’t been mentioned in the book…. yet ?. Then I could be an intel gatherer for the Baylor House.
(US resident)
House Montgomery. There are days when I would like to be a fly on the wall.
I think House Harrison, because my lab has it in for me and I would like to know why. USA
House Harrison, Animal Mage, but one who can socialize with humans too. I’m from Germany. Thank you very much for the ARC giveaway! ?
My first reaction, well second after I went completely “loca” because this oportunity is freaking awesome! Ok, so my first thought was house Harrison. Because, animals! But then, I started to think(a defect of mine) and got a bit worried about relationships. So, I thought House Baylor would be a better option for me. And what I could be? An Arabelita(said in pure español jaja), I relate to her the most (I still remember younger me jaja) and also I could eat mean people…to protect my family of course!
Ok, I think I talk too much. Sorry.
Barbara from Puerto Rico. Depending on whom you ask. We are international or US jajaja I leave that to you guys.
Gracias!
House Harrison, It would be cool to talk to animals, I would probably speciliaze in marine critters can you imagine getting attacked by crabs, or flattened by a whale? And I’m in the US
House Montgomery because when I get angry I want to create illusions like the black tentacles that Augustine created in Burn for Me. That seems like it would be useful (or not, but really fun).
House Harrison—would really like to get my dogs to listen to me!
USA
House Rogan. I’d love to be telekinetic. I live in Norway.
I would like to be an Animal Mage in House Harrison. I want jaguars, ferrets, and eagles to love me and do my bidding. Now that House Harrison is allied with House Baylor, they are even more powerful than before and can fend off almost all attacks.
I think being part of House Ade-Afefe and having the power to control weather would be neat.
In USA
House Baylor, because I do really want to know when people are lying to me.
I am commenting!! Come on lucky comment! I will have to go with telekinetic, House Rogan! I’m all about moving things with my mind. SO COOL.
I’m not a fan of any of the other houses except Baylor because they are all kind of horrible families. But if I had to pick one, I’d pick House Rogan because the more powerful, the better. And I’d want to be an Aerokinetic because I’d love to be able to fly around! USA!
I would be House Baylor because they have a tight family unit and are so supportive of each other. Not sure about my power.
US
House Baylor. I would like to be like Bernard and be a Magister Examplaria. I look through a lot of documents all the time and the a-ha moments are getting rarer all the time. I’m in the US
i can’t choose between House Harrison and House Sherwood because i love the powers over plant but i would love the contact with animals too because healing animals would be teh best power
i’m from Belgium
thank you for teh giveaway
House Rogan
House Baylor – because I could have a rare and powerful gift with that DNA behind me. I think I’d like to be able to teleport or have telekinesis, but I think seeing ghosts would also be an awesome thing.
House Harrison. I want to negotiate a life long bond with animals. I already share my life with critters, but how amazing would it be to really feel them and their emotions?
I would be in House Sherwood with a specialization in vines and ivies. I live that they can pull down a telephone pole and give you a rash. I’m in the US.
If you know I’m a professional gardener, it’s obvious: House Sherwood: Herbamagos House, or Plant mages
It’s real!
I would want to be part of House Ade-Afefe! I would love to be able to control the weather and get some more sunshine up here! I am from the US.
House Harrison, it would be amazing to communicate with animals, all animals including the spiders (to tell them to leave me alone). I can imagine what puppy walks would be like….Bailey (our shitzu) I think would not shut up, wait maybe not House Harrison. Coming to you from beautiful sunny Victoria, BC Canada!!!
House Baylor – it would be fun to mess with people and be cryptic.
USA – NJ
I would probably be in House Ade-Afefe because I love anything to do with elemental powers and they see to match the best with that. I always wanted to be Storm when I grew up.
House Montgomery: I’d love to be an illusionist. I’m from India. Thank you for the chance of the ARC. I can’t wait for Sapphire Flames!
House Harrison with a connection to honey badgers. Because “honey badger don’t care – honey badger don’t give a . . .”
House Sagredo. I would be an antistasi mage since I’m immune to people’s bullsh*t.
House Harcourt so I can summon a unicorn!!!!! ??. Or Baylor cause they are awesome and the best. Thanks for being the best authors and giving me a window into another world.
House Harrison, I have way to much in common with my cats.
Hi. I know this is a bit repetitive but still I would love to be a member of House Harrison. I would want to be an animal mage and be able to communicate with ALL the animals. Besides my two greyhounds, and one Siamese cross I would definitely want a bonded falcon or owl and a big cat of some type. I’m in Canada if I get picked. 🙂
I would be House Harrison. An animal mage . To be able to connect with animals, wow. I love animals already have a small zoo. I live in Wellington, New Zealand.
House Baylor for sure. Not just because I would want to be a Truthseeker, but because it’s new, and not as jaded as the other houses. They get to chart their own way! And the diversity of the house is phenomenal.
Katharine
House Vidente, as a precog. I think it would be interesting to have (limited) insight into the future, and there’s all kinds of potential for job opportunities and security!
I would chose House Harrison for a few reasons. I love animals and thus to be able to bond with them more deeply would be fun. I also like that I wouldn’t be as much in the cross hairs as I would be with another house that has more power/status. I’d also likely be comfortable in terms of money but not obscenely rich. That sounds nice to me.
I live in the United States.
I would say House Montgomery for the awesome illusion magic to be able to always know what those around me know by simply making them not see me there.
House Lin, I would love to be a truthseeker. Thank you for this opportunity, it’s amazing! And I am from Italy 🙂
House Harrison, for the win! I would love to turn into an animal, helping calm them for transport or medical intervention. Comfortably wealthy sounds good to me, too.
House Harrison:
I have three cats who rule our house.
I’d definitely want to have the ability to be invisible so I guess House Montgomery and illusion mage lol
US reader
House Harrison because they can be as unreasonable in social situations as they want and of course… dość.
Baylor!! I would love to know when someone is lying. When you are family, Baylor House will always have your back no matter what. I wouldn’t mind what Rogan’s mom can do, but if I could pick I would pick Nevada’s powers for sure!
I would love to be a part of house Rohan. I mean come on… But the real reason is becoming a inter kinetic ( sorry if you spelling is off) moving objects with my mind would be amazing. Also working with Rogan would probably be continually exciting!
House Sherwood, plant mage. I would use plants to help save people.
House Etterson because I want to know when poison is being used. I wish those poison detection powers translated to telling when people lie but maybe that’s a power that is to come?
House Montgomery because I think being able to cast that type of high level illusion would be amazing. I especially liked Augustine’s trick with the demon illusion, I think my specialty would definitely be horror related muahaha
House Baylor!!!!! All the way, because they get the bad guys…..and the good guys 🙂
House Harrison. Being an animal mage would be amazing and I could talk to all the animals. I’m in the U.K.
House Harrison. Who wouldn’t?!?! I would love to have a chat with my dog about how the creaking noises in the house won’t kill him and he can relax about it. Who needs power when you have a happy devoted pet?
Oh please, please X 10, 000,000.00 pick me. I never win anything!! Begging aside, I would like to be part of House Rogan. Being able to move heavy objects would come in ever so handy in my garden!! ?
Oh I am from Ireland too… Pick me.. Please, pretty please!!
Sorry I’m not very original, but since my super power is getting cats to love me, it must be House Harrison. Besides, who wouldn’t love to train ferrets? I’m in the US.
If I chose a house that is most like who I really am, then I would probably be a Magister Examplaria like Bernard. I’m pretty good at seeing connections between things. However, if I could be anything, I think I’d be in House Sagredo as an Antistasi. Being somewhat resistant to the mind-based magics seems pretty cool to me.
I’d love to be apart of house Rogan and be telekinetic!!! I’m from the USA. Thank you for the opportunity!
Definitely House Baylor! We have a few different types in my house . I’m a total truth seeker! My hubby is a Magister Examplaria and I have a couple daughters who are pretty much sirens. I’m also pretty sure my son turns into a monster sometimes.
I would love to be House Rogan. I always wanted to move things with my mind.
I would be a Therionologist in House Harrison. I much prefer animals to people. Scotland UK
House montgomery. Illusion/ hide in plain sight. Love the stories.
House Rogan because flinging things around with my mind would be cool!
I’d be House Rogan because he’s a badass! And I would want the power to fly because I get crazy travel sickness 🙂
England
House Harrison of course. Animals are way better than humans.
An aquakinetic house is also a possibility; I have a pretty strong affinity for water.
House Harrison, of course! I could pet and play with all the floofs and understand what they need. US ?
House Sherwood as I’ve always loved plants – I’m just not so great at growing them 🙂
(USA)
I’d be House Sherwood! And I’m in the UK.
I think I would like to be part of House Rogan and be telekinetic. I live in Romania.
House Forberg because I love all things law enforcement and justice! U.S.A here.
House Rogan and for some reason I’d love to be a harmonizer
Whee!! I would prolly go for House Ade-Afefe as I’ve a thing for lightning!
House Rogan – telekinetic powers would be great.
Going to jump on the Harrison boat! Since it’s all pretend, I’m going to ignore the interpersonal problems with people with their house. =)
First impulse would be House Harrison, would love to be able to communicate with my dog, and other animals I run into (I work in a veterinary hospital, not a vet though). Or House Rogan, sometimes you just need to flip some cars or re-enact E.T. I’m in Ireland.
Sherwood
I went to grad school to learn plant magic, but it would be better to use actual magic.
I would like to be part of House Harrison as I love the connection with animals and arcane creatures. One of my favourite passages is when Nevada whips the smirk of Augustine’s face about pressure sensors in the air vents when Cornelius explains he can use ferrets to get the hard drive. Love it. I live in England.
House Rogan – my power would be telekinetic.
Probably House Ade-Afefe because I would love to be able to control the weather… and dance to African drum beats while I’m doing it!
I’d need a sorting hat to tell me! I can never choose, it depends on the day!
USA
House Baylor. Having 3 different magics in 1 house is amazing.
House Rogan – telekinesis seems very helpful and convenient. I could clean from the couch! USA-Marjorie
House Sherwood as a herbamagos because I’m a nurse and would love to delve into biomedical research.
House Rogan
Telekinetic or magister exemplaria
I love the power of the illusion so I’d go with House Montgomery.
I’m going with House Rogan because I’d love to be able to move things with my mind. I’m in the US.
I think I would love to be in house Baylor. Throughout the whole series and every house you meet, it’s all politics and backstabbing for their own gain, but house Baylor are just like “fuck politics, family is our priority” and I would love to be part of that close knit house. USA
I’d want to be an Animal Mage (with a side of Magister Examplaria to spice things up) in House Harrison!
Not sure which house but I really think I’d be an empath. Even though the quiz I took said truth seeker. So maybe in Rynda’s original house?
House Rogan!
I would be in house Rogan with telekinesis powers!
House Harrison – Animal Mage. I love my critters, currently only one munchkin kitty. However, my entire adult life has always included at least one four-footed family member.
United States
I would choose House Harrison. My preferred power would be to assume the form of or control/see through the eyes of animals.
I would like House Baylor as a Metamorfes Prime I would think would be cool.
House Harrison cuz I love all the critters ? thanks for the awesome giveaway!
House Sherwood. I always envied people with “green thumb”.
I would love to be an animal mage. I would most resonate with House Harrison – led by Diana Harrison. Animal Mages. Not as powerful as some houses, but comfortably wealthy. I love animals and would love to be able to communicate with them with words and not just by actions and movement that we do now. Touching, purring, marking territory…. humans are only theorizing. Some of it appears to be truth; but, I would love to find out just what they were thinking. I am sure that I wouldn’t have the lovely 12 inch scar on my hip from a dog bite if only I had to be able to communicate with the dog I thought was a family pet. I am from the United States. More specifically, Arkansas. (By the way, thanks so much for this opportunity.)
I would definitely like to be born into House Harrison and have animal mage abilities, it would be so much fun to be able to connect with animals the way Cornelius and Matilda do. If I could I’d choose to marry into House Rogan but unfortunately Nevada beat me to it and my Connor is off the market LOL.
Thanks so much for holding the giveaway! I’m in the U.K. so it’s an international entry for me.
I would choose House Sagredo, antistasi. I would want to be able to resist others trying to use their magic (or my magic) against me.
House Rogan definitely. As a new mom of a little boy, I can’t tell you how many times I would love to move things with my mind! (Not enough hands to hold a baby and do everything else). Also, I’m an aircraft mechanic, so it would make it easier to reach in hard-to-get places inside engines…
I’m in Texas ❤
House Montgomery, I love to perhaps use illusions as an art form? Transform and create illusions to music? I’m in the USA!
House Sherwood, because I love working with plants and herbs.
I don’t know what house it would be, theres no mention (I don’t think) of a fully Empath house.
But yeah, I’d love to be an Empath. I work with very young children (newborn – about 18 months) mainly and sometimes with kids up to age 5. And I would just LOVE to really know how they’re feeling.
Sometimes you just see them and think “Something is going on in that little head of yours and I don’t know if it’s good or bad.”
I mean, you do start to get a sense of when they’re unhappy but sometimes they’re just so good at hiding it. I’d love to have the ability to just pick up on it.
I would be in House Montgomery as a Magister Examplaria; they seem like they could use a few of those. I’m in the US.
House Rogan. Who wouldn’t want to be able to open the fridge, get a drink/snack and never leave the couch?! Lol. In the USA
I would like to belong to House Baylor as a Breaker.
I would definitely want to be House Baylor because they are building something new, without the toxic relationships of other houses. I would want to be a Summonitor because it sounds amazing to draw creatures from other worlds, and I imagine it would be useful to the house. 🙂
House Ade-Afefe, because I’m fascinated by how the weather systems have been changing around us, and I’d like to be able to do a little to relieve some of the burden of weather-related disasters to the most vulnerable among us. Although I know the house usually has a ‘hands-off’ approach, so I guess I’d be a rebel!
House Baylor so I could be a Magister Examplaria. Pattern solving and code breaking sounds so cool.
House Latimer. I have no idea what their specialty is, but they seem like one of the rare “good” but powerful houses. USA.
US. – House Baylor, truthseeker. I really would like to clean out congress!
House Sherwood! I’d love to be a plant mage. Thank you soooo much for the ARC giveaway! I live in Greece <3
I think I would have to pick House Montgomery, to make myself look anyway I wanted to that day would be cool, and think of all the money I would save on make-up
House Rogan and telekinesis! These books are the absolute best!!!
A very frequent answer but House Harrison. No big conflicts or deadly adventures and the ability toate have a nice panther or wolf as a loyal companion.
Definitely House Rogan.
London, UK
I think being a levitator as part of House Rogan would be pretty cool. Or a Prime level mnemonic (imagine the PhD’s you could get). It’d be like being Sheldon Cooper in the Hidden Legacy World.
House Rogan as a Significant Magister Examplaria working for Castra. I feel he would be a wonderful boss and that my abilities would be used for good, not evil.
Hello! I hella want that ARC please (I am in the US).
I would love to be in house Rogan. I am a small person, so the ability to throw things around bigger than me would be awesome.
House Harrison
I would speak with and for rabbits and other lagomorphs
I’d choose House Lattimer to be a part of. There is hardly much mentioned at all about this house, but the way that Michael Lattimer seemed like a heavyweight in both scenes he was in drew me in. That and the mystery of what isn’t said (yet) about this house intrigues me…
I think i would be a part of House Ade-Afefe. My dad was born in the Aeolian Islands, home in greek mithology of Aeolus the God of winds. I thin it woukd be appropriate to be an aerokinetic or elementalist (air and water)! =)
My country is obviously Italy.
Thank for this fantastic opportunity
House Harrison – I have been told I am a ‘honey badger’
USA
House Baylor because I want Grandma Frida as my grandma.
Magister Examplaria because I am all about the patterns.
Thank you!
House Baylor. I’m a definite truth seeker – I know when I’m being lied to. I’ve been looking forward to Catalina’s story since the release date was announced – my very own birthday present from the Author Lords! I’m in the US.
House Sagredo – I feel like I already specialize in mental defense on a daily basis. 🙂
House Baylor but I think I would be an empath. Or something in the medical field. I love my patients.
I would want to be a part of House Sherwood, because then maybe I could keep my houseplants and garden alive! But, I guess, since I’d be able to do more then that I would like my powers to specialize in growing/breeding new plants to help combat our man-made pollution/Co2 problem. Hm, maybe a plant that eats plastic and breaks it down into it’s original materials. I’m in the US.
House Rogan – go big or go home!
House Baylor, but as a breaker so that I could free people from mental magics. USA
House Collins for me – a Prime Aquakinetic
Greetings from the UK
Now to determine if i would use my powers for good or evil! Most disturbingly, I have already thought of at least two methods by which to dispatch of my enemies wahhawhaha *evil cackling laugh* Might have to be a baddie 😉
House Montgomery. Love the illusion mages, and even though he’s slippery at times, I like Augustine.
“House Harrison – led by Diana Harrison. Animal Mages”.
—First, lead by a woman of power!
—Second animals…Except for those I love/respect I’m off people at the moment. —Third I’d like to be able to fly.
House Rogan; Mnemonic.
House Sherwood. I would love to be able to make anything grow. Also, be able to reduce the number of weeds in my yard by just thinking about it.
I think either House Harrison or House Ade-Afefe… sometimes I find animals are easier than people and controlling weather seems pretty cool! I am in the US and would love to win this!!
Animal mage in the House Harrison. Atlanta , GA
I’m a biochemist so I’d be interested in House Sherwood with the ability to modify plants to generate drugs. Or create new species able to survive in hostile environments. That options are endless!
(US)
House Harrison! I’d be an animal mage with a subspecialty as a Magister Examplaria. I’d use those together to study how animal migration and movement patterns are adapting to climate change.
I’m in the US.
I would like to be part of House Vidente. Precog. Something new. I life in Germany and am originally from the Netherlands. I would love a copy. I like this series
I would definitely be from House Harrison and be an animal mage.
Sometimes I feel like I have whole conversations with my dog. And I am pretty sure that she understands me ^^ Even If I don’t want her to.
I am from Germany.
Thanks for doing this!! I’d choose house Baylor and be a truth seeker. I’m in the US.
House Sherwood, and I’d like to be a herbamagos because I think we will need people who can grow trees, fungi and make nature alive again in the future. I would also grow myself a proper tree house 🙂
I live in Sweden.
USA. House entterson I want to be a poison mage woot
House Rogan – Superhuman Endurance with a touch of time travel. Effective tools for security.
I would be House Rogan with super prime telekinetic powers! I’m from the UK.
Thank you for the chance to win!
I’d love to be an animal mage, but adopted into House Rogan. If nothing else, Rogan will keep you safe or leave a smoking crater of your enemies in revenge.
Oh, please put me in House Rogan as a Master Telekinetic. I’d like to toss around mountains with my mind.
US reader here! I would like to be an animal mage, so House Harrison, but have the ability to magically enhance animals. So for example, I could give a horse wings or a dog the ability to speak.
House Harrison! I’d give Zeus all the good boy pets all the time ?
Please let me join House Baylor, because I hate lying people.
I would definitely be in House Rogan..He’s soo hot! My powers would be to fly!
House Sagredo, Antistasi 🙂 for protection against all the other houses!
House Harrison, because I love animals and that would be so cool to have them as friends.
I live in Missouri.
I’d definitely want to be on House Baylor to be a Truthseeker. I already try do that too much to be anything else. Besides, that’s the others houses can’t compare with so much awesomeness ?
Although I would want to have the powers of House Baylor, I would be more likely to be an animal mage. So House Harrison for me.
I’m in Texas.
Based in the USA. I would like to be a Levitator in House Rogan. I think that the ability to be telekinetic with living beings would be amazing.
USA-House Rogan. Telekinesis sounds fun.
I would love to be a part of House Rogan. Being able to move things with my mind is a very nifty power.
I am an international student currently living in USA.
Thank you for this opportunity.
I have no stomach for combat or manipulation. Empathy is one of my superpowers, so I think it would have to be my magic.
I would love to be a part of House Ade-Afefe. I would be sensitive to Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere and be able to manipulate it, concentrate it and send it into plants or into the Earth or oceans so that Climate Change and Global Warming could be reduced
House Pierce, US
House Montgomery. Illusion seems like it has so many possibilities, but isn’t directly harming someone as a use of their power… Though Venenata seems like it would be useful in the medical field… I’m from Canada…
House Montgomery. Definite Illusion Prime/Significant. – Canada
House Rogan (because I want to be where the action is). Magister Examplaria (because I like patterns).
USA.
Fingers Crossed!
Baylor, obvi. Because they’re AWESOME!
I would love to be part of House Rogan because being part of his army would be pretty cool or be an Elementalist and have control over fire and air. I’m in Ireland.
House Baylor not because of the magical talent which is tremendous and varied, but because of their three rules. Rules to live by and once you are a part of that family they will always have your back. I’m in the US.
House Baylor, I think they’re going to be a healthier house with less backstabbing and more love, and I think I’d like to be a Siren, it’d give me a reason to be so antisocial.
House Harrison as an animal speaker, for sure. So much could be done with some animal helpers, not to mention they make pretty great bodyguards ?
I would love to be a part of House Baylor to hang with the characters we all love, but I would probably be a part of House Harrison since I don’t relate well with people and tend to like animals a lot more.
Can’t wait to read anything and everything y’all write 🙂
Hi! I would definitely love to be a part of House Baylor. And I would loooove to be a truth seeker. I live in USA just in case. Thank you!
House Rogan! I would love to have a badass Uncle!
House Harrison, Animal Mage. The “Beast Master” movies really appealed to me when I was younger. Heck, they still do!
NYC, USA
I’d like to be a part of House Baylor, and I wanna be telekinetic!
Definitely House Harrison for me!
US
I would love to have power over the weather, so I’d like to belong to House Ade-Afefe.
Canada.
House Rogan- I would love to have telekinesis!
Therionologiat/ House Harrison. Like animals….??
Minnesota US
House Collins (aquakinetic), and I’d want my power to be repel water so when my kids want to play outside all the time (even when it’s raining), I wouldn’t end up soaked! I’m based in the US.
House Nightingale, not explained but I’m saying organizational gift. Paperwork is my life already in the US.
House Harrison:
I would like to communicate with animals for a number of reasons. Probably the most pressing reason for me who be why my Yorkie insists on peeing in the house especially after I’ve just gone outside! But secondly, I want to understand how the animals around me feel and what would make them happy.
I’m In Canada
I would love to be Part of House Baylor, Family is very important to me and there bonds are unbreakable. I like Catalinas powers Siren would be cool especially if she got some of the Magister Examplaria as a secondary power.
For the giveaway: House Harrison, animal mage. From the US.
I want to be a Herbamagos in House Sherwood. To help produce medicines to cure diseases would be a great way to use one’s talent.
I’m from the Philippines.
Hello! Because I’m having hyper empathy I’ll probably be from the Charles family! (Of course I will not have made the same mistake has Rynda… and let Connor slip through my fingers.) I’m from France and appreciate that you give us international readers to win an ARC.
House Baylor since truthfulness is important to me.
I think House Baylor for me. Truthseeking is right up my alley. I’m in the U.S.
I’m in the US. I would want to be in House Rogan, but I’d want the textile ability because I’m a bit of a prankster at heart at times, and I would have too much fun toying with people. Plus other entertaining applications.
House Baylor – I’d want to have Leon’s skills.
I would probably want to be in House Baylor, because I’d always know for sure that my house and my family had my back. After all, if you don’t have trust and support, it doesn’t really matter how powerful you are, does it?
As for powers, that’s a tougher question. There seem to be pros and cons to all the powers. I do like Nevada’s truthseeking power and being an animal or plant mage would be awesome. But really, I think an earth-based power would be better suited for me. Are there any earth-based houses that I’m missing? Would House Madero be considered earth-based?
But I’m imagining being able to manipulate dirt (so that plants grow best), find precious metals and gems (because I love jewelry), and make my own Batman-like lair (wherever I wanted to because…well, Batman is cool). I think I’d like that kind of power. 🙂
House Harrison.
Although all the other powers sound really cool, animal mage probably fits my personality best.
I live in the US
Thanks for this opportunity!
I love House Baylor for their all-around awesomeness, but have to go with being an Aquakinetic for House Ade-Afefe. So many potential jobs/hobbies to explore! I’m in the USA, and thank you so much for the giveaway. 🙂
I am clare from N.Ireland.
I would want to be House Collins (Aquakinetic). All living things(some rare exceptions I know) have water in them meaning they could be manipulated, harmed by dehydration or at least stalled in their tracks. Water exists in lots of inanimate objects too, in the air around us, in wood, foods and contained in fabrics, which all means there is always an easily accessible source of water to use as a weapon. In an emergency an Aquakinetic could even use some of the water from their own body as a source. Water is routinely used in high pressure, narrow jets to cut steel and being able to use it in that manner would make an aquakinetic a dangerous foe. That is before you even consider them manipulating large bodies of water like lakes, falling rain or water running beneath our feet in pipes. I could go on with imaginative and gruesome uses of aquakinesis but I will leave it there. I think you can see it would be an amazing power to have and so House Collins would be my choice.
That and Collins as a name is irish and derived from the irish name Cuilein which means darling.
I want to be super cool with my powers, but based on what I do I would most likely be a harmonizer because I spend most of my days creating harmony between my kids (6 boys) and I create harmony on the paper with paints. I live in Texas.
House Etterson; being a Venenata (Prime) would be really cool, not least of all because you can go eat soooo many things – poison shroom? Well, i guess, but *have you tasted it?* And then, of course, the job security as anti-poison control would be top notch too.
I’m from Denmark – thanks for holding the giveaway, and hope you’re feeling of betterness sticks around
Hose Harrington, I’d LOVE an ARC copy….. in the US
I would be a teleporter in the growing house Baylor
From the Netherlands ?
I’m in the USA.
I would like to be in house Harrison. I think an animal mage would be cool. Also house Forsberg as a hopper would be neat.
House Harrison for many reasons, but mainly for the possibility of connecting with a blue tiger-hound! Who wouldn’t want Zeus as a pet?
I’m from the USA btw. Thanks for all you do for us fans and this amazing giveaway!
House Baylor (obvi!). I would be a Breaker.
House Etterson Prime Venenata. I could be really stealthy with revenge on boys who break my friends heart ( little bit of poison to keep them on the loo for a few days straight etc), help make sure that your friends don’t get poisoned, earn lots of money with protection detail. Plus I love Runa so much, I’d totally want to be related to her!
I’m in Oxford, UK ( so looking forward to fainting in front of you both in September! #RARELONDON19 )
I would like to be an Illusionist. House Montgomery, or any other illusionist house. There are so many interesting use for this power, even if it is just Average or Notable.
House Harrison. I would love to be an animal mage! I’m in the USA
House Rogan – I love how the house was built with power and loyalty. I’d be a Telekinetic – since who wouldn’t love to throw things around!
USA. House Montgomery.
This is very difficult because there are so many different possibilities. I love plants but have a black thumb so the power over plants is appealing. I love rain and enjoy watching storms so the idea of being able to control them and to help keep them from harming people also sounds great. I love animals and house Harrison with the ability to know a little about what they think and to be able to direct them sounds wonderful. House Rogan and telekinesis would be amazing and terrifying. I don’t think I would like the many scary abilities of house Baylor Like the ability to detect lies that Nevada has, but I love all the members of house Baylor, especially Grandma. They do have a range of different abilities so I think Baylor but something less stressful like Bernard’s exemplars.
I would be a Geokinetic from House Madero. Geokinetic, because earthbending is the coolest of the elemental powers and House Madero fits the flavor of the power.
I’m in the U.S.
House Harrison.
I love pets and think it would be fun to have my little army break into houses via dryer vents.
I would be in House Baylor as a Magister Exemplaria.
Uhm duh, House Baylor? Kickass house right there! Plus I’ll always have House Rogan at my back lol. I’m from Germany.
House Rogan for sure. I always did want to move objects with my mind!
I would want to be part of House Baylor, for many reasons, but mostly because their powers are a bit different than most and new and interesting!!
House Rogan. US
House Montgomery for me. I’m in the US (Yeah for Texas!)
I’d would love to be a member of House Baylor and I’d like to have Nevada’s power and Leon’s. I hate lying and liars and I do competitive shooting, so those powers are the ones thar speak to me personally.
Also, I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Thank you so much for this opportunity. The waiting for the book is driving me crazy!
I would love to be a member of House Harrison, and an animal mage. I could just ignore all these irritating people and just communicate with animals.
I’d love to be part of House Baylor. Solving mysteries and finding the truth has been my gig for years as a teacher!
I’m in the US (sort of), in FL
House Harrison would love to be an animal mage.
House Harrison – animal speakers
I would be a Truthseeker in House Baylor!
House Baylor, how can you not love being the underdog and rising above!
I think I would be a part of House Sherwood, not only because I love nature but also because I’m fascinated by the research being done on fungi and plants at BioCore. I would have an affinity with flowers 🙂 I live in the US.
House Harrison for sure. Animals have always been on my mind for as far back as I can remember.
Living in the UK.
I don’t have to think about this. It would be House Harrison – how amazing to talk to the animals.
When I was a kid I used to get in the basket with the puppies, kept grasshoppers and spiders. Then in my adult life – I have had horses, cows, dogs, cats, birds of prey (various) and chickens – I loved chickens, they were really fun to have around.
I would choose House Harrison. I would love to be able to communicate with my animals!
House Harrison! I’d love to have furry friends to help me on top-secret missions. 🙂 I’m from the US (Boston!)
OOH. I’ve never won an ARC, so I’m going to hope I win this one!!
As for the House I would like to be in: House Montgomery. Could I be the younger sister of Augustine? I’m getting glimpses that in the end, Augustine is very decent and protective of his younger siblings. And how cool would it be to control your image… and take on the look of someone else? I think I would try to be someone different every day and see how I get treated! But that’s just a perk – in the end, House Montgomery seems to be a powerful house, moral (as can be) – and has a head of household that seems pretty good in my book.
Animal Mage, House Harrison definitely! Love the critters. (US)
House Latimer, the possibilities are intriguing. As for a power, I think Cloaker has a number of possibilities…
A found cousin to House Baylor, from the siren family.
This is harder to answer than I expected it to be!! Obviously I want to say House Baylor because at the core of it, they are still an amazing family amidst the chaos around them.
However, I have to go with my gut and say I’d probably belong to House Harrison as an animal mage. As a young child (and even now) I’ve always had a way with animals.
FUN FACT: I once played a penny whistle to a herd of cows in Ireland and they all came over to listen and wouldn’t leave. To be fair, cows are rather inquisitive, but I like to think I was just the female version of the Pied Piper.
[And we all know what that means 😉 ]
BUT I also find weather fascinating, so….
HOUSE HARRISON
PRIME ANINAL MAGE
(With a smidge Weather Mage ability)
Final Answer 🙂
House Forsberg and Hopper because it’s so cool to be anywhere you want in instant, and hi from Turkey
.House Vidente because seeing the future is so subtly powerful. I live in the US.
I love the Baylors so I would want to be part of House Baylor. I have always wanted the ability to speak every language.
House Sherwood would be for me. Plant mages are awesome. I’m in Illinois
House Baylor, Truthseeker (because they are now obviously lacking one); I think mental powers are the most awesome. The ability to communicate with animals would also be super cool, not only to command them, but also to better understand them. International entry, Switzerland. Thanks for the chance.
I would be a Minor talent, a Projecter: someone able to make others see and feel what I want – but only through the medium of writing (I am actually a writer although not a bestselling one which makes it all the more fun?) and storytelling where I can make people see and feel things vividly. A bigger House with precog abilities, Vidente, is lightly ashamed of me, the black sheep, and are fine with being on opposite sides of Europe with me minding my own little business.
I’m from Denmark ???
(I may have forgotten a few details but hope I got the gist right. I may just reread everything when the next book gets here☺️)
I’d want to be part of House Baylor, not because they’re the main characters of the series, but because of their family dynamics. Most Houses are a lot more formal, cold, and/or mercenary, but Baylor is a family before they are a House. Every member is loved and valued for who they are, rather than what they can bring to the House, which is far more important to me than being rich or powerful. In terms of power, if I could choose any power and it didn’t have to be one that is actually related to the House, I would pick Breaker, because I like the idea of helping others and healing minds. If it has to be a Baylor specific power, then I guess I’d go with Metamorphose.
USA
hmmmm……
House: Rogan – I like the military aspect and since his people are involved in private security and other things that put you in the middle of the action I would enjoy it a lot more.
Power- Telekinetic; Always liked the idea of this power. Even more so now that I’ve had surgery on my feet. If I could have a subset I’d go with the animal ability though that’s not a likely mix lol
I would be in house Baylor with power over the elements/ telekinesis. Duel powers !
Well, sine you asked about houses and not specifically powers, I’d go with House Ade-Afefe. I like how Rogan had to work for their involvement, and a bit more logical and broader picture than most of the back-stabbing, shadowy, indifferent or otherwise generally anxiety-ridden ranks of the others. (USA)
Brasil!! House Baylor, com certeza!!! ???
As much as it’s cool to be a bad-ass battle mage, I’d be House Harrison all the way. As I type this, I’m getting ready to go pick up a litter of bottle baby kittens from the local Humane Society to foster, as my rescue pets nap in various locations near me. I’m also shopping for a hybrid vehicle as my next car. Animal mage it is!
House Rogan but I’m not sure about his relatives. I’m in the U. S.
I would like to be pattern mage in house Baylor, so I could hack and crack for them 🙂
I am from Czech republic
Totally House Harrison. And I would run a daycare center featuring tiny pig and marsupial workers, that no one would ever want to leave.
I am in US!
Herbamagos, so House Sherwood, specializing in edible plants. Maybe with a second power of Harmonizer 🙂 USA
House Harrison. You had me at badgers. (US)
I think I would want to be in house Baylor. Throughout the whole series all the houses you meet care only about politics and backstabbing for their own personal gain. Whereas house Baylor is like “fuck politics, family is our priority” and I would love to be part of that close knit house. USA
House Baylor, no special power but for the family closeness, a wonderful thing to be able to count on.
House Rogan all the way!!! Telekinetics for the win!
But really, mind-power-ness to augment my scrawny shortness would be awesome – no more asking people to get things down for me.. no more using slippy mats to drag heavy furniture whilst redecorating… … although of course I would also use my powers for good *)
Based in Canada!
House Rogan. Power is cool.
Ade-Afefe
Duh – I want to dance in the wind and control the weather. What could possibly be cooler than that?
I am amazed by bussines and background of House Sherwood. But I would like to be an Animal Mages. Their powers are awsome.
( The Czech Republic)
I think I would like to be part of House Rogan. Not only because telekinesis would be an awesome power to have (I hope I’d be telekinetic), but because it would be good to have Connor as an ally.
USA, Thanks!
House Harrison – Therionologist. I absolutely love the weaving of mythology and folklore into this series and literally got chills in the scene with Cornelius where he unleashes the rats and we discover the original family surname is Hamelin.
I’m most likely from House Sherwood (I have an unhealthy love for cacti and succulents).
Living in Israel. 🙂
House Harrison, animal speaker for me. Subspecialty marine life. I’m in Arizona.
Hello, I would be part of House Harrison and be an animal mage! I’d love to have a couple panther companions and maybe an owl or fox too!!
Illusionist, House Montgomery because who wouldn’t love not to have to do their “face” in the morning or be able to hide their expressions or feelings when cross or pissed off??? And maybe even be invisible! UK
House Collins, Aquakinetic, looks good to me. As a Dutch I really feel an affinity for water. If of a lower degree, watering plants would be an idea, and if of a higher level, organizing water for all kinds of purposes and deflecting floods etc. looks good too!
As said, I am Dutch but I live in Sweden now.
USA, former military so obviously Rogan’s minion. Telekinesis would be awesome!!
House Ade-Afefe… you can control the weather. The question is, do you?
I think I would want to be in house Baylor. Throughout the whole series all the houses you meet care only about politics and backstabbing for their own personal gain. Whereas house Baylor is like “fuck politics, family is our priority” and I would love to be part of that close knit house.
Dropping buildings like it’s no big deal sounds awfully cathartic. Sign me in immediately. House Rogan.
France 🙂
House Harrison I would love to talk to animals.
Magister exemplaria in house Baylor. Love puzzle solving and logic. USA
Hmmm… I would pick House Sherwood. I would love to be able to grow herbs and plants and use them to help people and animals.
Thanks for the Giveaway!
Danielle in Texas
(USA)
I’m from Norway, and I’d like to be a swarmer, I think. There are so many talents to choose from, but that’s the one I -think- I could find most use for without creeping myself or those around me out. I though about telepath, but that one ends in the creepy-category. 😛 I think House Montgomery would be exciting!
USA
Definitely House Harrison. Animal mage would be fabulous, plus we are a family of Autism and some of the traits related to the members of that house seem very similar to the people I love now. ❤️
I honestly think I would go with the mnemonic ability. It might be a boring choice, but honestly, I’m a perpetual student – I love learning new things – and the idea of perfect recall is kind of hard to resist. However, I can understand the other side of it, in that, I’d never be able to forget things I had seen or heard, especially anything embarrassing. I’m one of those types of people who definitely feels second-hand embarrassment.
I would love to be an animal mage in House Harrison.
I have to say House harrison, the connection to the animals would be wonderful as i find animals soothing to be around and deal with as opposed to interacting with people.
Canada – House Rogan, Teleporter. I think teleportation is infinitely useful and you can supplement it with so many other skills.
House Baylor (duh!) and I’d like to be an animal mage. I am in the US, but would move somewhere to start an animal sanctuary:-)
Probably House Forsberg. I’ve always wanted to teleport! Even if it’s only a short distance.
House Harrison! Then I’d get to express my love to all the fluffy things!
House Sherwood
Plant mage, it would be nice ability to grow garden veggies.
USA
House Baylor – Animal Mage & Telepath (Canada)
House Sherwood… my orchids demand that answer!
I would fit right in House Harrison as an animal mage. My family and friends already accuse me of having a magical bond with animals. I’m in the US.
House Montgomery and an illusionist 🙂
House- House Baylor because they have integrity, don’t back down from anything and help others instead of being a bulling house.
Power-Enhancer, the ability to bolster anything I choose such as my strength or intelligence, someone else’s powers or even emotions.
I would choose House Baylor as a Truthseeker. The ability to sense lies would be amazing as well as all of Nevada’s other abilities. Canada. Thank you for this amazing chance.
This was so hard! To know the truth would be awesome, but to work with and love and be loved as an animal mage, well you’d never be lonely. But, I think that I would have to part of House Ade-Afefe. To be able to bring water to lands with drought and call up storms or disperse them must be incredible! I wonder if I could use the wind to fly? It sounds like the most amazing power, with the least side effects! USA ready who loves this series and hates to see Nevada and Mad Rogan on the sidelines!
House Baylor as a Magister Examplaria. I love solving puzzles and really identify with House Baylor’s ethics, empathy, and need for self-respect (able to meet my eyes in the mirror at the end of the day).
Hi! I would love to be a part of House Baylor because that family is awesome. Maybe as a Siren Prime.
I live in Norway.
Rogan, telekinetic prim.
House Harrison, animal mage – animals are easier to understand than humans, and if you understand the behaviors of a species you can alter the behavior patterns of a specific animal without going against instinct. I definitely bond more easily with animals. I’m in the US
House Harrison all the way – so I could knock over my trashcans and have THEM clean up the mess for a change
US. House Sagredo–because I would like to be able to protect my mind.
House Baylor of course! Never a dull moment. Human lie detector or be able to identify disease and illness in the body.
The truth shall set you free. I would like to be part of House Baylor as an Elenchus. Some lies are a kindness, but if you have ever lived with lies that are hurtful, the truth becomes very important.
House Harrison please ? And of course the ability to communicate with all living creatures.
I would like to be in House Duncan. Imagine Linus Duncan as a grandfather….i would choose to have the same ability the records keeper has…
This is a LOT harder than I thought it would be. Initial response was House Harrison, Animal Mage, but then they have problems bonding outside of their animals. And I already have enough of a lack of people skills. (Granted, if I was bonded to my pets, it wouldn’t matter the people skills.)
Benefit includes being allied to House Baylor, of course. Plus fun animals. And random adventures. And being underestimated by everyone.
Hi there from lovely San Francisco. I would be a Prime Teleport in House Forsberg. I love the idea of being able to port around (like in Jumper, one of my favorite books!), and honestly that House needs some new leadership. 🙂
After alot of thought, and torture, I thought Baylor then Rogan, but finally landed on House Harrison. I love animals and would love the connection they have with their animals. Can’t wait for the book to come out. – USA
House Harrison! I’m a registered veterinary nurse so its a no-brainer!
Magister exemplaria in house Baylor. It would be awesome. 🙂
Hungary
I would be in house Harrison. I love animals of all kinds and to be able to connect to them would be wonderful.
If it were up to me, I’d be a Prime in House Harrison. People underestimate them which makes them safe yet deadly. I don’t think I could handle Rogan or Nevada’s crazy lives ??♀️
(sorry I responded to the wrong comment up thread. I forgot Cornelius’s House name and scrolled up)
House Harrison of course 🙂 Wild animals have followed me home and tried to be my friends since I was little. Ducks, geese, rabbits, deer, turkeys, and peafowl are just a few of the animals that have followed me home. And of course I have dogs and cats 🙂 I had a dog bring a 20lb bag of dog food with it when it decided to live with us, her real owners decided to let us keep her since she kept coming back. I also used to rescue drowning bees, wasps. and spiders as a child and was never stung or bitten. My cats greet me at the door when I get home from work and insist on cuddles even though there are other people there. I get along with and understand animals much better than people though. I am told I am completely tactless, but very nice…
House Harrison… I already spend an unhealthy amount of time talking to my animals so knowing what they are saying thinking (and stopping the one pupper from eating more socks) would be SUPER helpful!!!
CANADA!
House Montgomery because being a PI would be awesome and having illusions to change my looks to match my mood would be a dream! NJ girl here.
House Montgomery because I’d love to create beautiful illusions … Or just changing the color of my hair every hour xD (And I would totally tease Augustine with illusions of huge creepy pancakes xD)
Lea from France =D
Well, I would love to join House Harrison and become an illusionist. To be able to have an incredible poker face and even be invisible (that would be so cool). House Harrison for the win ?
I’m from Denmark
House Pierce. I’d love to be a firebug! I live in Brazil.
I think I’d be a houseless empath-harmonizer in search of her heritage as I couldn’t quite find a house to go with these powers.
House Rogan, prime, because I always have too much to do and not enough hands to do them. So doing them mentally would be an enormous help. USA
USA – Unfortunately, House Pierce lines up with my background best and I love fire, so pyrokentic all the way. My B.S. is in Materials Science and Engineering and I’d love to know what the bachelor of arcane science in MSE (like Adam Pierce had) would entail. However, from a personality stand point, I would want nothing to do with House Pierce.
Herbamagos in House Harrison, because so I would have the needed (family) contacts to not only save endangerd plants but also animals to build up healthy ecosystems. Wouldn’t make sense to plant e.g. herbs and blooming plants without bees.
Germany.
House Rogan because TK is a power i always wanted to have!
Greece here.
I’d love to say House Baylor but I’m not sure they’re hiring. So, House Montgomery because I’m an IT nerd and would be into the background checks and digging up random stuff on people.
USA
House Rogan. Telekinesis. As most women, I would love the power to lift and move all the road blocks that stand in my way.! USA
Probably House Pierce – I’m inordinately fond of fire. I’m outside of Chicago, IL.
House Montgomery, I think being a cloaker would be fun. Although I think whatever house Latimer ends up being, is going to be great.
I would choose House Harrison. I have always had a passion for animals and am lucky to have a career working in the animal health industry.
(From Toronto, Canada)
Either House Baylor, because ethics and because their magic is a freaking grab bag and they are cool with that. Or Harrison, because animals.
I would be part of House Ade-Afefe. I always loved Storm from X-men, so even before reading these books, I wanted to have the weather mage skillset.
I would want to be house Rogan because I think being Telekinetic would be awesome. I’m in the USA.
Because I would love to change my appearance at will, I would favor House Montgomery. Can you imagine not having to ever put on makeup again? #DreamLife
Florida
I would be a Hopper with a minor Aerokinetic ability that enables me to ‘hop’ with a pocket of air so I could go to space (briefly) or underwater at will.
House Harrison definately, as an animal mage! I just love critters of all sorts, and I would be really fine with not being in a very powerful house as long as I have my good friends in the incredible decent House Baylor!
Thanks for hours of good reading!
Mia, Denmark
House Ade-Afefe. I would love to control the weather. Specifically, wind… to create beautiful cloud patterns and sunsets, to blow away or bring clouds and rain, but also to create or destroy tornadoes, bring heat waves on warm winds and create rain in dry regions. I’m in Nanaimo, Canada, so we are more wet than cold, but it would nice to be able to bring a sunny day during winter once and a while.
I’d be a member of House Baylor, and I’d be a Magister Examplaria!
Can’t wait for Sapphire Flames!
Love your books!
100% House Harrison so I can play with all the animals! I’m in the US.
For me, it’s a toss up between wanting to belong to (1) House Harrison (animal mages), because, hey, animals! and it’s a house that, for the most part, doesn’t get involved in altercations with other houses and (2) House Collins (aquakinetics), because water is life (and I’m a Pisces). 😀
I live in the US.
I’ve already pre-ordered this, but would love to not have to wait that long to read it!
A Telekinetic of House Rogan or House Marcus. I’m 6 months pregnant and no one will let me lift/carry anything. Telekinesis would sure come in handy right now.
(USA Resident)
I’d love to be able to make changes on a molecular level. Perhaps this would be some form of an Elementalist?
I think Michael Latimer is very cool and would like to be in his house. I’m not sure if my power would fit there but what the heck 🙂
I live in the U.S.
I would want to be a part of House Baylor. First, I love the family aspect; family is everything to me. Second, I never do anything the “normal” way in my life. I always take my own path and do things out of order. So I think I would fit right in with House Baylor, because they have such different powers, they do things their own way, and they work as a family unit while sticking to their morals. I respect that and strive to do that in my everyday life. I think I would be a swarmer because I’d have to be different than everyone else in the house, but I would love to be able to process all that knowledge to help my family. Also, I really enjoy learning, and you have so much more time to learn when you can multitask like a swarmer! I’d hope Bug would share whatever calms him down though.
If I couldn’t fit in as a Baylor, my backup choice would be House Sherwood. I love making things grow and plants make me happy. I also enjoy helping people and I’m a science teacher, so having a chance to use plants in medicinal ways and further that research would be a great life purpose. I think I would make a pretty stellar herbamagos!
House Baylor 🙂 everything for the family!
Germany
I would definitely want to be in House Baylor. I would be an illusionist – they don’t have that and I would want to complement the existing powers and help in the pi business!
I would love to join House Harrison and be an animal mage, a therionologist. Being able to communicate effectively with animals would be my idea of heaven.
House Harrison because I love animals and would love to be closer to them. USA.
Ohh DEFINITELY House Ade-Afefe so I could manipulate the wind and weather and fly (ish)
Oops – forget my house: House Harrison because I want to talk to animals!
USA – House Ade-Afefe as a aerokinetic! I like being dramatic with a bunch of wind blowing around me 🙂
I would be a member of House Ade-Afefe as a Significant Elemental working to prevent climate change disasters before they can affect populated areas of the earth. (If we’re wishing, might as well go big!)
House Harrison and I’d be a Therionologist. Already often prefer the company of animals to people and think would be very useful.
Tough choice, but I’ll take House Sherwood and specialize in flowering plants. I can grow food and medicinals and pretty flowers, and there will be butterflies and hummingbirds everywhere.
USA
House Montgomery or Rogan if they would employ a cloaker I want to be able to go invisible.
House Harrison, of course!!! All that floofy love!!! It isn’t hard for me to imagine living in a house full of creatures – in fact, I can not imagine living any other way.
I would want my power to be about healing or helping, tho it would kill me to see injured and sick animals, so…maybe…to be honest…I should probably have combat power, working with a silent-but-deadly (yet still snuggly) pack of jungle cats. Tigers FTW!!!
House Harrison…but dual with the major being Aerokinetic (so I can fly!) and a minor in animal mage. USA
House Baylor – Truthseeker! Be very useful with three kids…..
I would like to be a Notable Elementalist for House Ade-Afefe. I don’t want to be Significant or Prime, but a Notable Elementalist is someone to be weary of overall.
Thank you for giving us this exciting opportunity!
As someone that has always loved growing plants/herbs/flowers/trees you name it, I would love to be a Nightingale Herbamagous. I don’t need to be super rich or flashy. Just knowing that what I grow could help people and other animals would be wonderful. Also, I would know how to poison the dastardly…
House Harrison. My dream is to one day perform a heist with some ferrets.
Not sure which house, but either a teleporter or an elementalist(water and earth). It would be nice to travel the world at will. Or be able to control two elements.
U.S.A. (Tennessee)
House Montgomery
I was raised by a secret service agent. Cryptology powers to look into conspiracies… totally makes me House Montgomery..
I would like to be a weather mage from House Ade-Afefe, so I could call on the rain that we do need.
I am from Spain, Europe.
House Montgomery – it’d be really cool to use illusions to go undercover or work as a spy.
I’d be a member of House Forsberg and would be a hopper. USA
Sadly I feel like there isn’t enough information about all the houses out there. Montgomery would be fun just to have the illusion ability but I think I’d like to have abilities like Rynda Charles and be able to sooth crowds or my own children.
USA
House Harrison! As an animal lover, this power has been one of my favorite. One of my favorite parts of the series is when the small animals are sent through the laundry vents and Rogan and Augustine start calling their people to deal with the new security threat.
I would be in House Montgomery and be a Magister Examplaria.
I feel like Augustine takes really good care of his family and that would be an asset
America. House Rogan because they take good care of their employees. My power would be telekinesis
I would love to be in House Harrison because I relate to animals so much more easily than people. There are days when the only living creatures I talk to are my two dogs.
House Baylor. I would be an animal mage. Love it.
I live in Australia
House Harrison! I want to play with animals. also it combines the best of two words; this one and Kate Daniels’ world! also if I could control them, I’d also teach them how to brush themselves i.e. the cats because I’m so tired of vacuuming up cat hair, haha. thanks so much for the chance! I’m an international reader. x
I would have to choose House Harrison because I would love to work with animals. I would love to especially interact with some of the arcane realm creatures.
For sheer powers alone, House Harrison. Amassing animal friends seems wonderful. I’m in the US.
If I could be in any house I would be in House Harrison as a Therionologist. I love Cornelius and think that we share similar traits of not always being able to connect to humans but always finding a friend in an animal. I’m in the USA! Thank you!
I’d want to be in House Rogan, but on a smaller scale. I wouldn’t need the power to level a city perhaps. 😉
House Rogan. I so could love to use tk. Being a mom this would be helpful. Plus I’d love to work for his security team. I’m all about taking care of people. and keeping people safe sounds great.
USA
House Harrison, that way I could legitimately have as many dogs and cats(large and small) as I wanted and not be labeled an animal hoarder. (US Resident)
House Harrison because …c’mon… ferret badgers! (Canada here!)
House Harrison. I love animals but also have severe allergies to them. Would make for some great irony. I’m in the USA
House Rogan or House Ade-Afefe
United States so not international giveaway
Thanks!
I would want to be House Baylor because they have a variety of powers and I want to be a member of their family. I live in the US.
Therionologist of House Harrison … I am a wildlife photographer, so the ability to command animals would be really, really useful. In real life, they just don’t listen at all when I ask them to do something! ;O)
House Harrison – the most socially awkward house is where I belong, lol.
After reading Diamond Fire, House Etterson all the way. I love the thought of knowing everything about poisons and be able to neutralize them, so I would want to be a Magus Venenata.
I would want to be part of House Baylor. And my superpower would be Nevada’s shooting skills combined with Catalina’s Siren ability.
House Rogan telekinesis, I am always running late so being able to do multiple things at once would be incredibly useful to me. USA
House Harrison. I would love to be an animal mage and connect with all animals.
I love this series!
I would definitely be a part of House Harrison. The idea of communicating with animals has always appealed to me. Plus, I would love to just chill with some panthers!
(USA)
Hi, I would love to be in House Rogan, a telekinetic mixed with aquakinetic.
Im from Slovakia
Thank you ???????
I would choose House Harrison. Money has never meant a lot to me, only to have enough for comfort, and being able to communicate with Animals feels like an extension of a talent I already have.
USA – I’d like to be a part of House Sherwood as an herbmagos. I love plants and I’ve always loved to help them grow, but my tragic destiny seems to just be killing them. Plus, I’m a scientist, so this would be a perfect fit for me 🙂
I would like to be part of Montgomery house, and be an illusionist. Maybe this is not the most astounding power or the more potent , but I think it would be the most useful. It is not too dangerous to use, and subtle. People would almost understimate me, but I could be anyone anywhere and discover many interesting things in many interesting places. And Knowledge is the great power.
I am from Italy
House Harrison for me. I would love to be able to communicate with animals.
I am from the UK
Probably House Harrison [which, i guess i’d have a lot of company! everyone loves Harrison!] because: first, all the fluff, and second, that’s a tight-knit group similar to House Baylor, but not as high-profile at this point and I couldn’t do high-profile. Power would probably be a toss up between Hopper and Animal Mage.
USA
I want to be in house House Ade-Afefe, mostly because the weather in Chicago has been really weird . . . cold, then hot, then pouring, sometimes all 3 in one day. Wait a minute, maybe one of them lives here already!
I would be an Illusionist in House Montgomery. Would love to walk around looking like someone else sometimes.
And I am from Germany.
House Baylor, of course! I’m a sucker for the underdog. I like the fact that house isn’t defined by a particular talent – everyone is welcome with whatever they bring to the table. No one in this house has yet been corrupted by house politics and power plays. House Baylor is also more sensitive to the needs of regular humans – who will always be the ultimate power. Hard to grow up in a house and stay true to the values that House Baylor exemplifies, but I’m willing to give it a shot and can’t wait to read more about them!
House Baylor…family is most important. I think I would like to be a telepath.
House Harrison, would love to have ability of some cats, plus it has always been my dream to come back as a spoiled housecat!
(Canada)
House Sherwood , Some sort of micro life specialty (have to come up with some fancy latiny sounding name for it) as I do medical research for my day job!
USA resident
House Baylor–maybe a cousin? and I would be a dual prime Egocissor / Empath.
United States (Alaska)
House Sagredo, Shaw or Smith -Antistasi. Mental defense and nullify magic.
Texas girl here.
I would want to be in house Montgomery! To be able to use illusions like glamour would be a cool power to have. Never looking your age and being able to hide valuable items
I’d love to be in House Montgomery as an Illusionist. Augustine is one of my favorites, and I love the idea of being able to create fun illusions. Don’t think I could handle being a Truthseeker ? (US-based)
That’s an easy question… I would be in House Harrison… with all the animals…
I’m in the US
And thanks for the chance…
I would love to be an aerokinetic… Ability to fly would be awesome but I guess there is no major House with those powers that has been introduced yet! Hmm… Second choice would be a weather mage because weather manipulation involves mastery of the winds… So House Ade-Afefe for the win!
Country:India
I would be house Harrison specifically to be an animal mage. I think it would be really cool to be able to bond and communicate with animals
House Harrison, because Cornelius is a darling, and I can envision so much hilarity if I had an army of animals at my side. Also, being able to talk to my current pets would be nice, particularly my parrot. Based on her temper, though, it’s probably mostly profane language and criticism of my hair!
I’m in the US.
I would be house Baylor or Rogan, and my power would be luck.
House Harrison all the way! Animal cuddles are the best! – USA
Accidentally left my comment as a reply, so here we go again
I’d love to be the one who shrugs at bragging magic users because I’d be able to withstand them all: House Sagredo, antistasi prime. And a countess of course.
I’m international. Norway
Definitely House Harrison – I’d want to communicate with the animals. I think I’d be a great cat whisperer (US)
I would love to be a Herbamagos in house Sherwood. The chance to participate in medical research and possibly save lives would be amazing.
I would want to be a metamorphose prime in House Baylor or possibly a truthseeker like Nevada. I am in the United States, a Texan by birth but an Arkansan by location (howdy, neighbors!). I love your books!
Hello from Canada! I’d want to be in House Montgomery because I’d want Augustine’s protective side to be in my corner. Though it may not run in this house, I’d like truthseeker powers – bonus that’d I’d be able to contribute back to the House and Montgomery Investigations. (If that’s unrealistic, I’d be a truthseeker in House Lin then. Nothing wrong with government contracts! ? )
House Baylor. I like how they have each other’s back. Family loyalty is huge for them which is the same for me and my family. I’d be a Teleporter cuz that would be the best power. I could visit my friends around the world in the blink of an eye. I’d never have to spend money on airfare or hotels. I could visit cultural sites when they’re closed so I wouldn’t have to deal with crowds of people in my photographs. Teleportation would be the best power ever for me.
I’m from Canada
House Harrison. Animal mage. I love animals, and being able to use animals would almost be like having all of the powers. I think the animal mages are under valued. 😉
Amy
USA
Well besides the obvious desire to be part of Nevada’s house, I would want to be a part of House Harrison and be able to communicate with animals? I already pretend that my 4 cats and 3 sugar gliders understand me lol!
I say house Rogan and my poer would be illusion because it would be nice to look any way you wanted to look.
In today’s world I would be part of House Etterson because I am hoping that part of my powers would include being able to purge pollution from our oceans, rivers, soil and air. Wishful thinking I know ??. (Plus I get an upset stomach when eating abroad and would love to eat street food without worrying about it reappearing later ?) USA resident
At first I thought it’d be nice to be in House Rogan, but honestly I think I’d rather be an illusionist in House Montgomery. (I live in the USA!)
Quest for ARC, if we take it:
If you could be a part of any house in The Hidden Legacy universe, which House would you be in and what would your power be?
I would be House Baylor. I would want mental powers like Leon. The ability to plan the shots ahead and hitting the target each time would be amazing.
( I would be rocking a matrix like duster over a dark outfit. I’d also have the softest leather thigh high boots that I could run in! )
House Nightingale, I feel like it should be full of singers and hopefully dancers! Maybe like BTS?! In fact, now that I’m thinking on it. BTS does seem a little to good, it must be magic!
USA- if you are sorting us out. ?
House Baylor, same powers as Nevada (truthseeker). I know, not very original, but it reminds me of truthsayers from the Dune series (my fave Scifi novels of all time) and I always wanted that power.
International (Canada)
USA – House Sherwood. I love to grow things and plants are usually uncomplicated. People need to eat and look at beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers, right?
House Ade-Afefe, and I would specialize as an air mage, because Avatar will always be one of my favorite shows.
(Cristina, from Spain)
USA: House Rogan because he takes such good care of his people (and he loves his mom so!)
Mnemonic: Because I have kids and they swear that I always remember everything thing (good or bad) that they have done. Plus where the best bargains are.
House Baylor because of pancakes, Leon and how they the Harrisons. Matilda makes an excellent little sister for all of them. The main reason I like House Baylor is because they are honest and straight forward. That is very rare in this world and reality.
House hardcort! And summoner I would be bada** lol
House Sagredo! I’d love to be an anti-stasi prime and be able to nullify other magic, plus, being in the same house as Alessandro…
Given how this giveaway is run, I would want to be in House Vidente, where my awesome power would be dumb luck. My name fits my House, but my branch of the family lives in the Netherlands.
I am feeling LUCKY!!!!!! I would want to be in the house of Baylor. It is a new house and I would want to help it grow. My special power would being able to change the atmosphere in my surroundings to affect the outcome that is needed for the situation. I think that is also a Mom’s power that I wish I had when my kids were growing up!!!
Thanks for this possible ARCortunity!!!!
House Rogan. Just the amazingly different things you can do depending on your power level. Either the delicate at a small level, or the incredible destructive at a large level are so intriguing. And I’m in Canada.
House Rogan! and a teleporter, so I can feel a little like Mary Poppins when cleaning the house! (especially picking up the kids’ stuff…. grrrrrr)
House Rogan … Prime Pyroketic I defected for my own reasons from the House Pierce and I dare anyone to ask me why…I just might burn them.
House Baylor
This Grandma wishes she could fix tanks too.
It’s a tough choice but House Harrison would probably win – I could “make friends” with cats. I love cats and birds are cute as well ^^
But House Etterson or other Venenata house sounds interesting as well. Or some Herbamagos familly (not House Sherwood though) since I’m a gardener ?
I’m from Poland
P.S. there was Rogan POV from Wildefire and post title sais “part one” with suggests that there was to be posted part two and maybe if You’ve got it “laying somewere” maybe You could make it a consolation prize for those who don’t win ?
I would want to be in House Baylor of course! Detecting away, and helping the family. I would want to be a fellow Animal mage to Cornelius.
House Montgomery. Empath. ? Maybe partner with an illusionist? We’d be an unbeatable investigative team! I’m in the US.
I would definitely belong to House Baylor because Catalina is a bad ass. My power would be the ability to calm everyone down when there’s something happening because I’m always the calmest in any emergency. I’m in Florida, United States. Thanks!
House Rogan Hopper because it’d be unusual in that house but extremely useful to the Baylor/Rogan family business.
US reader here. I’d like to be a part of House Harrison. Being an animal mage would be fantastic. I would love to have that kind of rapport with animals.
House Harrison. It would be amazing to communicate with animals. Some other houses are powerful but when i read the books, they stole my heart. Of course they can be mean too. But I would be a sweet animal mage. No abuse of power… From Turkey. Sorry for the mistakes! 🙂
House Harrison for me. A different animal for every occasion the sky would be the limit ?
House Harrison. I want to talk to the animals like Dr. Doolitle
I’d like to be a telekinetic in House Rogan ?
Definitely House Harrison – maybe then I could get my 3 dogs to behave! I’m living in America (I can hear James Brown singing this)
House Harrison as an Animal Mage.
House Harrison, please! Maybe I could get my cats to finally listen to me. Hah! 😉 USA resident (Pennsylvania)
House Sherwood! I would be a scientist and have a superhuman intuitive understanding of my research, which seems really cool. I live in the USA.
Here in the US – would like to be in House Smith – would love to be a Harmonizer and Empath. Creating peace and joy around me all the time.
House Harrison! I love animals. Plus, I like the idea of wolves and jaguars guarding me.
USA
Thanx for the Giveaway! Our Majestic author Lords??♀️
If I had to choose I would say House Rogan, it’s a tough behind the scene good guys house, but everyone fears! Just the right amount of adventure that shakes up my teaching routine? Algeria
I would love to part of the house of etterson. Become a deadly poison assassin for hire. Just by a quiet quick touch on an object or food or by air. No direct correlation to me.
House Sherwood! I want to be a herbamage like Edward Sherwood
Hi!! House Forsberg would be my pick, mostly because I want to be a hopper. I love to travel and I’d save money and time exploring the world. It would be amazing!!! Thanks for this chance!
-Katherine Thunder
House Harrison because you can talk to animals! Who doesn’t want house-breaking ferrets and intimidation panthers? Personally I’d have a capybara for home, hyenas as my attack pets, and probably a snake for fun and intimidation.
– Caitlin from Canada
I would pick House Rogan with the power of telekinesis. I think is would be great to be a bad-ass character who protects others.
International – Canada
I think I’d like to be a Prime Elenchus of House Tremaine. Revealing the truth is an awesome power and a great responsibility. Think of the good that could be done, all the politics cleaned up!
Thank you for the contest! I believe that House Baylor could use a Mnemonic Prime. It would be very helpful in their investigations.
House Sherwood. Herbomagus with an affinity for forest trees (not fruit trees). Maybe work in national parks? (USA)
House Sherwood – I feel comfortable around plants – they do not often talk back 🙂
My power would be healing sick trees and plants.
House Harrison would work for me. I would love to befriend and train animals.
I’m from Sweden.
Hi,
I’m in the US. I’d want to be in House Harrison because….Animals! Seriously it would be great to communicate with animals. Especially our new puppy to tell him to stop peeing on the couch!!
Hello from the west coast. I would be part of House Harrison because they have ties to powerful houses and some very good friends. They also live a fairly private life and would probably be least likely to have reporters from the Herald stalking them. I would love to be an animal mage that’s able to influence animals.My companion animal would be a wolf.
House Baylor because they are a wildcard and won’t stand for any threat to their family. I would like to be a truth seeker or a siren. USA
I would love to be part of House Harrison. To be able to understand and to communicate with the animals I love would enhance my life so much! Plus I love their low-key personalities and their loyalty to one another. Posting from USA.
Hiya! House Harrison, absolutely. I’ve never quite gotten the hang of humans. Beasties though, they make sense to me. Just as well that I’m a vet tech. Cheers!
I’d be a telekinetic, House Rogan or Ramirez, because of all the times that I have mentally planned out how to complete a task, then walked away without doing it. Maybe if I could do it with Magic, it would get done!
From US
Hi from Sweden! I would like to belong to house Harrisson! I loved how Cornelius was able to use the animals to help with the break in 🙂
I would love to be able to communicate with animals!
I would love to be a Precog in House Vidente – I always have affinity to clairvoyance and even practice tarot reading.:)
United Kingdom
House Baylor, and I would be a Magister Examplaria because I invent and code new lace knitting stitch patterns and solve stitch puzzles for lace sweaters every day. I could really use Bernard’s computer expertise!
Hi,
Thank you very much for the chance to win an ARC + Wow very nice website you linked us to, giving tons of really interesting information!
I’d go with House Harrison, with a power on animals, but I’m not sure what else can be done than the power I’ve seen displayed of communicating with animals and having them help.
It would be great if I could stop my cat from meowing all the time!
Cheers from France, next to Cannes.
I would love to be another Truthseeker in house Baylor. I hate fake people so it would be amazing to be able to always know when people are lying 😉 I also love house Baylor’s 3 rules of business and it would be great to work with a group of people with the value and morals. Hi from Canada =)
I’d like to be a part of House Rogan, mostly because I’d like to be a telekinetic, I think it would be way too much fun!
House Harrison – I’m an animal lover. Being able to communicate with animals would be awesome
I’d like to be in House Baylor. I’m a Magister Exemplaria (okay, Magistra) with secondary Projector abilities, which is useful for a teacher; teaching is my superpower. I’m in the USA.
I’d love to be part of House Harrison so I could understand my animals better and have the same meaningful relationship they have. My animals would definitly be felines. I’m from France.
I’d really love to be a member of House Montgomery. No more dieting and exercise, no more face creams, Botox, and makeup, as an Illusion Prime I could even have straight beautiful hair without spending an hour with straighteners and being afraid of rain ?? Thanks for the opportunity to go into the giveaway draw ?
I would like to be part of House Latimer, because I was impressed by Michael Latimer’s willingness to put himself in possible danger to help a stranger he thought might be in trouble. A House that produces someone with that kind of integrity is a House worth belonging to. I don’t think we were told what kind of powers House Latimer is known for, but I would love to be an Aerokinetic, because the wind makes me feel powerful and free.
House Baylor as a pattern mage (duplicate post so can get counted – sorry).
I’d want to be a part of the newly formed House Rogan via Baylor. I’d be a truthseeker with the ability to empathize so as to feel the damage of people that causes them to lie, as to not succumb to the hate for the condition of humanity. But have the ability to be a crack shot that can move objects in case powers one or 2 failed. LOL Is that too much to ask? Oh and I’d have Rogan and Nevada for parents so that would be pretty awesome! I’m in the US.
I would love to be part of house Harrison. I love animals and sometimes understand them better than the average person
House Harrison, I think. It was a hard choice between that or house Baylor but aninals over people always.
House Forsberg for me. I’m naturally inquisitive and the ability to “hop” between places has so much potential to make me a super investigator.
Jim
Definitely House Baylor, because the bond they have is my favorite part of the series – and I’m boring, but probably truthseeker because even with weak powers, I feel like it’d come in handy.
Also, I’m in the US (and thank you guys so much for holding this giveaway!)
I would be part of House Harrison — Why? Well, animals, of course.
Oddly, I’d love to be a part of House Tremaine. I’m good at probing so being taught by someone on how to be a truthseeker sounds amazing.
House Harrison – Animal Mage 🙂 US
House Rogan. Firstly because TK is awesome, but also I love Mrs Rogan!
? from the UK
Such a hard question! I’d want to be part of House Baylor, because the way their family is appeals to me. I’d likely be an empath, as my talents lie in that direction anyway. But I’d love to be a teleporter (of the ones mentioned). I’d also love to understand every language ever spoken anywhere. Maybe that’s some branch of telepathy?
US resident (Washington)
House Baylor becuase of their family bond and in your face honesty. They are there for each other, but they are also real with each other. I would want the power of telekinesis, it is one of the most versatile powers, the options for what you choose to do with it are vast. Plus, who wouldn’t want to be able to move things around with their mind?
I am from the USA.
House Harrison! I want animal companionship and comfortable wealth! My companion would be a bear… imagine your very own sergeant teddy! ʕ´•ᴥ•`ʔ
Hi, I’m brazilian, and although we don’t know yet what is House Latimer’s thing I would like to be in his house only because of Michael Latimer, and I really really hope he was being sincere in thay scene with Nevada.
I would love to be in House Baylor and turn into a shaggy giant monster at will! I am from the US.
I would be a low-level siren in House Molpe because I’ve been told I have a very soothing and warm voice when I’m relaxed. USA.
Oooooooh. I feel lucky! I think I’d like to be House Montgomery. The ability to smoothe imperfections and change things up sounds fun. .Rae
Austin, Tx…USA
I would want to be part of House Harrison and I would be a Therionologist. Having an affinity for animals and being able to ask for their help in any given situation would be fabulous. People are overrated, animals are where it’s at.
House Baylor. I’d be another dark horse 😉
Hi, Ilona, Gordon, Brandi, Artha, Eugene and the other cats and dogs.
I got illusion mage on the test by Aarya, so House Montgomery (but I would like to marry Augustine into it, lol! He’d want me for my illusion genes, and I’d want love, and it’ll be a whirlwind romance where I discover, despite Nevada’s warnings, that he is a good person deep down, and that he believes that he has to play the game and act cold to remain in power and take care of his family and his family’s future. Hey, a girl can dream, right?)
I’m from North Macedonia (it was just Macedonia up until a year or so ago), so I’m not sure if I qualify for the arc, but I hope I do!
With lots of love from across the ocean,
Vera
PS. I posted this from my phone and it turned into a comment reply, which is why I’m posting it again. I hope it worked this time.
House Harrison would definitely be a house I would feel at home in as a therionologist. I love animals, especially cats and feline type animals, so a power granting me the ability to connect with them on a deeper level would be a dream come true. Who needs the ability to bond with other people when you have your fluffy family members and Ilona Andrews` books to keep you going.
Greetings from Norway, Europe.
I would be apart of house Duncan. It is a very old and powerful house and Duncan had the charisma to convince a contingent of people to believe in him and inspired complete loyalty to his whims. The power to sway people to your thinking is very much needed and is something that can further anyone’s agenda.
Yay, give away!!! I would be in House Rogan. Having telekinesis would be fun. I don’t remember a house that has a healing talent. If there is one I would be that instead, but I will settle for moving things with my mind instead. I am a US resident in case you need that info now.
I would like to be a part of House Baylor. They are such a cool family. I would like to be an illusionist.
USA
Thanks.
Definitely House Ade Afefe, ‘cause first of all, such a cool name! Mostly, because of their healthy understanding of balance. If you move the air currents here, it would take away from something elsewhere. So much of our problems is being unable to see the what we do impacts everything around us. Plus they have a good sense of responsibility, even without wanting to be involved in House politics, they stepped up when it was right.
For powers, I would like like to be a weather mage, with a secondary power as a aerokinetic, cause it seems to be in a similar realm, but I want to be able to fly.
Hello from the USA! I would be a member of House Rogan. As a physician, my ideal power would be telekinetic – being able to control the scalpel, needle, etc with my mind would be incredible!
THANK YOU for this chance.
I am from Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain).
After reading the Wicked Scribes guidelines to refresh my options, my preferences remain:
1) I still don’t know what House Lenora Jordan belongs to, but I’ll pick her house if I could because I love her attitude. She is incorruptible, and she also seems just without being mean. Considering the dangerous position she holds, I’ll offer to be a Shielder for her.
2) House Baylor, with a Shielder designation too (between the options, it’s the most I like to protect people – ideally, I would have loved the abbility to heal, not mortal wounds because I don’t pretend to disrupt the circle of life, but to evade pain or heal not lethal injuries… sign me up!!!).
3) House Harrison because I love animals.
House Baylor so I can hang out with Grandma!
Baylor, because patterns are everything. If there’s a way to make it uniquely mine, I’d love to help nurture other’s powers. Find mentors, maybe, help train…maybe more.
I’d love to be part of house Tremaine…I would be another truth seeker. I liked Victoria’s character
House Rogan, I would be a telekinetic and a shielder. I’m in New York.
I would be part of house Harrison and I would be a Therionologist. I would also like to combine that with some type of telepathic ability in order to be able to directly communicate with animals across all species types.
Easy, House Montgomery and the Illusion on invisibility.
Investigator would fit me like a glove-No one can ferret out a lie like I can or get the jump on any evil plots like I can, just ask my kids and husband! Adding supernatural powers to my abilities almost seems cruel.
And invisibility would aid in this process, plus I could finally QUIT DOING MY HAIR AND MAKEUP ALL THE TIME!
I think I’d be in House Etterson as a Magus Venenata. It is the closet power to healing, which is the one magic power I’d seriously love, since they can neutralize poison. Plus the little bit of the Ettersons we’ve seen remind me of the Baylors (always my favorites, but other than Bern and Grandma Frieda their powers are pretty much offensive rather than defensive and I’m not a big fighter… and I’m taking this thought exercise way too seriously) in that they seem to genuinely love and want to protect each other. Poison mages can help others while also defending themselves. Anyway, hello to all from Louisiana!
I may not be as sassy Or outwardly as confident as the sisters, but my loyalty to family would definitely put me in house Baylor. Their dedication to one another is beauty. My power would be an Aegis, wanting the ability to protect those I love. 🙂
Oooohhhh! I am so torn! I’ve narrowed down to summoner (so, House Harcourt) or empath (so House Charles? Is there a House Charles left after Olivia’s ratty demise? If not, then some other Psionic House). I’m a forensic psychologist, so being able to summon arcane chains of justice and be a complete badass like Lenora Jordan is massively appealing. Alternatively, I feel like empathic abilities suit my own, existing highly empathetic nature. It feels good to help people feel better (which is why I became a psychologist in the first place), and I like the idea of being kinda like a Betazoid. Just call me Deanna Troi, y’all!
Hello from the Pacific Northwest, USA. I don’t know what House it would be, but I’d have the power to manipulate machinery/electronics. If it’s running and it shouldn’t be: ZAP! Ever been annoyed by those people who want everyone in the county to listen to their music? ZAP! Can’t get your car started? ZAP! LOL
I would choose House Baylor because of their diversity of talents and family solidarity. Of the talents currently recognized in the house, I would choose the truth seeker ability. Nevada is a favorite, loving and vulnerable, but ruthless protector when necessary.
Hello! It’s a struggle definitely!
I hope I could be a Summoner, if not possible to select other house, than from House Harcourt. Because they deal most with arcane and the world beyond, they summon actual existing creatures! And damn, i’d keep all of those as pets. Hope I could learn to send them back though and not allow them to go through any Grinder of Rogan’s ;).
My second choice would be Fulgurkinetic (mastery of lightning) from house Ade-Afefe. I’d then have power over weather and an extra skill in lightning :D. Never hurts to be a dual!
Can’t wait to read Sapphire Flames!
I’m a huge fan from Poland :).
I would vote for myself to be included in house Baylor as a Teleporter. This could be handy in the adventures they have.
(Canada… Do we count as part of International or US for mailing a book?)
I’d like to be in House Montgomery as a Mnemonic. Imagine all the information you’d have!
-US
House Baylor (very original I know) and I would love to be a Magister Examplaria like Bern because he’s a badass with computers, patterns, codes and just really really smart.
I’m from New-Caledonia.
Hi, I’m from the Philippines! I’d probably part of House Charles (or the house Olivia Charles was part of – I don’t think it was mentioned?) as another empath like Rynda. I’ve always been sensitive to others’ emotions. This had actually led me to being called ’emotional’ a few times, when in fact I just feel what they’re feeling strongly. 🙂
House Rogan of course. Because i’d like to make telekinetic storms and throw bricks an cars when i get angry and of course to protect my family.
Germany
I didn’t choose a power so I’ll try again.
House Baylor to hang out with Grandma and I want the cool shooting skills because that just sounds cool and bada$&.
Hello from Germany. I would belong to House Harrison and I would be a double—an animal mage and aquakinetic. My companion animal would be a sea otter.
I’d be in House Lin and contribute my lawyerly knowledge to their government contract business.
I would have to go with House Sherwood, because plant control is so versatile.
I love in Canada. I would be House Baylor, and I think my power would be something completely random, like I could control bugs, or a certain kind of insect.
I just can’t decide between House Montgomery and House Ade-Afefe. Illusion is reality for so many and to be able to control that!!! But so much depends on the weather…you could do so much good…and prevent a lot of evil…The power to control what people perceive or the power to control the weather…would take a lot of time to choose
House Rogan for me! I want my own private army and I want it big!
House Harrison ! Oh how nice it would be to talk with my animals, I think. LOL Yes I want to be an animal mange. My pets are complicated individuals that think I’m a dummy for not getting their meaning in those long semi patient stares.
I’m personally torn between house Baylor and house Harcourt. Within the Baylor house, I would want to be a Metamorphose, cause seriusosly, as long as you remain sentient, how cool would that be? Buuuutt…. I also really like the idea of house Harcourt cause being able to summon all manner of things from the arcane plane would be pretty awesome too. And while I originally thought I would lean towards house Harrison, cause you know ANIMALS!! I dont like the idea of of the human bonding issues… I know a summoned creature wouldn’t have the same bond, not like an animal image and her partner’s, but I think it’s probably the next best thing… so yeah, be the amazing creature (but maybe lose myself in the form) or summon amazing creatures but not have the personal connection…. I cant choose!! Lol
house montgomery….the possibilities with illusion magic seem endless…house rogan was my first choice but they battle all the time lol
Looking forward to reading this one
I would want to be part of house howling. Lightening shooting out of my hands to zap someone would be so fun! I would be like a Star Wars villain!
I’d be in House Harrison and would be an animal mage with an affinity for horses.
I’m in the US.
That is a ridiculously hard decision. Maybe, a house harrison animal mage?
House Baylor! I’d be a Truthseeker like Nevada!
House Rogan from the East Coast. My power would be telekinesis and teleportation so I could ,I’ve and groove!
I’m thinking House Harrison because I’d want to be an animal mage!
I am very emotionally connected to animals so probably House Harrison with some kind of animal magic.
I pick House Forsberg because I think teleporting would be GREAT!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this chance! I’d love to be in House Harrison bec I’m an animal lover and I think that the ability to bond/communicate with them would be awesome.
I’m from Canada.
I would go for House Baranovsky if there is such a house. Being able to know the future seems like a good power (although it did not stop him being murdered).
I would love to be House Harrison so I can amass my own rodent army! Plus maybe a otter army to deliver Valentines? 🙂
I would have to be house Harrison. I’ve always loved working with animals and being able to understand them–how they think, where they hurt, what they need–would be awesome!
I’d be part of house Ade-Afefe. I’d love to control the weather. I would be both a fulger and psychro kinetic mage (lightning and ice) mainly because it sounds cool.
Sarah (from Canada)
Resident Country: USA (Specifically Alaska)
Power: Elementalist – controls more than one element, usually air in conjunction with either water or fire. Rarely reach Prime status, but dangerous even as an Average.
House: House Ade-Afefe (weather mages). Since a strictly elemtalist house has not been named and all elementalists are strong in Air, Also I believe Adeyemi Ade-Afefe helped dissipate the tornado through her Air affinity.
What would I do with my power: For a profession I’d like to present art entertainment at high-end social functions. 1st this gives me a creative outlet doing what I love: performing with a purpose. The art entertainment will heavily utilize the the elements to help paint a picture with silks (for air; other mediums/elements to experiment with though). I love all forms of music, Arial yoga and telling a story without words. This also gives me a glimpse into the elite world and a chance to network since my preferred profession wouldn’t necessarily keep me safe at first until I could save up enough to afford security detail from House Rogan of course. I could even partner with a Harmonizer looking to branch out from interior decorating. A harmonizer that can view the choreography and change the color of a medium (silk in this example) or the motion to express that sense of calmness and relaxation a bit stronger. I could also even choreograph dance, cheer, and marching band routines for a school of any level (secondary or post secondary)
House Baylor. Siren. But I would totally be cautious with that power though.
I reside in Connecticut, USA
Hmm, I think House Rogan with telekinetic powers. I will have a company that provides disaster relief and use my power to move large debris, provide aid and help rebuild. I’m in the US. Thanks for the chance!
Just in case.
House Montgomery. For the investigation and being able to hide in shadows.
I would be in House Baylor and hang with Leon. When his story gets told, it’s going to be very interesting. Plus being able to see just a bit into the future, way cool.
I think House Harrison because then I could hang around my dog and cat and do nothing all day but wait for dinner bell!
This was a fairly difficult question for me to answer, I think I would be in one of the investigative houses like House Montgomery or House Forsberg, because I love to research, read, and I am a big problem solver. My power would either be telepathy or truth seeking so I could find out more info.
I would want to be in House Baylor. because in all the books and stories, Baylor is the only one to explicitly codify the three rules. Most houses could care less about the untalented. My talent would be Prime Elenchus as our house would still need one when Nevada moves to House Rogan.
I am in the US.
Thank you so much for the giveaway! From the existing houses I would be a part of House Sherwood/ herbamagos. Affecting the growth and life cycle of plants seems fascinating and has applications across the board as far as possible industry (medical, manufacturing, defense) as well as conservation. But I can’t help making up more in my head. What about metamorphose from the British isles responsible for selkie and kelpie legends? Maybe both islands are fiercely self isolated with gigantic deer and wolves with metamorphose and animal mages (therinologist)? Or Hawaii has a ton of herbamagos and pyrokinetics? My mind won’t stop!
I am from South Africa! Hidden Legacy is my favourite series ever (I thought Kate Daniels could not be topped but, alas, I was wrong). Unfortunately, in South Africa, it takes ages for books to come out. So this ARC would be the best and most appreciated.
I’ve always wondered what house I’d be in. I do quite identify with Arabella’s Beast (not because I’m hairy but I just think it’d be so cool to transform into something). However, I wouldn’t go so far as to say that I would be in House Baylor. I would definitely not be in Madero, I am very weak and have zero upper body strength . I think I’d be in House Ade-Afefe. I would love to be a weather mage – especially because I’m in the middle of a massive drought so any water would be much appreciated. I really do think controlling the weather would be the coolest.
Hmm…if it was up to me, I’d go for House Forsberg, because being sneaky sounds way more fun than just kicking mucho butt like House Harcourt. Well, that, and intellectual espinoage (thinking way outside the box) works for me! Thanks so much for this awesome opportunity!
In my early life I tried to imitate people around me but soon figured out that I would never think like they did, so no House Montgomery for me as my behavior would give me away. I love the Hopper talent, but that didn’t turn out so well for that guy in White Hot. I think all in all I would want to be in House Baylor with a Truth Seeker talent because I want to know when people are lying to me, and I’d like to know the truth they are hiding and why. (I’d especially like to use it on some of the current politicians in office.)
Ugh this is so hard! I always find the illusion stuff interesting, so I suppose House Montgomery! I’m a doctor in real life so I’m mostly doing medical investigations to figure out what is wrong with a patient- so I would find it fun to work for an agency. I’m in the US
I would want to be part of house howling. Lightening shooting out of my hands to zap someone would be so fun! I would be like a Star Wars villain!
I’m in the USA.
Hello from Portland, Oregon! I would want to be in House Sherwood or Harrison. Definitely would be a plant or animal mage – basically I either want to grow really pretty flowers or be able to have a sloth hanging out in my house 🙂
As much as I’d like to say House Baylor because I adore the strong, fierce, funny, independent women in that House, truth is I’d likely be House Harrison. My husband teasingly calls me the animal whisperer. As a child I talked my parents into letting us keep a not-quite-feral cat as a pet and I was the only one who could ever pet him. I made friends with some wild horses that roamed the land where my dad worked for a few years. And I’ve been a dog trainer for over 12 years. So … yeah, House Harrison it is.
I’m in the US. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
I would be in House Nightengale (because I love that name!) I don’t know what the regular House powers are, but I’d be an Elementalist with power over earth and fire.
House Harrison: 1) animals. 2) often underestimated
The house is financially solid and is making good connections.
Telekenesis all the way! So put me in House Rogan or House Marcus 🙂
Absolutely House Charles. Being an empath wiggle be SO HELPFUL. I do love being a shrink, and helping people heal. It would help me be more understanding, and possibly help my clients stay in their windows of tolerance and heal more quickly.
Hi from Charlotte, North Carolina! I have to say that being a part of the House culture sounds absolutely miserable. I guess I would probably have the best chance in House Baylor then! I know there are tons of flashy powers, but I think I would choose to be a Magister Exemplaria. Seeing the world like that would be like being Sherlock Holmes.
I would choose to be a member of House Harrison and be an animal mage.
I can not image spending a life without my animal family.
House Montgomery for the illusion magic – There’s a lot of diabolical stuff you can do with that and if we ever got to take a peek into all the little itty bitties that House Montgomery gets up to when we’re not looking, we’d probably be awed and skeeved at the same time.
House Harcourt or similar. I would be an empath without a doubt.
Hailing from Seattle.
I would have to be in House Harrison and be an animal mage-Prime. I feel most comfortable around animals and I know I communicate telepathically with my dogs sometimes. (ok, call me crazy) I would love to be able to hear what animals are really saying.
If I couldn’t do that, I would have to be House Montgomery and be an illusionist – Prime. I could be anybody and find out anything! My nosy self would be ecstatic! LOL
House Rogan all the way!
I’m would be in House Harrisson and be an animal mage.
Definitely an animal mage! I love them and they love me :), so I guess House Harrison? I know for sure I wouldn’t be a herbamagos… I tend to kill plants… ?
I think being an Antistasi like Alessandro would be my first choice. It means you can use your magic to protect others from bad magic users, and that seems like an easier magic ability to live with, than something that is mainly destructiv.
Although I strongly believe the goodness or just moral is in our actions, in the active choices we make on how we use our gifts or talents or treat our fellow sapient (and non-sapient) earth-dwelling-neighbours (and I don’t mean just magic here, but real life talents too…), so no-one has to be evil or bad just because they got dealt a difficult or bad hand in the DNA-game we call life.
So even if one got a harder magical talent to control, finding a way to be a productive and beneficial part of society would be a bigger act of will and effort, so in my world-view that would be even more admirable. So maybe I show a lack of imagination, or will to work harder, when I choose a “safe” choice? Hmm, that gave me something to think about…
I’m doing the hard thinking and late-night soul-searching in Stockholm, Sweden, by the way… ?
Country: New Zealand
House: Sherwood. I would love to have that connection with plants, poisonous ones in particular but I wouldn’t be too fussy. As much as I’d also love to have a badass full on offensive power, I love my garden too much! Also, it’s so practical which I feel suits me.
Hi, I’m from South Africa. House Rogan and Teleporter will be my pick.
This was a hard one because a lot of these Houses have some tragic stories and I wouldn’t want to be in a House that already has family issues. I would love to be an animal mage but I couldn’t deal with the emotional issues so that’s out.
Was Fullerton with a House besides Scroll? Because I’d love to have his powers because knowledge is power! And all of those powers and DNA combinations are just fascinating! If not I’d have to go for House Baylor just so I could claim that I’m part of that crazy but awesome family!
I would definitely want House Baylor because it’s all about family and doing your own thing and not looking down on anyone and helping anyone in need. I would love to say I would be an Aegis to protect people, but with my luck I would be in the Hulk Smash When Mad category and be a Metamorphose instead. An Animal Mage would be nice though, I do adore my pets so.
I am in the US.
House Etterson — I’d love to be able to clear poison and other nasty substances from food (and people too?)
House Harrison because love the ability to communicate with birds and animals
I would be an animal mage in House Harrison. I already talk to animals.
House Schaffer, a breaker. USA. Thank you for the opportunity to enter.
POLAND, Europe 🙂
House Lin – Truthseeker
I do not know when people are lying – i hate this. I always trust.
House Harrison for me, I’d love to communicate at s deeper level with animals!!! Plus I think there is much more to Cornelius and his daughter!
I would be happy to be in Harrison house. I love animals!
Hello from the US of A. For me, House Harrison, as an animal mage to work with creatures underwater, on land, in the sky – from insecta onward (Although being able to interact with single celled beasties could have a lot of applications- directing biota for good or ill..,)
House Ade-Afefe as a weather mage!
Most assuredly, House Baylor. I always felt that their skills were perfect for a house of war. They are also extremely close knit. If you take one of them on, you take all of them on; sort of like the Mars family. My power would be something that fits in, like having an affinity for explosive devices. I could instinctively dismantle a bomb, walk through a minefield, be aware of potential explosives or build a bomb in my sleep. I would have a secondary skill in tracking just to be well rounded.
House Etterson – magus venenata.
I live in Canada
Wow this is hard..I think I would be an Illusionist so House Montgomery… even though I really want to say House Baylor..
B&H
House Rogan: Telekinetic, because I am lazy & would love to have the ability to float things to me rather than get up & get them; also handy for lifting very heavy packages/objects, pushing (gently) away undesirable, irritating or rude people, and floating my grandchildren so they can pretend they are flying!
I am in the USA, state of Michigan
Hello from Louisiana. House Harrison definitely. I can only imagine what an animal mage could do with all the wildlife that live in the bayous here. Also would love to know what my dog is barking at in the middle of the night without having to get up to investigate.
I would want to be in House Sherwood. I’m not really a fan of being the center of attention and I have kind of a black thumb so I think it would be really cool to have a talent with vegetables and herbs. I think that would be a very useful gift because the herbal part would fit into House Sherwood’s company and I could have a side business providing vegetables to restaurants in the city.
House Harrison for me. As an animal mage, I can finally know why my dog does the things he does!! I’ve always liked animals more than people.
House Lattimer. Seem like smart, good folks. But I’d like to be a mech mage. -Frances Or, US.
Country: US
While I would LIKE to be in House Baylor (who wouldn’t want to hang out in the warehouse? Seriously.), and I would likely be an Elenchus if so, it is more likely that I’d be in House Harrison & be an Animal Mage. 🙂
House sagredo. Because I could be in line to be a Countess
But I think I want to be a telepath. Those are kind of in the same family right?
House Harrison
Animal mage
I like animals more than people!
I would like to be in House Rogan as an animage. I would love to be able to deal with animals. ?
Hello from Canada! I would be from House Harrison so that all the animals could do my bidding. Animal Madge for me!
House bayer!
Hello from Portland
I would want to be a Magister Examplaria in whatever house ( likely Baylor?). The stuff Nevada is involved in scares me. I would like this power over patterns and numbers to blend in but be powerful
It’s a toss up between house Baylor and house Rogan. I’d be Magister Examplaria since that’s the direction where my real life follows and I just love the idea of finding patterns like Bern. But, I really would love to have telekinetic powers. I’m from South Jersey (yeah I am all for seceding from NJ since North Jersey is another country ?)
Of course House Baylor and Prime Metamorphosis. USA
Well, this is a hard one. I think if I chose a power it would be antistasi, because I would hate to have my mind turned against…and I like to think I can defend people. And since House Baylor is becoming the Island of Misfit Toys, I would choose them. Plus, I don’t respond to authority well and most likely I would have a better chance of surviving there.
Of course I would love to be in House Baylor somehow, it would just be too much fun. As far as powers, I would love to be able to heal people, so maybe microscopic telekinesis? Or a way to take away people’s pain? Something like that. So excited to read the book!
House Ade-Afefe! Storm from X-Men is my favorite comic book character so when I read Wildfire, I loved the similarity!
House Harrison!
I would love being an animal mage and honestly, being comfortably wealthy instead of insanely wealthy would be good enough for me ?
House Rogan definitely. My family – back 7 generations – has a history of military service and I could see using my Telekinetic powers in service to my country.
House Sherwood – Being able to restore a barren piece of land and make it a viable producing piece of land would be great. With all the Eco-disasters around the globe, having this skill would help heal areas of the earth. Plants can absorb toxins, replenish depleted soil, and change the makeup of the soil all together. The lesser talented of the family could run a landscaping business, ag-business or a darker side (poisons, plant based gases, plants that eat flesh). We would of course provide gardens and green spaces for public use. The family estate would rival the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. USA
House Molpe! Just because it feels like I’m already there when baby grabs on to me ?
And hello from Trinidad and Tobago ?
House Latimer! I don’t even know what they do, but the Batman-esque card that Michael gave to Nevada makes me think he’s a superhero. Also his aunt is a badass for sticking up for someone she thought was being abused. From the world building you’ve done, that kind of moral compass is nonexistent in the house world.
House Ade-Afefe, a weather mage. I have been in love with weather since a young age, would watch the weather channel all day when I was a kid. I like how the house is neutral and don’t like to get in anyone’s business, but they still have morals and help when it is right.
Hmm…tough choice.
I think I would choose House Baylor. I like their diverse abilities, but most of all I admire and adore their family bond and loyalty to each other. No matter what, you know that they‘ve got your back and that is worth more than any ability.
I would love to have Grandma Baylors ability/ „magic“ to fix cars/tec stuff.
International Reader from Germany
Thanks for holding the contest 🙂
House Montgomery, because it sounds like a well run house.
But I’d want to have aerokinetic power because who doesn’t want to fly? Guess that means I’d be from dual lineages.
I live in the US.
House Sherwood – herbal prime able to amp up the power of herbal medicines and poisons.
Hello from Virginia, USA!
I believe I would be a Significant Herbamagos of House Sherwood, specializing in Dietary Medicine.
Thanks for having the contest!
Hmm. I think House Harcourt. Being able to summon creatures from another dimension sounds right up my alley. LOL Thanks for the giveaway!
U.S.
House Sherwood since we know they’re researchers and that’s me! Also, I flourish in nature.
House Latimer. I like the values he displayed.
House Sagredo or I’d be an aegis mage… so I can look bored while my enemy frowns in confusion when their attack fails. Mwahaha.
House Baylor and an animal mage.
House Baylor, siren.
From Canada
Definitely House Harrison. I loved the potential of Zeus.
House Collins because waterbending is awesome and I could cross rivers, seas and oceans without paying for plane tickets ;] also, water can be wonderfully soothing, or a lethal weapon, too.
House Baylor because of the love of family and the willingness to toe the line in defense of the people.
So sorry, I can’t find my comment to edit it as I forgot to say that I’m in Ireland. I’d love to be an Illusion Prime in House Montgomery. Thanks so much for doing this.
House Pierce, pyrokinetic. It would be a useful power to help with large construction projects. (U.S. Resident)
House Latimer. They felt very Wakonda-like. And my superpower would be to create supernatural weapons that would be sharp and cut or stab but disappear after a few minutes if not in my hands…leaving no evidence.
I’d like to be in House Rogan. He’s a powerful head of house, and there wouldn’t be any money problems. I’d like the same power as Nevada. Very useful to know when you are being lied to.
House Rogan but I’d want to be an aerokinetic mage and fly.
House Harrison because everyone wants a ninja ferret!
Love from the UK
Definitely telepath but not sure I’d fit in with any of the houses we’ve met so far. So TBD on house?
This might be my favorite contest so far! Let’s see, for house choice I think I would choose House Harrison. Being an animal mage so I could connect and communicate with animals on the level that they do would be amazing.
House Harrison for sure! I definately find animals to be better than people sometimes. 😉
Croatia – Europe
House Sherwood – Herbamagos 🙂
Plants are the best and making them grow is always amazing. They are already used to help people with everything, from a headache to a heartache 🙂
Mmmmm , difficult question… telekinesis appeals to me but I think I’ll go for House Forsberg, it would be fun to be a Hopper, like in the Jumper film.
I’m from Milan, Italy.
House Baylor, family is very important to me so I don’t think I’d do well with the more cut throat families. I’d like to be Oneiromancer , I’d probably get into too much trouble with another power lol I live in the US
House Forsberg as a Significant Truthseeker. I’d love to work for a security firm as an investigator.
US resident. Thanks for the opportunity!
I would be in House Harrison and bond with animals. A Prime, of course.
How exciting! Thank you for this opportunity! I would probably be a Mnemonic or Antistasi from House Sagredo. I live in the US.
Oneiromancer Prime because I’m a double Pisces (sun and moon) and dreams are everything! House Baylor if they’ll have me.
I’m in the US.
Hello from Europe, Germany
Well, I guess I’d probably belong to house Sherwood or maybe house Rio because I’d be a herbamagos
Since I’ve actually turned our stairwell into some sort of a garden where I grow not just the usual stuff many poeple might have on their balconies, like some herbs and perhaps a tomatoplant… No, I also grow potatos, cucumbers, zucchini, pumpkin and more (yes, on the stairwell, not on a balcony(I don’t have one)) I think the image of an herbamagus does fit me…
Good morning from sunny/cloudy/rainy Melbourne in Australia!
I’d have to go for House Harrison as a Significant animal mage as I absolutely loved the ferret B&E action ?
Thanks for the chance for the international fans! ☺
House Collins excise
Elementalist -Geokinetic/Aquakinetic
Multiple uses for this in mining, farming and construction in general. Excised for being an illicit love child who hates house structure.
I think I would like to be truthseeker, but definitely not on the Tremaine side! I’d join Lin, since not much is known and I am curious about them.
And I’m from Finland!
Hi from Cape Town, South Africa! House Montgomery for me! I could make myself look like anything I wanted and bled in anywhere – how awesome that would be!
House Harrison so my horse could confirm that her new $2800 saddle really was necessary for her comfort. I need to win the book because she just broke the bank and I can’t afford to buy it now!
House Rogan; telekinesis. The day would be so much easier if I could make my bed without touching it.
Victoria, Australia.
House Collins. I’m a water baby! I’d love the ability to control water, whether to soothe or to fight. What a fun contest!!
I would like to be in House Harrison as an animal mage. I love animals of all kinds and would love to talk to them. Certain animals would make good spies
Hi !
I would like to be in House Harrison, because I love animals and we lost our Great Dane on my birthday )-:
Hey, I just thot… If I win, please give my copy to someone who can’t afford to buy it. I will get a copy somehow, and there are so many who REALLY can’t!
PS I love your books!
House Harrison, just think of all the amazing animal buddies out there
House Pierce. Control over fire. I could make a wisp line up down the sharpe edge of a sword to cut through anything or make a net from flames. Also useful for lighting candles. London
I think I would have to say house Baylor and I’d want to be a Truthseeker like Nevada. It would be kind of awesome to know when people were bullshitting you. ?
I live in Australia. ?
xx
House Harrison, animal mage. I love animals and being able to communicate with them would be a dream come true. I also like the fact that it’s a small house that doesn’t get much attention.
House Harrison – because it would be amazing to understand animals and have them as companions
House Montgomery. Prime Audio Illusionist. Make you hear whispers, creepy clown music, or nothing at all.
As much as I don’t like House Pierce, I want to be a pyro, I admit. Frosberg is tempting though if you can hop across the planet. Would love to be able to travel quickly.
I would like to be a Shielder or Aegis, whichever house(s) those come from in the U.S. to protect people from attacks. Thank you so much for the opportunity to get an ARC!
I would love to be part of the Latimer House. They are respected, stand-up for others, and seemed close.
I would love to be a Metamorphose Prime. Being able to kick butt is nice, but Arabella does amazing as a protector and I think that could be helpful in a House that sticks it’s neck out against other Houses for strangers.
I’m in VA the USA
I would like to be part of House Baylor. They aren’t just one kind of talent. Their talents work together to make a stronger whole. I would want to be an animal mage or a metamorphose..
I’d like to be in a house known for Aerokinetic abilities because I would love to fly!!
USA
House Harrison, animal mage!
House Baylor; Nevada’s power is awesome. Used only for good, of course. ?
I’m all over being someone from a summoning house. Except, instead of summoning world ending monsters I would love to be able to summon tiny monsters who would clean my house and cook dinner for free.
House Rogan! Just because ? how cool would it be to move things with your mind!
Live in the US
House Ade-Afefe – I have always wanted to be able to control lightning and being able to control the weather sounds like a great versatile power.
As much as I would live to say House Baylor, I think house Harrison would be amazing. Animals can be so soothing, I don’t think you would ever be stressed! Or at least I could make my chihuahua Cerberus understand that not everything is food so he will stop eating the furniture ??
House Sherwood, I like the idea of herbals and plants….plus they can be offensive or defensive.
House Latimer. It takes a strong house to be willing to go up against Mad Rogan for a nameless someone. Telempath. I’m in the medical field. It would help.
Omg I would have to say House Sherwood! I love plants and I love the idea of being able to have the most prolific and successful garden.
I’m in the US.
House Montgomery! Feeling a little unhappy with the way I look lately – would be nice to smooth everything out and up! 🙂
House Harrison for sure. Give me all the animals! That includes Eugene the turtle. They are the best pets.
House Harrison. It would be great to talk to animals!
So many excellent options to choose from but I would go it’s House Ade-Afefe! Besides being a house of weather mages (ridiculously cool all by itself) I really enjoyed the way their family has been represented in this world. They appear fair and honorable. Unafraid to stand up for what they think is right and willing to work toward a greater good. Hail House Ade-Afefe!!!!
House Baylor for the win! ?
I’d be a dark horse for House Sagredo – they’d never see me coming 😉
I live in Toronto, Canada. Thank you for letting me play!
I would be part of House Montgomery as an Antistasi. I live in the US.
I would really like to be in House Baylor because I feel that they are the most down to earth house and I would like to be a Siren.
(US)
I would want to be a part of House Sherwood. I’m most at home in nature— and the possibilities for good with medical research appeals to me. Also, you can’t underestimate the power of plants!
I’d like to be a telekinetic mage in House Rogan.
House Baylor! They have awesome, unique and sort of unexpected abilities so it’d be fun to guess what I get. Plus, the family is so well written I just want to be smothered in it 🙂
Im from the Czech Republic, Europe.
House Harcourt – from a black sheep branch that finds and summons arcane creatures for constructive / creative purposes rather than combat (and is interested in building links with House Harrison for futher research).
(New Zealand)
Hi- I would love to be a part of the Baylor Family. The diversity of their House magics gives me so many options to choose from, and I admire the loyalty they have for each other and the fact that they are so moral and ethical both as a family and as individuals. Having one of their rules be that at the end of the day, they need to be able to look themselves in the eye and know that they stayed within their ethical and moral boundaries in their jobs and in their lives. For me, that is so important and is something I think everyone should strive for everyday. For my magic choice, I really hate liars so I would choose to be a Truth Seeker, with a side of Catalina’s magic of Siren. That way, if I hurt someone with my magic, I could work my secondary magic so they would not remember. At least, that would be my goal. I’d probably have to bend things a little to get there, but what the heck.
I would choose House Baylor because of the diversity of powers! My power would be an Empath in order to be able to contribute as a member of Baylor Investigations (USA).
Antistasi, House Rogan.
Id like to be a Magister Examplaria, but no house has been identified. So House Rogan for telekinesis because that’s just awesome.
(USA)
House Etterson, Magnus Venenata. I’m exceptionally terrible in any physical realm, but I always liked chemistry and being able to ingest poison without being affected seems like a neat trick to pull out at a party. USA.
I think I would like to be part of a house with aerokinetic powers. Who wouldn’t want to fly!
House Harrison.Animal mage!
House Sagredo. I’d like to be an antistasi and excel in mental defense.
House Baylor, because of the multi talents of the family
I would love to be in house Baylor. Mostly because they’re a hodge podge group of cool people who don’t care about status. I would like to be a Binder cause how cool would that be to create something new??
I’m from the US
I liked what I saw of House Ade-Afefe.
I would be part of House Baylor because it’s the best (biased). I would be a null where I render other’s impotent within a certain distance.
House Sturm. A Wind mage is pretty amazing. I m from Switzerland
Oooh I’d love to be part of House Rogan cause who doesnt wanna move thing with their minds. I’d love to have Connor’s powers and his Mom? She’s totes awesome! Thanks for the chance! XO
SWEDEN! If I could pick any House aside from House Baylor, it would be House Sherwood and the power of Herbamagos! As a plant hoarder irl with a slight phobia of bugs (the irony), I would be set (and safe) for life as a plant mage! ???????????
House Baylor without a doubt everybody needs to love me.
House Baylor of course. Some kind of invisibility power would be awesome.
House Harrison, animal mage, significant. I am a biologist and I have an umbrella cockatoo that is very bonded with me even thought I was told that she would never be a “pet quality” bird and only good for breeding. She was a rescue, not hand reared, was a wild bird that flew away from everyone, but after a year of patient work I got her not to just let me pick her up but to come to me and ask for pets and scratches. That was over 30 years ago. She went to college classes with me, she has run of the house, and she comes to eat dinner at a perch near the table to be part of the family. The vet says she is in remarkable condition and was shocked at her age. She is a part of me and I would do anything for her. I would not want to be prime because I would want to have more of a say in who I marry and how I live my life. I would not like to be as social or associate with cut throat society as much as primes must.
House Sherwood. I’d want to help people by growing plants that are healthy to eat or potent plants that can be made into powerful medicines. USA 🙂
I would choose House Harrison. Mainly because I’ve always wanted to be able to talk to animals. Espically when I was still riding because then I could figure out the purple horse eating monster only my mare would see! ??♀️ Also because I miss my ferret, and the scene with ferrett heist is one of favorite sceens ever.
Thank you for the giveaway! US resident.
Greetings from Canada!!
I would love to be in House Harrison as an Animal Mage with a couple of wolves and big cats!!
House Rogan. It would be cool to caress my man without actually touching him..
I would love to be a Telekinetic but I’m pretty sure it would make me completely lazy.
Instead I’d like to be Magister Examplaria with traces of Herbamagos if possible in order to understand the mechanism of a virus and using the plant mage powers to find and create meds to fight it.
That would possibly make me member of House Baylor thanks to Bernard and let’s say the lucky girl he found is a member of House Sherwood we don’t know about.
Send the book to Greece,
Please and Thank you!
^_^
I like House Sherwood, now that Edward, the tree lord, is in charge. 😀 And I’d like to be a plant herbamagos.
House Harcourt – cause seriously, who doesn’t love summoning? 😀
(I’m from Belgium)
House Etterson, Magnus Venenata. I love the idea of being able to play with poisons without getting hurt. It would also be cool to cure overdose and poison victims.
House Harrison, animal mage!!!!
Definitely House Baylor. Couldn’t do Harrison too many allergies HA!
House Harrison. I want to be able to communicate with animals!
House Etterson-the ability to walk in to a room and purge poisons would be amazing!
I’d be in House Harrison, because how cool to be an animal Mage. I’d love to be able to communicate with dogs, hawks, and great cats.
I would be in House Baylor and my power would be a Therionologist. I love animals and I love that House Baylor is eclectic and they might need me :-).
Would like to belong to House Harrison and be an animal mage.
.
House Harrison, animal mage, significant. I am a biologist and I have an umbrella cockatoo that is very bonded with me even thought I was told that she would never be a “pet quality” bird and only good for breeding.

I would not want to be prime because I would want to have more of a say in who I marry and how I live my life. I would not like to be as social or associate with cut throat society as much as primes must.
I like medical research, so a Herbamagos in house Nightingale. I’m in the USA
I would like to be a harmonizer, no specific house. Employable talent without all the death/destruction/politics.
House Harcourt. I would like to summon and control demons. Sounds dangerous and a good time.
House Collins with aquakinetic abilities. from more of a research perspective, I would love to investigate unexplored regions of the ocean and apply knowledge toward human health and environmental applications. US Resident
House Montgomery, would be cool to be an illusionist.
US resident.
I would like to be a part of House Baylor. I love how close they are and the love that they have for one another. No matter what, they have each others backs. I want to spend time with Grandma Frida while she is working in the garage. And my house is associted with House Rogan so I would get to hang out with Conner and Nevada.
House Collins! Being able to play and explore in water as a living would be awesome.
I’m Canadian.
Not sure what house. I would probably be in hiding somewhere on a mountain. I would be a healer of emotional issues. All the pain in the world driving me into seclusion. Only to be found by the most aggrieved or children.
I think I’d like to be part of house Harrison. Being able to communicate with animals and get them to help you sounds fantastic.
USA
As a secondary school teacher it has to be House Baylor and I’d hope to inherit truth seeking abilities, although my lie detector abilities are pretty well honed when it comes to missing assignment excuses…..
I’m in the UK.
I’d like to be a member of House Baylor, as they’re a family who values the individuals over their talents.
I think I’d like to be a truthseeker. Better to know what is real and true.
Thanks for the ARC opportunity.
I would love to be part of House Sherwood. That way I would be able to figure out why my cactus is dying.
I’m in the US.
I would be a member of House Harrison or one of the Herbamagos Houses. I’ve have a deep love of animals and plants. I have a family history of green thumbs my delphiniums grow up to 12ft tall when they normally only supposed to grow up to about 8 max. Ive helped.set up the uerbarium at my local university and the only reason I didn’t go into biology as either an entomologist(insects) or botanist(naturally occuring plants) is because I am not a writer. I hate writing, and there is no way I would be able tp write a thesis or scientific articles on my work. I have more stories in my belt than i can count of myself and critters. from ending up 8 blocks from home at age 3 trying to catch a bunny(I was successful). To shushing a cousin who was freaking out about me getting bit by a snake when I was 8. It was a garter snake, she thought I was dying, I told her to shut up I handle them all the time. I usually have upwards of 30 plants in my home, and I alwasy have at least a couple of different kinds 0f critters I lovingly care for.
Well, I’d love to be House Baylor just so I could be related to Nevada and her Grandma! But power wise I’d love fulgurkinetic or illusion. So House Howling or House Montgomery. So can I have those powers but be House Baylor? I live in the UK.
House Harrison. Because animals!
Alabama USA
House Vidente, precognition, how great would it be to be able to have some advance knowledge of what will happen (whether or not you can change it)
House Rogan! No one would mess with me!
I would love to be an illusionist of House Montgomery. It sounds so cool to change shapes. I would probably stalk and scare the crap out of people who made me mad.
In the US
House Harrison, I’ve always wanted to be a Dr. Doolittle in another life!
House Collins. I think being able to help the world with their water problems would be awesome.
USA
House Ade-Afefe, to understand the wind paterns that well and be able to shift them even slowly to move clouds and weather around would be awesome, also the possibility of flying on the winds.
I would like to be part of house Harrison, because animal mages are simply too cool.
I’m from germany.
House Ade-Afefe, weather mage prime. Closest I could come to being Thor!!
House Montgomery, as a Magister Exemplaria. It seems like a good place to hold down a routine job without all the adventure. Somebody needs to stay in the office and research the details.
Hi, Im from Germany, Europe.
For me House Rogan and as power telekinesis. We wouldn’t have any money problems and I could close my bedroom door without getting up from my warm bed heheh.
House Ade-Afefe, I like the idea of being connected to & influencing the weather and also don’t think I’d really enjoy being a fighter or investigator. XD ….although if I knew an aeromancer House, I’d probably go with that one. 🙂
House Harrison – I love animals too much (1 dog, 3 cats) not to pick them.
I’m from Perth, Australia, I would love to be a member of House Baylor as it would feel more like a family than a business, plus they’re all hilarious. I’d love to be a significant truthseeker as a Prime would be too much responsibility but knowing the truth and if you’re being lied to is something I would love to know.
House Baylor. I’d love to be a truth seeker. From the United States.
House Harrison! Oh, I would really like to be an animal mage. Just think how useful to our animal shelters or fosters after taking in an animal from an abusive situation.
Thank you.
House Collins, aquakinetic.
House Sherwood for sure. I was trained as a botanist. I’m in the US.
Thanks for giving out arcs!
House Harrison. The allure of being able to communicate with animals and interact with ones that’d normally be too dangerous for humans is just too much to pass up. I’d specialize in cats of all sizes.
House Harrison and I could control/be friends with tigers. Or pandas. That would be hilarious.
I would want to be dual prime like Alexsander Sturm. I would love to control both air and lighting. My house choice would be House Sturm’s. Since he is currently incarcerated that would make me head of the house. I live in the Midwest
House Sherwood. My dying plants would appreciate it.
Barcelona, Spain.
Would defiantly want to be a Teleporter and since they are down to earth House Baylor. Just think about it no need to fly or drive anywhere you just decide to be one place (guessing you would have to have been there at least one time first) and you are there. Trips become a breeze. You can fly across the country one way, teleport back home to pick up your family and luggage, then back across the country with everything all for 1 plane ticket. 🙂
I am torn between wanting to be in House Rogan and being telekinetic or being a Therionologist in House Harrison . I love animals but I am a bit lazy so being telekinetic would be awesome and I also have a taste for destruction in my Id. So I have to go with House Rogan.
House Rogan- Harmonizer
House Harrison – I want to communicate with animals for sure.
House Lattimer. Can’t remember exactly what they specialize in, but Michael is one cool dude.
I would belong to House De Trevino and be a dual Mnemonic and Geokinetic. I would maybe just have average mastery over earth but would have near perfect metal recall, of what I’d seen but would keep my prime status a secret.
I am from the UK
Definitely House Etterson; I can only imagine the amount of food that the people of the house get to eat on a daily basis, and while getting paid to do so. (UK resident)
House Baylor, it’s an eclectic house. I think I’d fit best there. US resident
House Ade-Afefe I feel like that would be super useful.
New Zealand
House Sherwood as a geokinetic. That would combine my love of plants and gardens with the control of the earth which would make gardening easier. It should allow me to provide and teach how to feed the hungry.
I’d like to be a sniffer. Not sure what house that would fall under. The idea of knowing there is magic being used seems very useful!
I would definitely pick House Harrison 🙂 I love animals!
I would want to be in House Harrison because who wouldn’t want to tell a cat to do something and have a chance they might obey.
I think I was immediately attracted to the idea of House Harrison and all the animals. However, I think I would likely be a Magister Examplaria instead of an animal mage. I live in the U.S.
I’d be in House Ade-Afefe if I could. I’m pretty tired of cold.
House Sherwood – I would have the power to make plants flourish. Mostly for food production and hybridizing. The ultimate green thumb.
House Baylor and I would love to be able to tell when people were lying like Nevada.
I’m in Washington in the U.S.
House Baylor please as a truthseeker. I am in the USA
I’d want to be in House Baylor as an Empath, Elenchus, or Antistasi.
US resident!!!
House Harrison. I’d love to be an animal mage and bond with an exotic animal
If I could, I would love to be a member of House Harrison so I would actually know what my vocal cat is trying to tell me.
(I’m in the U.S.)
House Lin, Truthseeker. Up to our necks in government contracts, got no time to play ‘house’ with the Houses. Minding our own business 🙂
House Baylor and I would a Siren Prime
House Rogan 🙂 – love lots of power
House Harrison – would love to be an animal mage:-) From Norway!
I would have to pick house Baylor, I relate most strongly to grandma Frieda. Except I like working on airplanes instead of tanks. ☺
House Collins; I love water! And with my last name it’d make perfect sense 🙂
USA
House Sherwood, and doing fungi but not like that crud Brian. Edward’s cool with his apples, and I’d be doing amazing things to make psilocybin passe. Like, wow, man. Using real magic to make really magic mushrooms.
Snicker. Thanks for the game.
House Ade-Afefe weather mages I would love to control the Wind I live in Queensland Australia
House Baylor and whatever powers Leon has. It’d be awesome!
House Baylor!
I feel like I work with a lot of Magister Examplaria-type people (computer programmers and data scientists). I also love patterns and puzzles, but work more to organize and direct that work . That’s a long way of saying that I’d like to work on managing their case workload and organizing resources/talents.
Hello from germany
For me House Rogan and as power telekinesis!
Hi,
Aerokinetic or teleporter in a peaceful House. If none exist, then House Rogan.
I’m in France.
Thanks for the giveaway.
Of the houses we’ve seen so far, probably House Harrison as an animal mage. But I wonder if there are any Jewish Houses out there with cool powers?
Resident of the US of A
House Harrison ’cause I have had cats all my life and I still don’t know what they are saying!
House: House Baylor (got to be)
Superpower: None
Superpowers seem to be more trouble than they are worth so I would like to be ordinary and skin under the surface. Providing support in the background. I make a great dinner.
But I would need to be part of House Baylor for no other reason than they are all so likeable and I think it would be great to spend time with all the Baylor’s.
I’m in Scotland hoping and wishing for an ARC
House Montgomery – an Illusion Mage for all those bad hair, does my backside look weird in this? days.
New Zealand
It would have to be House Harrison. I say that as I’m lying in bed with 3 cats and a dog. The other two dogs are lying on the floor. Maia being the one who snores so loud I fall asleep every night listeria to their audio books. (I told her that and she thought it was funny.) I’ve had every pet there is including tortoises, we always had a box tortoise in the house for the summer. No tarantula or snakes however due to extreme phobias.
Also my birthday is Friday so it would be the best present ever! And 13 is my lucky number. I’m in Austin so I could even pick it up., save on the mailing.
House Rogan. I would love to be telekinetic.
US resident
Definitely house Baylor. Mostly because I love a variety. It would get boring with everyone around having the same super power.
I’d be a minor Anistasi of house Smith. I’m in the US.
House Baylor as a truth seeker. USA. I’d like to be part of a pi firm.
House Sherwood – it would be great to try and solve climate problems by working with plants. Feed the world and make the deserts bloom. UK resident.
House Rogan, I’d love to be Telekinetic !! The fun I could have ?
I’m all about House Tremaine. Truth seeker would be an amazing talent . Think how many criminals you could get to confess. I am in the US.
House Baylor for sure! I am a truthful person, so it would be nice to know when others are being untruthful. Love the books and cannot wait to read the latest one!
House Harrison – I adore animals and I‘d love to be able to communicate with the ponies I care for, our bunnies, my boyfriend‘s cat, my best friends dog…
Although I‘m so lazy, House Rogan or Ramirez as a Telekinetic would be useful as well!
Greetings from Germany
House Harrison – love animals more than almost anything!!
House Baylor, Canada
House Rogan, I’d love to be Telekinetic !! The fun I could have ?
I’m Australian
House Baylor. A diverse house with integrity and ethics. I would want to be a truthseeker. I’m from Maryland USA.
I like the idea of being a pyrokinetic, but not being in House Pierce! So animal love wins. House Harrison and an animal mage. USA.
I would want to be part of house Baylor. They operate with integrity, competence, and compassion. Their power isn’t entirely about their collective supernatural powers. They’re family bond is strong-both biological and adopted. They welcome misfits without considering what could be gained from these relationships.
Definitely House Sagredo. In this crazy House society where one could be attacked at any time it would be good to have protection from mental attack. That would horrify me more than a physical attack. Bodies heal more easily.
I’d be part of the eclectic House Baylor. I’d love to be a healer. Since I’m a medical provider I can’t imagine doing anything else.
House Harrison because I am an animal trainer in real life for a club, a non-profit, and a shelter. Who wouldn’t think it great to actually know they understand me all the time, at least in my fiction life. US resident
House Harrison, I love animals. I’m in the US.
House Baylor because Nevada runs a smooth ship and I’d like to hang out with Bern.
(United States)
I’d be part of the eclectic House Baylor. I’d love to be a healer. Since I’m a medical provider I can’t imagine doing anything else.
US resident. (Didn’t know how to delete my other comment to include my country)
House Harrison! Would love to be an animal mage so I could talk to my cats. This seems to be a common wish…
USA resident.
If I could choose I’d take house Baylor. They are the most fun of all of them.
??
House Baylor. It would be interesting if one future child could have 3 abilities. I’m a Canadian resident.
It may be a bit cliche, but I would love the powers of House Harrison, what animal lover wouldn’t? I’m a US resident. 🙂
Definitely House Harrison because animals are the best! Unless there’s a House with healing powers, which would come in numbed 1 for me.
Oooh, decisions, decisions. Animals or plants? Gotta go with House Sherwood, such a chance of making something extraordinarily useful and new. I’m practically a carnivore and it could be difficult eating meat if you really connect with the critters.
I would be in House Rogan. My power would be telekentic.
Being able to move stuff around without touching it would be super cool. I could clean house from my recliner or cook supper or anything else I wanted. Oh! And the Super Hero stuff is, of course, a given.
House Harrison, I love the idea of communing with wild animals! I am a US resident.
House Baylor, because of their family bonds.
And I’d want the abilities of a Sagittarius, mainly cause I figure I could use it as a photographer to get the perfect shot of wild animals, finding them and perfectly capturing them with the snap of a shutter. Plus the marksmanship would help in protecting myself.
Location = Australia.
I think I’d like to be in house Montgomery. I’d love the power of illususion. Imagine how awesome you would be as a kindergarten teacher if you could create a swath of butterflies in a park for the kids to chase!
House Baylor, because they are an awesome family and a bit of a hodgepodge magically speaking. I would love to be either an aquakinetic or an oneiromancer — I think both of those could be really useful!
Country — USA
House Baylor. Because they are the heroes!
House Baylor. And I’d be invisible with the ability to make anything I touch invisible. And I’d be a dark horse with Leon. Can u imagine how unstoppable we would be??? I live in the USA
House Harrison – really liked the pied piper backstory AND would love to control an army of raccoons with flame throwers on their backs 😉 -from Germany
I’d like to be a cloaker from House Montgomery!
Without doubt I would wish to be House Harrison. I already empathise with animals better than people. To live in a world where that would not be considered abnormal would be awesome.
UK resident
House Harrison, due to my love of animals and my feeling of being able to connect with them. I would also be inclined to be an Empath House but none was listed.
I would want a cross of Therionologist and Empath to fix the divide that most of those house seem to have with people.
House Sherwood. I would love to play with plants and nudge them to grow. In the USA
House Harrison!!! How amazing would life be if I could hang out and communicate with all kinds of animals all day. (USA)
I would be part of House Pierce and I would control fire. Promise to be more responsible than Adam.
U.S. Resident.
House Harrison because I would like to be an animal mage . I live in Brazil.
House Rogan, telekinetic
US resident
I would be House Harrison. Animals are awesome and I wouldnt mind a pretty blue one from the arcane realm either! Yippeee!!!
USA
House Sherwood
People always need to eat and have access to medicines.
Plus there is a lot that can be done with Biotechnology.
Can’t wait!
I would want to be a member of House Ade-Afefe and control the weather. (US resident)
For me it’s a toss up between house Baylor and House Rogan. I love the thought of being a telekinetic and I love that Rogan has loyalty for his people outside of it being for the good of the house. Also I love Rogan’s Mom.
I think that in the end I would choose House Baylor because they love each other and are there no matter what. I also love the three rule that they follow.
House Rogan, telekinesis, because sometimes I just wanna be lazy and also because I’m short and being able to get stuff from the top shelf would be awesome 🙂
I would like to be House Rogan. I would love to be able to be telekinetic. (US)
House Harrison or Baylor. It’ll be great to be able to communicate with my puppy! And I like that Baylor isn’t a specialised house 😀
Definitely House Harrison, I far prefer animals to people.
House Harrison or Baylor. It’ll be great to be able to communicate with my puppy! And I like that Baylor isn’t a specialised house ?
Australia
House Harcourt and a summoner because it sounds like a fascinating talent. I live in the US.
House Baylor as it’s a very eclectic house where family and friends are valued and protected. I would choose to be healer if possible. I live in the US
House Harrison – I have so many questions for my dog and I’d love to talk with other pets to find out how people really are behind closed doors.
(USA)
House Harrison – relating to people doesn’t come naturally to me, but I’ve learned through body language and tones how to read people. Animals, on the other hand, have always been my jam. Show them love and affection, take care of them, and keep them trained for good quality of life for you and them, and they’ll devote themselves to you.
I’d probably end up in an animal rescue and rehab center.
House Baylor, I’d like to be Magister Examplaria
Thank you!
Lynne
I would love to be an Aegis in House Rogan – I know it is a telekinetic house, but I love the way their people interact with each other.
House rogan.. projections.. as real as possible.. with sounds, smell, taste…
Intan from Malaysia
Baylor, because they do the right thing
I think I’m in House Charles, Psionic. USA.
House? Why choose one of the documented ones? {Eyeroll} Hmm… House Nemo. They’ve got Dominus Piscibus Primes. Think Aquaman. Take that, House Harrison!
I think House Harrisson as I would love to be able to communicate with my cats as well as other animals. To be able to tell how they feel would be great. (Canada)
‘House Baylor’ of course!
The Best, I Got Your Back family, they love each other no matter what.
Power:
hmmmmm……..
I’m thinking …….
‘Happiness’
Yes, Happiness for a power!
(Hope this haven’t been chosen yet, didn’t take the time to read the other postings)
Yes the world could differently use a truck load of Happiness!
I feel like I should say House Baylor because I’m so impressed with Nevada as a character and the family dynamic, but I’m going to go with House Rogan because I’m so devoted to Conor – who doesn’t love a broken, slightly mad superhero in their life?!
I’m in Australia.
House Rogan, Telekinetic. USA
One of the antistasi houses. Nullifying magic sounds rather useful, blocking deflecting mental attacks too! Sagredo, and uhhh…
House Rogan, because who doesn’t want to work for Mad Rogan?
Magus Venenata – think how many bar bets you would win.
House Rogan.
I am tiny. Just imagine with a thought I could move buildings … Awesome !!!
House Ade-AfeFe. Weather mages. Such a beneficial and profitable talent. Would probably not be considered a threat (most of the time) and therefore not in confrontation with many other houses.
USA
Would it matter if the choice is from a house/power not mentioned in the books before?
If so, then I’d like to be a healer with a bit of water magic, from a small unrecognised House.
If not, then I’d like to have Micheals’ (the Record Keepers assistant) power, and belong to the Record Keepers House. Or rather be a Truthseeker with a tiny bit of empathic ability; to just be able to sense how others feel, and belong to House Baylor as an Employee.
I couldn’t choose between the two as both have such vast potential that make me giddy with exitement. Thank you so much for asking this wonderful question, and creating the lovely Hidden Legacy World.
– Love from Pakistan.
House Rogan. I am a Prime Shield. Conner Rogan best kept secret. I am female, age 17 , daughter of Conner’s military friend who died in combat and Connor’s ward Currently residing in remote location undergoing extensive combat and mental defense training. I am a US resident.
Definitely House Harrison. It would be great to work with animals.
International
House Rogan. I think it would be awesome to be able to move objects, etc without lifting a finger. They also seem an interesting lot.
Mmmm difficult choices! But I think I would like to be a Teleporter to go anywhere. And House Baylor for sure, but it could be interresting to be in House Forsberg and playing with fire behind their back.
I’m from Canada (Trois-Rivières in Québec)
House Baylor, Truth Seeker because I can not stand a liar.
House Collins. Aqua kinetic. I Love everything to do with water and the possibilities are endless;)
House Rogan to be telekinetic although being able to teleport would be awesome and save a lot of time!
US
House Harrison, animal mage. I love animals and the idea of communicating with them magically seem magical to me! Besides, Cornelius is awesome.
I would love to be an animal mage and be apart of House Harrison. The ability to communicate with animals would be awesome. House Harrison has power but is not so powerful that everyone wants to kill them.
House Harrison ! I would love to be able to communicate with animals !!
House Harrison – I want to commune with animals. Also, according to my friends, I’m already part cat.
(U.S. of A)
House Nightingale, love the name! I enjoy nature & would love to be able to work with plants for the greater good. BTW Wicked Scribes is a great site too.
Ooooh I really want to be a Prime Empath, I really think Rynda didn’t know what she was doing with her powers. But at the same time I want to be in a House that has a big family and are really tight knit! How do I chose between these two?!
If I have to chose I suppose I will go with House Baylor because I don’t think I can survive without a crazy loving family around me. And Catalina’s powers are after all the coolest in the family, so I chose Siren!
Oops. I forgot the last bit.
Definitely House Harrison, I far prefer animals to people.
A proud citizen and resident of the U. S. of A.
House Montgomery for sure. I’d like to delude myself in believing that I’m sneaky but I’m a rule-abider at heart. US resident.
Definitely House Harrison for the animal vibes. Thank you for organizing the giveaway! I am in the US.
House Baylor, because I would be a Magister Exemplaria and then I could work with Bern. ?
I’m in the US.
I think I’d like to be a Elenchus aka Truthseeker of House Rogan 🙂
Canada ?? ✌️
House Rogan. I’d want to help as part of the team. My power would be super sonic speed.
I would be house Harrison, animal mage all the way! I love their parts in the story and really really want to know what is up with Matilda! You keep having Nevada wonder why she’s there and the Harrison’s just smile like they’ve got a big secret about her!
Absolutely House Baylor – I would love to hang out with Grandma and learn machinery, hang out with Mama Baylor and learn how to shoot. It would be fun to investigate things and possibly see Nevada keep Rogan in line! LOL
U.S. Resident here.
House Harrison because I often love and spoil my dog more than my family!
I’d definitely be House Rogan! Not simply because he’s my favorite character, but his powers are right up my alley — moving anything and everything would certainly benefit my lazy side 🙂
I’m from Australia!
I would love to be a truth seeker from House Baylor!
I am from Massachusetts in the US!
I would like the be a member of House Baylor because you are accepted regardless of what power you have – or don’t have. I would like to be a prime truth seeker. Would be wonderful to be able to determine truth from fiction as long as I stayed away from today’s politicians of course.
House Sagredo. Antistasi Prime.
I’m in the UK.
My work is teaching me new things at the moment about creating things to automate stuff (simple process steps etc) so the way I feel right now I’d be an animator or a zoefactor. Probably animator as I get help with the really technical stuff.
House Harrison to be able to have the love and devotion of the animals would be wonderful. I am living in Australia
House Harrison. Not even an average-definitely a failed vector. But I’m the person that people call when they are having problems with their pets. “Your parrot is losing his feathers because he’s stress grooming from fear of your cat. I’ve talked to the cat, and explained that the cat doesn’t want to eat him, but he’s not having it. I think you will have to rehome one of them.”
Possibly I don’t understand how animal magic works, but I think that seems reasonable for someone who only has a bit of magic.
Les from the US
House Harrison is the house for me! I would love to be an animal mage. I think I would want to be a prime but work with the smaller animals like Cornilious.
I want to be part of House Baylor just because I wish that was my family! If only my family was half as close as they are. I want to be a Therionologist, cause I’d love to know what my dog is trying to say.
I think House Rogan. Telekinesis would come in handy.
(United States.)
I would like to be a herb mage/plant mage. I like growing things, however I don’t have the greatest luck especially with indoor plants. So I guess the House would be Sherwood
In case I messed up the first response:
U.S. Resident
House Harrison because I often love and spoil my dog more than my family and my power would be connection to animals.
House Shaffer
Magister Examplaria
Doing analysis as part of a government contract.
Israel. Still waiting to see if we end up having a government before the next elections.
I love Grandma Frida, so I’d have to go House Baylor. I’d want to have some cool, as-yet-undiscovered ability. I’d really love to interface with electronics and instantly “know” what the Net knows.
House Baylor I don’t know what the power would be but one that finds patterns in numbers so I can work as a forensic accountant on PI cases 😀
I am in Ohio USA
House Harrison For sure. I would love to be able to talk and control animals.
I would like to be a telekinetic and shielder in House Duncan.
House Harrison because Dr Dolittle was my childhood hero
House Baylor because I love the idea of being a truth seeker. If I could tell when someone was lying I could help those who actually need the help.
House Harrison. Herding cats is definitely a superpower.
I would love to be a part of House Montgomery, but I would like to be an illusionist with a little of Psionic magic so I could escape if needed.
I’m in the UK.
Not gonna lie, I would want to be a part of House Baylor or Rogan! But I’d actually be House Harrison, and an animal mage. I work with horses and own rabbits and it would be awesome to have that deeper connection with them.
House Harrison (I want to know what my cat really thinks…)
I would love to be an Elemantalist, probably water and air. And I would love to be in House Latimer, I just think the compassion that he showed to Nevada is amazing, but he is clearly well-respected by the house of Houston.
From the USA.
I would love to be immune to most types of mental manipulation. So a Antistasi from House Sagredo, maybe? Or an Elementalist!
Can’t wait for Catalina and Alessandro’s story! <3
USA
I’d love to Be part of house Sherwood as a plant mage. I’m obsessed with everything that grows and I’d have the most amazing fruit and vegetable gardens as well as so many exotic plants!
USA resident.
Definitely House Montgomery. I love the idea of being able to magically change my appearance based off of my mood, or for need of an investigation!
USA
Definitely House Rogan. Telekinesis is amazing power to have. Maybe also House Fosberg as hoopers because, imagine instant traveling!! Wish one day we can teleport…my Star Treck obsession is to blame here..
I am from Croatia.
House Duncan
House Duncan, mostly because I don’t know what their powers are and I’m curious…. so very curious. And I would like to be a harmonized. US entry
Edit: I forgot to add my place of residence the first time I commented! I am from the US
I would love to have control over posions! So because of this house Etterson! But if the ability can be deprecated from the house I would love to be in House Baylor for the wonderful chemistry the family has!
House Baylor, and a truth seeker. The truth isn’t always pretty, but I’d hands down prefer the truth to a pretty lie. I’m in the Uk.
International – Canada
House Harrison … i love the idea of communicating with animals.
Hi! I’d be in a truthseeker House though not one as scary as Tremains and be able to tell when someone’s lying. I’m very honest and already feel like it’s easy for me to see when someone is not being truthful or bending the truth. Thanks for the opportunity!
So I did Aarya’s buzzfeed quiz and I’m definitely an empath, but like… I really only want to be a member of House Baylor. 🙂
I’m a US resident!
House Montgomery. I’d be an illusionist not powerful enough to be a major player but powerful enough to be useful in small ways. I’m a US Resident
I’d like to be in House Rogan! Telekinesis would be a great power to have.
I would want to be House Ade-AfeFe for the connection with the world and it would be awesome to know when a tornado is on the way!
House Sagredo: I feel like feeling the turbulent forces of others and just blocking it out to do what need to be done is my strength. There might also be a little bit of a draw being of Italian descent and knowing that other players are on a different playing field with me… that’s powerful! (Pun intended!) Much thanks and epic hope!!!!
Definitely House Harrison! I would love to be able connect and bond with animals!
SPAIN (INTERNATIONAL)
I’m in Australia!
I’d be part of House Montgomery and I’d be an illusion mage!
House Rogan rules, my power would be healing. Not a wimpy must heal everyone, but having control to do surgeries that would be too dangerous if done the regular way. USA.
House Harrison-Animals are better than people and being comfortably wealthy instead of unseemly so sounds like a better way to avoid attention.
House Harrison! I would communicate with animals. I’m dying to know what my dog is thinking!
Firstly, thank you for this opportunity! I live in New Zealand, so will have my fingers crossed for the international draw…
House Sherwood is my pick – would get to help people and the environment at the same time!
Definitely House Sagredo. While physical pain is not something I would look forward to, being attacked mentally is far more frightening to me. Definitely want to keep the mind intact. Such as it is. So it would be good to have antistasi abilities.
USA
I would love to be part of House Sherwood. Though I would just grow trees and flowers all day 🙂
Spain. International entry
Oh! House Harrison. Animal communication.
USA person here.
Thanks for the chance.
Definitely House Harrison as an animal mage. At home I currently have a cat, 4 goats and 23 chickens. In the past we have also had dogs, ducks, rabbit’s, sheep, and fish. Needless to say; I come from a family of animal lovers and being able to communicate with them would be the best.
From the US
House Pierce. Pryokinetic
House Baylor – truth seeker. It would keep my students on their toes. Canada
House Harrison, I’m all about the animals.
US resident
House Baylor as a truth seeker. I’m in the U.S.
House Sagredo (Antistasi/Breaker) – I’m good at undoing things.
Plus everyone seems to think I am Italian but genetically (and culturally) mostly Northern France (with a dash of Native American) percolating in rural Louisiana for the last couple of hundred years or so. Yes I have heard the jokes, no we don’t think my parents are actually related (other than marriage), though, as a child, my Dad was told to stay away from the bareback riding, sharpshooting medicine man (cause if he was in a bad mood he might kill him) and my Mom just thought he was Grandpa.
US
I’d be a telekinetic because that’s what I always dream I am. Based on that then I’d pick house Rogan because Rogan takes care of his people and it’s in line with my power. I’m USA.
House Baylor because I like the idea of it being something of a random draw. Probably would be subconsciously hoping for the pattern recognition though…(US)
Empath in House Baylor as they are loving and understanding of differences and always family.
Canada
House Harrison as an animal mage. I love animals; they are honest and loyal. It would be fascinating to know how they think about life, and how different animals handle things. . I am US based.
Temperament-wise, I’d probably be a Metamorphose mage like Arabella in House Baylor. I’ve been known to have my own temper volcano that luckily only erupts every once in a blue moon.
I’m in the US.
House Latimer
I think it would be interesting to be a strategic mage, a mix between Magister Examplaria and Magus Sagittarius.
Is magister male and magus female?
Country: Barbados
House Baylor cause they have some cool skills & I am in the Netherlands
House Harrison. I would want to comminate with animals. From the USA.
That’s a hard choice. But I think I would go with House Baylor. I like the idea of a crap shoot for what powers you might get. They have a wide range.
I’m in Paige, Texas.
I think that I would be a part of House Ade-Afafe and be a weather mage. Riding a tornado sounds pretty awesome!
I would be an empath. I would want to be a part of House Rogan if I got to choose, though I’m not sure if they have an empath branch of the family. I live in NC, USA
I think I’d like to be part of House Montgomery. I’d like to be an illusionist but, full disclosure, I would probably just end up using the power to subtly mess with people. Also, I like to think I’d be a super powerful illusionist but also a really inept one. Like, I’d get distracted after ten seconds working the magic and suddenly the image of a pizza appears ’cause I skipped lunch.
Oh, and I’m in the UK.
Definitely House Montgomery. Augustine Montgomery is somewhat of a mystery, and his new power is really fascinating. USA resident.
Hello, I’m from Japan!
I love animals so it’s House Harrison for me!
I’m overjoyed to see the number of souls yearning to support my House. We may seek you out at some point as we are willing to grow and all creatures deserve the selfless dedication you offer! I’m a shadow member of House Harrison and although I cannot disclose my real identity, I can tell you a little about myself.
My power manifested at an early age but it was a source of fear and isolation as it did not align with that of my birth House. Not until scant weeks before my fathers’ death, the father whom I adored and was closest to of all his children, did I learn he was not my birth father at all. Thus, I grew up hiding my power, so much so that to this day I remain a dark horse. Fitting, that.
My early, innate affinity with animals was also a blessing. Never truly fitting into social settings, despite my mother’s heavy-handed efforts to mold me in HER image, I found refuge and solace in the woods and meadows surrounding our family estate. I breathed the language of the wild creatures, sharing their emotions. Calming their hurts and fears equally calmed my own, giving me balance and a sense of familial connection I’ve never found in the human world.
At first, we spoke to each other in my dreams. There, I walked as one with the proud stag, loped among the wolf pack in shaggy abandon and screamed with power and delight above rainswept clouds with the eagles. At puberty, I was terrified when one day in a spring meadow, I experienced this out of body transformation while wide awake. I didn’t become the red-shouldered hawk with whom I’d been communing. Rather, it was as if she shared her consciousness, her spirit and view of the world along side mine. She retained her independent thought and movement but mine aligned with hers. Later, I learned how to ask of her this or that action and she accepted my requests, responding as fluidly as if the action were her own.
We are not aware, at this time, of any living animal mage who connects and merges with the animal psyche to this level and extent in their power.
Over the years I’ve shared this same communion of spirit from the tiny, ferocious voles to the mighty, equally ferocious grizzly. Always with the secret joy in understanding each glorious creature, their motivations and spirits. I’ve gone to battle for them and they have given back to me in spades, when entering a battle with me. I have lost them, too. Loss that crucifies me when their life force is torn away, leaving the grim burden of grief for having sent them to that death. Power such as this is never without consequence.
Thankfully, the joy and satisfaction in helping our wild kindred far outweighs the grief. I have established several foundations under which I am honored to serve – with small armies of volunteers who do SO much – in shelters and preserves for wildlife rescues/rehabilitation and sanctuary. We also serve our domestic brethren in retirement and foster sanctuaries, all on acreage I’ve been blessed to purchase and endow for this specific purpose. While my House name is on them, I remain happily in the background. It is enough, for me to know they exist, to see my fellow creatures there and to always, always know the incandescent joy of each life saved.
The full story of how I refuted my birth house and aligned with Harrison, the house of my blood, will wait for another day. But in sharing this brief window into my world, I pray it inspires you to pursue your dreams, believe in yourself and perhaps align with our house, yourself. You will always be made welcome. I hope one day to see you there!
House Baylor as a Siren. Based on the short story, that seems to be one of the most versatile gifts so far!
Hi I’m in the UK I would like to be in house Baylor but have arabella’s power of transformation (im a 5 foot 1 weakling it would be awesome to be gigantic and strong ?)
House Harrison because as a veterinarian to exotic animals as well as domestic, it would be awesome to be able to communicate with such animals as snow leopards and giraffe as well as the bushbabies and cats. Though as far as house cats go, that may actually be an unsettling experience. 🙂
House Harrison! I already like animals more than humans!
PA, USA
As much as I’m tempted to say House Baylor or House Harrison, because I like the members of those houses, I choose House Ade-Afefe.
I’d be part of House Harrisson. They are not the most powerful-so they are not constantly targeted by everyone but when it counts they can defend themselves. Also I love animals and am surrounded by them. ?
I’d say House Sherwood for the ability for medicine with the plants. I would love that.
US
House Harrison as a therionologist (animal mage). I definitely identify more with animals than people, but still try to maintain family bonds. Plus – ferret spies ftw!
US Resident…
I initially thought House Baylor, but after reading about all the houses, there is an intriguing quality to all of them, but if I had to choose, maybe House Ade-Afefe because being able to control the weather would be amazing!
House Harrison to communicate and work with animals
House Baylor because they are open to all types of people. And I feel that.
USA – House Harrison. They come through when it counts, but remain below the radar of the larger houses.
House Harrison -animal mage. Would love to ear what is going on in the minds of my fur babies. US
I’ll go with House Sagredo to have a chance at keeping my own mind safe (though there are no guarantees).
House Harrison, animal mage!
House Harrison, animal mage, since I’m a vet! Would be useful!
At first, I long to say House Harrison. Having a deeper connection and understanding of animals is just so damn hard to resist.
House Baylor wins out though. I love how they are a down to earth and humble family full love and trying to support each other and trying to survive. Siren would be my gift of choice. To be able to distract the way Catalina was able to distract by merely telling her story despite the danger to herself. If I could take people who were aggressive and rapture them merely by talking about clipping my toenails to stop violence that would be amazing.
International, Norway <3
From USA. House Harrison would be my choice. Animals are such a big part of our world, that being able to connect with them at that level would be awesome.
Based on who my family members would be – House Baylor all the way. Based on abilities – House Rogan because telekinesis could basically be adapted to do almost anything you wanted. Wanna Fly? Check. Too lazy to fold the laundry? Check. Need a snack… I think you get it 😉 (US entry)
I feel like i would fit in most with House Baylor. I would like to be able to put up shields on command. That way I could protect my family in need be. I am in the U.S.
International
House Harrison
Animal Mage
I’d say House Balor, because I like the idea of intermingling gifts and ensuring than not everyone is the same. Sure the gifts can be crazy, but that’s what makes it fun!
I love reading and knowing things, so I completely want to be a Mnemonic and be able to recall so many random facts. There weren’t any specific houses mentioned for this, but in one of the books they were lawyers for a house with another talent. I’m not sure if they worked for the house or were part of it, but if given a choice I’d be a Mnemonic for House Baylor, the rules they live their lives by are great!
U.S. Resident
House Vidente. I’d get glimpses of the future and play the odds only to fall to my own hubris.
It’s so me.
Also I’m Canadian so I’d always be apologizing as I warn of potential events.
Sorry, your about to lose your car. Apologies for interrupting but your about to be hit by a bus. Etc.
House Rio because they are successful. I want to be a Herbamagos because plants make my heart sing.
I’m thinking House Baylor. I prefer Nevada’s independence to being one of Rogan’s army.
House Ade-Afefe To control some of the absolutely bonkers weather lately!
I didn’t see it on the Wicked Scribes link, but I would choose Sturm or any other house with aerokinetics. I would love to fly!
US Resident
House Baylor for sure.
I would love to know when people are lying.
I also want to live in the warehouse!
Canada here.
Yesh!!! what house? my own! the Maze house! no 2 mazes are alike,
their powers are always different with the background from back in the day when the magic stuff started our Great great.. ext grandfather was a Tinker he messed with magic a lot unaware of what would happen to the offspring powers… There are always different and unique. from all sorts of ranges, Antimagic ( they can’t see it but can sense it. They can dismiss and Nullify it. Their not a well-known family since they keep it secretive but their decently well off.
—
There was another one I thought about..
House Rogan
while Nevada was pregnant with Vegas, Nevada felt it, her baby Vegas was going to be something truly special. Vegas can project cute images into Nevadas mind. After the birth, she did not show any things of having magic. then she started to manifest with telekinetic- wind magic having a teddy dance or something. Not letting anyone see her do it. Vegas is a shy girl and she could tell when people told the Truth when people lie to her and she hears their inner thoughts of the Truth, and When Vegas is a Teen pmsing 😀 the shit hits the fan!
and she “storms out” with her wind – telekinetic- magic she kept a secret all those years
—–
sorry, I have recently bought the books! ( I am on book 3 >.<)
I think I’d like House Baylor and to be a Magister Examplaria. I’m already a nerd and trying to solve puzzles is what I do. Doing it magically would be really cool!
House Rogan because they’re a bit of a powerhouse (ha-ha?) and is unashamedly use my Telekinetic powers to mess with people (on a small scale…).
Or House Harrison because *animals*
International
An elementalist for House Baylor. I know that doesn’t strickly fit into the lore but it would be great to provide that kind of protection for them.
From New Zealand
Herbamagos – House Sherwood
I absolutelt adore planting/garden so I think a Herbamagos house would probably be up my alley and of course the medical potential really appeals to me.
[ Singapore] Jing Ting of House Baylor, Elenchus, at your service.
I really admire the Baylors’ work ethic and their family spirit, i would give a kidney to be an adopted child of theirs. Also, lowkey into the whole Truthseeker thing, i awfully fond of honesty and it’s something i try to have as much as i can.
House Etterson, but as an elemental with airand water powers. Etterson, to help them expand, and they are good people.
US resident
? If my fantasy came true, I would be a member of House Harrison (married into the family). I would be a Prime geokinetic with secondary talent as a plant mage at the Notable level. Reasoning: With this combination of talents I could build a house of earth and grow my own food, herbs, and flowers. I could help others grow their own food too. I would avoid eating meat, since being in House Harrison would afford me close-up observation of the depth of feeling and intelligence in animals. Even though I would have no talent as an animal mage, I’d have a a menagerie of rescued animals. Does that sound like the most perfect life EVER? ?
House Sherwood, I’d love to be a plant mage.
House Duncan…. my powers are the strongest since my grandfather Linus, with a new twist on duality from my parental pairing……. 😀
House Montgomery, I would loooooove to be an illusion mage. I want to be a Prime Illusionist. Can you imagine, no more bad hair days, always looking gorgeous. Man … And I could totally do the private investing gig,
Hello from Romania
House Baylor, the ability to hit what you aim at is amazing. I’m in Texas, USA
House Baylor
Who wouldn’t want to be part of that family
Telekinesis would rock!
I’m in new Zealand
Thanks jo
House Hardcort,
I would summon some arcane pet, like Bunny.
US
I’m going to go with House Sagredo, they seem interesting and powerful, and I could use some mental magic. Perhaps my power would be to create magical void fields…
House Rogan – I am super lazy, so being able to move things telepathically appeals immensely to me!
Overseas reader ( Australia)
House Baylor because no matter what, they have each other’s back.
Though unoriginal, I am an animal mage all the way. Cats, like Diana, would be my specialty of choice. Though not my favourite animal, I most relate to them and could absolutely bond/strike an agreement. House Harrison appeals to me, especially Cornelius, for the few but deep bonds that he forms. House Harrison for the win!
Hailing from Canada. ??
House Baylor because I like their code of ethics. My super power would be luck. I would be extremely lucky and I would be able to transfer luck through love or steal it through hate.
House Baylor, and a truthseeker. As a prosecutor, that would come in really handy 🙂 I’m in the U.S.
House Harrison animal mage
This is a tough one. My initial instinct is to go House Harrison, I love animals and how awesome would it be to communicate with them. But I also like to read Tamora Pierce and Tris was my favourite so maybe House Howling or House Ade-Afefe in honour of her. No, I’m going to stick with Harrison and be the dog lady! I’m international, from London, UK.
I guess this would be under telekinetic – but I’d want to the ability to fix things (like take plastic out of the ocean and reform it or if you cut a piece of wood too short, meld another piece of wood to it)… so I guess House Rogan
House Sherwood Plant based. To be able to bring barren land back instantly, and make plants grow at astounding rate. Like Druids.
House Harrison. I’m not a people person. So animals would be great. Lol. Too bad theres not a house that can project imagination. Like other worlds. That would be cool.
h US resident
House Rogan because telekinesis is cool!
I’m from Australia 🙂
Thanks!!
House Collins because water is the home of my soul – thanks for the chance to win!
Montgomery I think. Illusionist magic is pretty cool. Feel like I should pick Nevada’s house, but the illusions are calling to me. ?
I’m tempted to say House Montgomery, because being able to use illusion would be kind of amazing, but I feel like it would probably have a very negative effect on my mental and emotional self. I think would have to say House Sagredo – in a world where magic can so easily deceive and debilitate, being able to negate it seems like it would be a truly useful gift, and perhaps (perhaps!) one without some of the morality issues inherent in the use of other gifts.
Australia
House Baylor, Animal mage
I would be House Harrison and animal mage. I was the child that asked for a llama for my 16th birthday instead of a car plus ferret badgers.
I’d want to be part of House Harrison and be an animal mage. I find animals much easier than people. And bonus, I’ve had pet rats before!
In the US.
Please include me! I am in the US.
I would pick Truthseeker in House Baylor because I’d like to know when someone is lying to me and also because the Baylors are loyal and loving. They wouldn’t abandon me if trouble came knocking.
I SO would like to be part of House Baylor. More down-to-earth and more exciting than the other houses. And because I am “of a certain age,” I identify with Frida . Although she may not have supernatural powers, she is kick-ass with mad mechanical skills.
House Sagredo! I would have loved be an Antistasi Prime.
From Turkey
I’d so be House Lattimer except I don’t know what powers they have in their house – I just liked that Lattimer was willing to help Nevada. So yeah House Lattimer and hopefully I’d have some awesome combat power. If not that I’d want to be House Rohan and have telekinesis.
And I live in the USA.
House Montgomery! Would be so cool to make people see things and also make yourself look like whatever you want to look like! Only downside if you’d have to deal with Augustine as the head of the house haha
(USA)
US resident. I would want to be in House Etterson. I think being a Venenata would be very interesting. I thought Runa was very funny in Diamond Fire and I am so happy she is back.
From the U.S.
House Baylor of course – they are the coolest kids on the block.
I would say my abilities would be as truthseeker and protector. If I could have a third talent it would be animal mage but that would be greedy.
House Harrison, being able to communicate with animals sounds like fun (Ireland)
House Montgomery. The power of illusion. I think you have to have a strong sense of self if you can change your appearance to anything you want. Also I’m pretty excited about the power to be invisible that was hinted at in one of the preview chapters!
I’m in Canada ??
From US. Definitely House Montgomery. I could be so sneaky impersonating other people. I almost said House Harrison but the disconnect they feel from actual people makes me sad. I couldn’t do it.
US resident… I would be House Harrison animal mage because I absolutely love all animals.
Yah I am going to have to go with the majority here and say House Harrison! Having a deep connection with animals would be amazing. Though I hope I would still be able to connect to humans as well. Hmm Otherwise House Rogan so I can be related by marriage to Nevada and throw things around with my mind 😛
Definitely House Harrison. My favorite part of Burn For Me was the raccoon and the sippy cup. Thanks for the contest.
US
Truthseeker from the House Baylor, no doubt. Knowing when someone lies to you is super cool and the Baylors are so awesome. Everyone in the family. I love them all.
And I’m from France!
I would be part of House Lin because you can never go wrong if you know the truth.
Hi, I’m in the good ole USA. I’d be part of House Baylor as a truthseeker also. Can be both offensive and defensive skill and knowing when someone is lying would be great!
House Etterson as a Magus Venenata, because I’m in pharmacy and what is medicine, but finely calibrated poison? I would have chosen House Baylor just for the tight-knit family, but the Ettersons also seem to care greatly for each other from the snippets we’ve been given so far.
House Harrison! I have always had pets. My sons routinely brought home the hurt or “lost” bird, raccoon, opossum and once an owl. I’ve nursed several pumps through parvo where even the vet was not certain they’d make it. YEP I’m all House Harrison.
House Montgomery. Being able to hide from enemy attacks or boring parties seems useful in that world
I would pick House Montgomery, mainly because I would want the ability to create the illusion of a clean house. I have a toddler living in my home and no matter how much I clean my house never looks clean.
I’d like to be a member of House Harrison, as an animal mage.
I’m in Canada
I would love to be part of House Harrison. To have that kind of connection to animals would be wonderful. Otherwise, I’d like to have powers like Rogan and be a member of his house. Thank you for this giveaway and I am so excited to read the book!!
House Baylor, cause I like the idea of a bit of everything. But as power goes I’d like grandma Freda’s with machines.
live in us
I would love to be a part of House Harrison. Being an animal mage sounds awesome.
I would be a pattern mage in House Baylor, because I already solve others’ puzzles on a daily basis — it would be great to do it with a magic boost! — and that family is so supportive of its members. Thanks for the opportunity to enter!
I would love to be an Aquakinetic so I guess that puts me in House Collins!
Thanks for this awesome opportunity!
USA
House Harrison. I would want to be a Therionologist, I think it is a very under used magic ability and very cool.
House Harrison animal mage – I’ve always wanted to be able to communicate with animals!
International – Australia
Illusionist – House Montgomery
I would love to change appearance and go visit places that are forbidden to the general public. And being part of an investigating house would be the cherry on the sundae.
Canada
House Harrison. I would love to be able to communicate with animals. Especially, my cat, who is currently limping around. I’d love her to tell me where it hurts. My vet is still trying to figure out what the problem is.
House Baylor of course – as siren.
I live in Canada
I think I would be in house Rogan. I would love to be able to move things with my mind. (I’m in the US)
Hi! I think I would love to be an animal mage but from House Baylor.
I write from Spain.
House Baylor ftw. Mind you, I only want to be a passive truthseeker. I have no desire to pick apart anyone’s mind but I really hate being lied to, so it would be nice to be able to tell when someone’s trying. And I’m from Canada.
Definitely House Harrison! I longed for an animal companion for most of my formative years and not much has changed in my adult years. 🙂 US resident.
House Harrison. Animals rule! (US)
House Sagredo! I would have loved be an Antistasi Prime.
I am from Georgia in the US
I’d like to be in House Baylor and help out with the investigations. I think I’d find the Magister Examplaria ability most useful in my day-to-day life, but my “I wish I could” ability would be teleportation 🙂
I would want to be in House Sherwood because I think it would be awesome to develop new medicines from plants. I also really wonder in what direction Edward Sherwood will take the House now that he is Head. I’m in the US. ?
Psionic and an orphan.
An orphan so that I don’t have any alliances and just surviving on my own. I want to be able to choose who and what my future would Intel.
If I could choose which house, I would choose House Harrison! I would love to be an animal mage!
US resident
I’d love to be in House Rogan … telekinesis would be amazing! I’m in the US.
House Sherwood! I would love to be a herbamagos! I have a pretty big garden and if I’m a herbamagos it would be so much more beautiful! Hello from Indonesia!
I’d love to be in House Rogan … telekinesis would be amazing! I’m in the US. Of course, I also love animals so being in House Harrison is my second choice.
I am going to be in house Montgomery as I am going to marry Augustine . Therefore I will come from a house not yet known with similar magic.. noone will see me coming I am just a figment of your imagination.
I am in the us.
I’d definitely be an Illusionist, of House Vidente!
I’d get ultimate privacy and anonymity, looking like whatever I wanted or even completely invisible, and being in a House of precogs means I’d have knowledge of future events and future nonsense to avoid, a win-win!
I have always been fascinated with telekinesis so I’d have to pick House Rohan, although a close second would be House Harrison as animal mage would be very helpful in my veterinary career
I’m in the US
House Rogan. I would Love to be tele kinetic Oh and I am in the U.S.
I’m torn between House Montgomery because being able to change your appearance at will just seems like fun. And House Harrison because ferret badgers just awesome ??!
I’m in the US.
I feel like House Baylor needs an illusion mage to counteract Augustine Montgomery, so that’s what I would want to be! I’m in the US.
Telepath for house Baylor, because the family is awesome and I always thought mind reading would be cool. From the U.S.
House Rogan and a prime Aquakinetic
Soooooo many to choose from! I think I would have to go with House Rogan as a telekinetic… I would love to be like Lenora Jordan though… Decisions decisions! Yep… Still gotta go with House Rogan. I’m in the US-California.
I’d say House Collins. I love the water and being an aquakinetic would be awesome. Oh and I like in the Philippines so international for me.
House Baylor! Love the family support. Animal mage as it would be so solo to have the extra unsuspecting eyes.
I’d like to be a Prime Plant Mage (herbamagos). I guess that would put me in House Sherwood. My focus would be finding ways to combat famine.
House Rogan, I mean telekinesis is not bad but really, I just want to be related to Connor and that in itself is power no? – From Melbourne, Australia
I would be part of house House Sagredo and be an antistasi, mental defense sounds really appealing :). I live in the U.S.
House Harrison- Animal Mage. it probably seems the least sexy, least interesting, least powerful, which is fine with me. Also noted that these mages are probably less social, less empathetic, maybe with other humans. I love animals. In many ways they are better than people. And still, an animal mage did figure prominently in this series. I would use my powers to help animals and the environments we all live in and be an advocate for peaceful and productive human-animal co-existence. Arizona, USA where the roadrunners have returned to our back yard.
House Montgomery. Illusion/Truthseeker mix. Not Prime in either, but capable of using them together.
I’m going with house Forsberg
Thank you!
I would definitely be from House Baylor. Long lost cousin who is a mech mage. That way I can just build all my own equipment that I need for my research, I am an archaeo- geophysicist in need of survey tech and vehicles on a regular basis. Also, currently sitting in the last air conditioning I will have for the next 2 months while I work on my research and act as an instructor for a UT field school in Belize.
USA here. House Baylor for because they are all unique in talent and quirks. They need a fabrication mage. That would be me.
House Pierce. You never know when things need to get hot. I’m in the USA.
I would be in House Harrison. I have a much stronger connection to animals than I have to people. Pretty sure my cat and I actually converse. In the U.S.
House Rogan.I love Connor Rogan and would love to have powers similar to his Telekinetic powers.
I am from “India”.
I would choose House of Harrison…I love animals. I live in the US
I would be house Montgomery. I like the idea of being able to hide behind an illusion when I don’t want to be bothered.
I’d want to be a telepath in House Baylor. I ❤️ their family ?
I’m in the US
I’d like to be House Sherwood. I have a black thumb so the thought of being able to grow anything is super cool! In the US
House Tremaine: I understand Nevada’s decisions on making her own house for her family’s safety. However there is some major lost history and knowledge with the death of the house.
I’d like to be a prime in House Sherwood. I want to be a plant mage, so I can make my gardens flourish and bloom here in Maryland…
and get rid of black spot on my poor climbing roses.
I’d have to be in House Harrison and be a therinologist – I’d love to be able to communicate with animals! However, I’d also like some sort of latent emphatic abilities to show up in my world, as well. I’d prefer to be underestimated from those in the outside world . . . and I often prefer animals over people because I never feel like I truly know what another person is thinking 🙂
Has to be House Harrison. Who doesn’t want to hang out with animals all day long, and get paid to do it. Best job ever. I’m from New Zealand.
I get so much satisfaction from nurturing and watching things grow in my garden, and knowing the things I grow can feed my family and help support bees, birds, and other wildlife. So clearly herbamagos for me! I don’t know if I could deal with Rynda Charles though, so maybe not House Sherwood. ? House Rio might be a better choice for me. I live in Seattle, WA.
I would be a long-lost cousin from House Baylor who would be a dark horse that no would see coming. I’d be a Null, but I’d also carry Siren abilities that would put me at Significant that no one would be able to test or see. Like Catalina, I’ve had to learn the hard way how to hide in plain sight.
House Rogan. I would be a Magister Exemplaris. I’m in the UK.
Thank you for having this giveaway.
House Sherwood. Power to grow a cancer cure in grapes or bananas
House Montgomery. I’d love to be invisible or cast illusions.
House Harrison – I already talk to my animals so it would be nice to be able to understand them better. I think it would be funny to have the power to be an animal psychiatrist.
To a dog: Why do you keep chewing your owners shoes
Dog: Well, Jess thats a great question… because its fun and I have deep concerns about where they have been.
I am from Adelaide, Australia
House Harrison. I would love to have that kind of special connection with the animals.
I’m from Romania.
Gotta give some love to House Rogan. Telekinesis. I live in the US.
House Montgomery. I’d love to be invisible or cast illusions. Maybe for crime… maybe for good.
House Ade-Afefe. Being a weathermage would be a blast if I didn’t accidentally kill myself. US PLEASE. Способа!
House Baylor because they have a unique combination of gifts. I’d want to have something unique as well. I think I’d like the something like Catalina, but on a lesser scale for sure.
I’m in the US!
Torn between Baylor and Harrison. Nevada’s talents are very cool, but I REALLY love animals. So to be able to communicate with them would be really cool.
House Sherwood — ability to grow trees — help fight deforestation
US resident
I’d be an aquakinetic from house Collins — I love the water!
I would be a technologist, with ability to control computers and electro mechanical systems. That seems to be an offshoot of the telekinesis abilities of house Rogan.
I’d LOVE to be a part of House Harrison. I’ve been around domestic animals all my life and admired wild animals from afar. I love the connection between the animals and the people of House Harrison and how their natural talents are shaped to become incredibly useful. Having had the most wonderful Doberman as part of my family when our daughter was born was also an easy way to connect to this house.
Herbamagos from house Sherwood. Focusing on small plants and herbs and any medicinal properties they may possess. From Australia.
USA Here…
I’d think a minor house would be fine… one that winds up being put through the meat grinder… super-fast healing and minor psychokinetics to ensure that I’m reliable, re-usable and hard to kill.
Whoootoooo, thanks for hosting another giveaway. House Rogan for the telekinesis powers. Too bad none of the houses have flying powers.
USA entry.
Elementalist in House Baylor, coz that’s the best house….and I would like having more than on trick up my sleeve.
I’m in Australia. 🙂
Strong telekinetic of House Rogan! I feel like I’d be the weird, overly happy cousin who always annoyed Rogan because I’m way too affectionate (always trying to hug him), but sometimes he’d need me to help him solve some cases and I’d definitely do it for free. Rogan’s rich af, but he loves free stuff so… 🙂
Fingers crossed and man I wanna win so bad! I’m from Bali, Indonesia.
House baylor and I would be a siren. From USA California
I would be Mad Rogan’s long lost aunt with mega teleportation skills.
House Harrison, because who wouldn’t want to be an animal mage?
House Harcourt all the way. but w/a twist I also want to be an antistasis. Think of it like a major and minor in college. I’d be able to summon mysterious or magical people/objects but I could void your magic so you wouldn’t be able to defend yourself or know if what I had summoned was real. It’s a perfect combination!
I would be in House Harrison as an Animal Mage. It would be amazing to be able to connect with animals at deeper level and there would be so much mischief!
I live in Canada.
House Rogan, because Rogan! But I would like to be a Therionologist. I am definitely friendlier with animals than I am with people. 🙂
I am in the US.
House Harrison as an animal mage…just like I am now lol
House Harrison. We are animal people. Hubby is a vet. I met him when I worked as a vet tech. We owned and operated a boarding kennel for 27 years. On the property of the kennel, we had goats, sheep, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, rabbits along with our dogs and cats. I compete in dog sports. It would be really nice to communicate with my dogs so I could understand what they are thinking and why they are making the choices they make.
I live in the US.
This US resident would be part of House Harrison. I’d be an animal therapist to help them deal with all the crappy things people do.
House Rio. It’s almost summer, so we all need delicious tomatoes!
I’d have to say Baylor. They are just good people. I like to think of myself as good 🙂
House Baylor! I would be Magister Examplaria. No, seriously. I’m kind of a pattern “mage” now. I was so inspired by these books & Bern’s work that I actually ended up making a career change. I quit being a lawyer and now I program computers to detect all kind of patterns.
I would be an Aquakinetic from house Collins. I have an affinity for water. I live in the U.S.
Definitely House Harrison as an Animal Mage. Lord knows I’ve watched enough Dr. Doolittle.
I’m in India.
House Sherwood, plant mage.
That would be House Harrison cos animals and me – best buds!! ?
I’m from Singapore.
I’d want to be apart of House Sagredo and be an Antistasi because I want the ability to protect and nullify what makes others dangerous and powerful.
I would love to be a Magus Venenata. I find poisons fascinating. I would like to be part of House Etterson. They could use a few more members. I’m in the US.
House Baylor. I would be a truthseeker because I have a 12 year old son. Also I would like to be dual and be able to shoot with deadly accuracy. Who wouldn’t?
Everyone in House Baylor is a wonder!! Looking forward to the book. Love and support from Taiwan ?❤️
I would be in House Harrison as an animal mage!
I am a descendant of House Molpe, ranking Significant in Siren / Truthseeker abilities with random PreCog flashes that occur moments / seconds before the event.
I live in the United States.
House ?? Dream prophecy. Yes I make my money being a sleepy bum. USA
House Montgomery. I’ve always been interested in investigations and who doesn’t love a little illusion?
I’ve already Pre-ordered the audio but I’d LOVE to have the ARC! I’m in Australia.
House Ade-Afefe. Weather mage. My speciality would be bringing in the fog. USA CALIFORNIA
I would be in House Etterson so I could be a cousin to Runa (who’s amazing!) 🙂 I’d be a Sniffer with a very weak second of Magus Venenata. Of course I’d be tagging along with Runa on some of her missions for house Rogan! My sniffer abilities would help lead us to clues that cracked any tough cases.
I’m in the US.
I’d be in House Baylor. Even if I didn’t have magic, I’d be in the midst of the action in that household! I live in Canada.
First, thank you for your wonderful story telling! Second, in the US, Antistasi (would prefer no one can mess with my mind) and like many others, House Baylor, because family – enough said 🙂
This one is interesting. I’m us.
I think I’d pick House Collins. Lots of interesting mythology there to lean on. Maybe I’m just plain Posey Collins. Posey likes to present herself as a dilettante. She’s traveled to various schools and has riddled her wall with a few degrees by now. A doctorate of marine biology and climatology is what she admits to. Working for the NHS and just wanting to avoid ever using her magic is a life goal. After all, being one with the water cycle rejuvenates, and she’s desperately trying to get some gray hair to be taken seriously. Of course, there are downsides to avoiding her magic. The tales of a quiet sea turning suddenly turbulent are as old as time, nearly as old as the Collins family.
D lm A;
Accepted for fostering by House Harrison after surviving a flash flood that killed the rest of her family. D followed the decisions made by her parents and has not revealed to Head of House Diana that she has dual powers, Arcane & Mental. She is registered as Antistasi, Significant but is also a Summonitor, Prime.
Her parents, research explorers a prime herbamagos and a significant animal mage were quietly investigating the twisting of the gene pool that resulted in her powers as genetically she is theirs. The Twins, her siblings were both primes registered one of each, bodies were not recovered.
The aloofness of House Harrison, animal mages all, is a security blanket that cocoons her from her trauma … but she
I would want to be house Harrison as an animal mage. I would just love to be able to keep my dog from waking me up at 6 on the weekends. Just a small magic, I am not greedy.
House Harrison, Prime Animal Mage, so I can commune with ferrets, arcane monster felines, et al.–USA
House Baylor, animal mage. US
House Baylor as a siren. I am in Australia.
I would like to be part of House Harrison and be an animal mage. It would be nice to be able to “herd cats”! I live in the USA.
House Harrison. I’d love to be able to communicate with animals. I’m from Canada.
Flame would be my choice. Probably because I ‘m reading about dragons right now.
I would like to be a precog from House Vidente. I think it would be scary to see the future, but I’d love to be able to change things so bad things didn’t happen. I live in the US.
House Rogan and Animal Mage!
Telekinetic prime of House Rogan because then I can lie on the couch and not have to move when I want something. And House Rogan because in the Game of Houses, you play to win or you die and I want to cocoon myself in Rogan’s money and power.
As much as I want to say metamorphose of House Baylor (I am DYING for more Arabella!)…. I think the real answer is an animal mage in House Harrison. I feel for Cornelius, and I understand that they have unique issues connecting with other people. But I so admire Cornelius and Diana for making a big effort to be a family beyond their bonded animals. I think they will outshine their parents and set a great example for Matilda. I’m in the US.
House Tremaine! I wanna be a brain melter!
House Baylor because they are new and making their own rules, but I would want a healing talent.
I live in the US. Thanks for the giveaway!
Animage with house Harrison! I live in Canada!
I would like to be an animal mage with house Harrison. I am in the U. S. Sharon
I agree with House Baylor because they are good. I live in the US.
I want to be a member of either House Molpe or House Baylor. My superpower would be mind control. I’ve always wanted to be the evil queen that makes everyone do everything she wants or give her everything she wants.
Thanks for offering the ARCs! (!!!! Whee!)
I am so in love with your series and you keep getting better.
I’m back to re-reading. One of the scenes that I love the best is in “Iron & Magic,” where Hugh et al. offer flowers to Erawan. That is so beautiful and such a great counterpoint to the more grisley scenes, and I love how you’re bringing in greater diversity in how your heroes win in their various adventures.
And as a by-the-way, one of the short stories that I liked the most was when Kate offers the cat a bowl of milk in “A Questionable Client.” Just a perfect counter-punch!
So … House Baylor. I oscillate between Catalina (when I want to be loving and loved), and Arabella (when I’m pissed at the world).
On other matters … not surprising that you’ve just had a low-energy moment. Your life has been a bit demanding over the past year + that I’ve been reading your posts.
Writing is grueling. It’s exhausting. You’ve been on a hard schedule for long while now, and bit-swapping between major books / characters / story-arcs. This is HUGE.
I write also. In the middle of the third. Writing can be uber-fulfilling, and its also like putting an IV line direct into a vein and feeding the book with blood / life force.
So you’ve just had a whole lot going on, and really, not much recoup time.
I so totally love that you’ve kept the blog going through all this. I love connecting w/ you, Gordon, and famille through all this. You’ve inspired me to be regular w/ my blogging, even when I feel that I don’t have much to say.
You’ve also inspired me to be more open and personal in my blogs, and to recognize that I truly have a tribe-in-formation.
Your tribe loves you.
Xoxo – A.
Have to be honest and go with House Madero. My family grows members larger than average, and a good chunk of us make our living doing manual labor. I wouldn’t say that we have been getting significantly dumber through the generations though, we actually are fairly tech savvy.
House Harrison I’d love to bind with animals! Canada
I’d like to be part of House Harrison, Animal Mage, and I’m in the US.
Thanks for all the great reading you two have supplied me with over the years!
Anne-Marie
Definitely an Herbamagos from House Sherwood (without all the kidnapping and murder plots). I love gardening and growing things, so the magical ability to cultivate plants sounds so intriguing.
I’m in the US.
House Baylor and my power would be Nevada’s. The job I do, it would definitely cut down on the foolishness of people thinking they can get away with the less than factual information they provide. And of course being part of House Baylor brings House Rogan right along, so BONUS! ?
House Sagredo or House Baylor, but definitely an antistasi mage. Your mind should always be your own.
USA
House Rogan,
I would be an Ice Mage. An old family secret.
USA.
I would have a mix of Precog and Observer abilities. This would allow me to assess a situation, where it mostly was going, and the possible outcome. Where by i could change the outcome by moving something , interacting with people, endless possibility’s. But i would only have a 65% success rate. We all have limits.
I wouldn’t be in a house (orphaned) but wouldn’t be know by houses for my safety. This would reduce me to be a common sometimes lousy thief.
I think either a Breaker or a Herbmangos. I am not sure which house I would want to be in though. Montgomery? Maybe a smaller lesser known house?
I live in Canada
Based on House dynamics, I would want to be a part of House Baylor because they all love each other even though they also drive one another crazy. And of course, for the antics (to be honest, I am here mostly for Grandma Frida ?). Of the powers in House Baylor, I would probably go with Metamorphose because it would be totally awesome to be able to transform into some kind of creature, although the Antistasi power would better match my personality since I am so protective of my family.
(United States)
Telekinetic of House Rogan! Think of all the stuff I’d be able to do while sitting down, reading a book. Multitasking at its finest. ^_^ (USA)
House Sherwood as a plant mage, given my biologist parents, though if it weren’t genetic I’d pick something a little sexier!
As a ‘plant person’, I would like to be a Herbamagos (House Rio, as we don’t know too much about them – yet!).
I am based in the UK.
House Montgomery. Telepath. Hailing from Germany.
USA: Rogan
I would have to good with House Harrison. I love all my animals (I am a vet after all). But to be able to connect with them that way would be great.
Thank you for the book. I love your stories. I will be House Baylor and a Trueseeker. It will be easier in my work.
Marie-Pier
Canada
House Baylor I don’t remember what Bern’s younger brothers talent is but awesome protector! I’m in the U.S.
I’m from the United States. I agree with Harrison. I would love to have the connection, and you could probably hide your ability.
House Baylor–I’d be Magister Examplaria like Bern!
I’m a US resident.
House Harrison because animal mage suits me best. I don’t always get people, but animals are straightforward and easy to love. I love spending time with animals, my dogs in particular. (my medium weight German Shepherd mixes that make excellent protection animals.) Only people I love more than my dogs are my kids and husband!
I would be an off the charts Prime Enerkinetic glowing with raw arcane magic. Of course i would be the head of my own house with a huge security/protection company.
I would be House Lin, since that is my surname. Plus being a truth seeker would be awesome.
I live in Canada.
I would love to be in House Harrison as an Animal Mage being able to communicate with animals would be my idea of heaven. I’m from Tasmania Australia.
I’d have to be House Howling just to be fulgurkinetic . I’ve always been fascinated by lightning…..and I would like a secondary ability to be counter – illumination
Counter-illumination is a method of active camouflage seen in marine animals such as firefly squid and midshipman fish, and in military prototypes, producing light to match their backgrounds in both brightness and wavelength.
House Harrison, Illusion. I’d like to be able to change how I look to suit my mood. The house also does investigations, which I like.
House Baylor for me. Family is so important to us. We love and respect each other. Would do anything for each other.
Power wise, telekinesis would be the one I would want. The power to stop and move objects. Protect those around me.
Katie, Western Australia
Oh!!!! I would want to be a Breaker! And I think I’d fit best into House Baylor, No. 1, because I come from a big family with lots of siblings, and NO. 2, because I feel like a Breaker is compatible with a Truthseeker…they see the hex and break it to get back to the true person. 🙂
An animal mage of House Harrison! There are so many things you could do with and for animals, including keeping them from becoming extinct… I’m from Spain.
How Baylor. Just cuz I want to hang out with Grandma. I’ll be their Animal Mage.
From US
Hmm I think I’d like to be in house Rogan. And a telekinetic, but rather then have huge power and strength I’d go for having telekinesis that allows for manipulation on a molecular and atomic level. Therefore I could manipulate a huge variety of things, from metal, to liquids etc. Hmm just think of how powerful someone like that could be. But they might seem like a dud power wise to others. Sneaky almost. Could have implications for helping research and medical things too.
Oh and I’m from middle of nowhere outback Australia.
House Baylor because the family actually loves each other and they haven’t been taken over by all the house politics yet. I would want Nevada’s power.
Animal mage of House Harrison
I’d love to be in house Sherwood. I have two black thumbs and would love a beautiful garden.
My first thought was a Therionologist, animal mage, because animals seem to flock to me and I would like to bind with my animals. That would be pretty cool.
But then I thought about it some more and I might rather be a tactile, so I can use it on myself…I’d never leave my house. Lol.
I’m in the US.
Thank you all for creating such amazing worlds for me to escape to. Its kept me together through some tough sh*t.
oop…from usa …
Magister Examplaria with a minor secondary in Herbamagos, and I would work as a librarian for House Montgomery. I live in Texas too.
House Montgomery – have always wanted a big brother and Augustine Montgomery seems like a sweetie. Thank you, from Sydney, AUSTRALIA.
I would want to be a member of House Harrison. I’m a huge animal lover and I have trained my dogs to help me. Since I was diagnosed with leukemia my dogs have been my cancer buddies. My little one stays by my side and when I’m having a bad day shes ther for emotional support. My big dog has been trained to help me when I fall. It happens too often but it a part of healing. My little dog let’s the big guy (if he isn’t already in the room) know that I’m hurt. Then my big guy taps my shoulder with his paw until I respond, if I don’t respond after 4 taps he licks my face until i wake up. Then he lays next to me to help me sit up and he sits in front of me to stand. I don’t have the abilities of House Harrison but that would 100% be my house.
Thank you for this amazing chance,and I’m from America
House Baylor as a Truthseeker. From Brazil.
An American Love Child, a lost lineage of House Sagredo. This lineage surfaces later. Paternity proved, skill and magic revealed.
House Sagredo. I’d want to be a Antistasi prime. This way I’d be impervious to will based magic.
Defensive magic would be the most appealing to me, power that could do harm is too easily used to do harm, even by people who mean well. (Rogan kidnapping Nevada and chaining her to his dirty basement floor)
Much as I love House Bayor, I’d go with House Harrison as being an Animal Mage really appeals to me especially binding with big cats! I’m one of your fans in the UK ☺
House Baylor, because unlike a lot of the other houses, they have great morals and ethics and loyalty. I would love to be a random cousin with hidden significant empathic talents because i think they would be interesting to know what others are really feeling around you and i think it would compliment the talents already in House Baylor.
on another note, THANKS FOR WRITING SUCH AWESOME STORIES!!. i’m a librarian and i always recommend your books.
House Maduro. Who wouldn’t want to tryout a completely different skin! Able to reach things not only on the topshelf, but in the rafters. Slings & arrows of snide colleagues just bounce off your thick skin. Ideally I’d like to have the power to teleport but takes too much brain power. So, a hopper I’ll be. After all, smart is overrated.
House Harrison. Being an Animal Mage would be amazing. Nothing like the ability to summon a mischief of rats or a murder of crows to sic on people. ?
I would love be a mixture of two houses, my parents would have been a House Maderos and Herbamagos. I would be a house enforcer who would be huge and could toughen my hide but also have a secret hidden talent where I could use spores in the air or plant matter to grow appendages from my armor, that would give me extra “hands” or “legs” so I could defeat my enemies. Muah ha ha ha ha!
I love plants, so I think I would have to go with House Sherwood. (As long as Brian wasn’t in charge. Being able to grow plants like that would be awesome. Think of all the deforestation you could reverse!

I would be House Baylor for sure! I would also like to have the truthseeker, but would take anything really….love this series!
House Harrison. Being an animal mage would be awesome!
House Harrison is a solid choice for me. I love animals, have no fear of animals -respect, not fear- and have helped train many different friends’ pets because their animal would listen to me. I had only ever owned fish and a hamster myself! 🙂
I would want to be in House Harrison. I love animals and think that they already speak to us no verbally so to have a deeper connection would be awesome. Also to have them get along with each other would be great. From WASHINGTON USA
I’d be a prime and make my own house! Though House Smalley doesn’t sound great……. and my power would be making things that are not as if they are! Boom magic! Or maybe like Dali and write stuff down to make it happen. That might be a little more realistic. Lol!!
Really stuck between House Harrison and House Collins (only bc of the aquakinetic abilities, not their story line)
I’m almost 100% sure my husband (we live in the US) would want to be an Aerokinetic, but since we aren’t having kids, I’m not too worried about being an elementalist myself. So my choice would be Illusionist with House Montgomery
House harrison training service and therapy dogs, creating bond with their person.. I’m in the US
I am Snappe and I would marry Splata of House Howling because she really makes me crazy when she looks at me in that way and smiles. My Family have always been shifters of the FurFang tribe and I have carried a torch for Splata ever since she took me prisoner during a raid on our family compound several years ago.
She took me back to her caravan for…. Nibbles, Itches, and Scratches… and this was really turning into the real deal for me – I thought I belonged to Splata and she loved me for the Pawsa that I am….. We were planning to start our own Tribe! Then her brother Slye came home and ruined everything. I was cast from a cliff by Slye and his gang of flea bitten friends into the nearest River at flood stage…
By the time I returned – Spalta and her Den had been forced to move on to….? So now I am Searching everywhere for any trace of that wiley creature who stole both my heart and my Smartphone…. Have you seen her?
I’d want to join Nevada’s House Baylor – I’d love to be part of such a diverse family and would love to be part of their journey as they establish their house. As for the talent, i’d either want to be a Magister Examplaria like Bern – so cool to be seeing complex patterns that others cannot and also will come in handy in the age of big data; or an Aquakinetic – the world and our bodies are mostly made up of water afterall. Sending love to you and yours all the way from the Philippines!
This is a hard one! So many good choices. I think I’d have to go with House Baylor, and the truthseeker ability. I think it would be pretty cool to never be able to be lied to!
House Harrison. I am on my 4th Labrador. I would love to know what she is thinking when she gives me kisses?! I live in the U.S. also.
I would like to be in a lightning elementalist house. I would have a specialized version of the power which would allow me to teleport within a storm. I am picturing a Raiden type situation.
HOUSE BAYLOR ALL THE WAY!!!
I’d say I’d like to have the power to negate any power! Like a null. LOL.
Avid fan from the Phillipines here!!!
I think I would choose House Sherwood as I am interested in both medical research and gardening.
So many wonderful choices. In real life I am more inclined to Empath abilities and animals.
But this is the fun part…imagining….after much debate and fantastical arguments with me, myself, and I the final answer is:
House Harrison
Animal mage with secondary powers as an elementalist ( air + water).
I would be kick ass strong but lack the motivation to play the game with the elite Houston houses so would down play my abilities unless it was to protect or defend family (animals included) and friends.
USA
House Baylor. i don’t mind being their less magnificent sister. I love this family, i can help Grandma Frida working on tanks.
I’d pick house Collins! Aquakinetic heck yeah! I’d walk all over the ocean floor to see what creatures I could find? maybe find Atlantis? Also I’d be unbeatable in a water balloon fight (payback is a bitch D.C. – you know who u are!!!)???
Oooh awesome question! I think I’d like to be a telepath in House Baylor! It would be a thrill to be a part of that quirky family!
Hands down I would go for House Baylor – I think it is quite exciting to be an emerging House with these other powers in the mix. Not that I want to be an assassin but am thinking Leon’s power would be handy if I were in action movies. (Philippines)
oops.. forgot to put the country.
House Baylor. i don’t mind being their less magnificent sister. I love this family, i can help Grandma Frida working on tanks. i am in Australia
House Ade-Afefe, I love the weather magic! I would love to be a storm mage!
I would be whatever Lenora Jordan is and I would be in House Montgomery. I would love to have chains appear on demand in real life! Lol!
House Baylor! I’d want to be Nevada’s unknown cousin with the Prime power in healing ( not sure that exists but Baylor likes to be unique) and a minor power in the Siren category. ( cause this single mom could use some help)
House Baylor/rogan/harrison because I know them and respect them. Either animal mage as long as i find someone to connect with, Magister Examplaria, or hopper. Not too picky.
House Rogan. Telekinesis would be so helpful, it would be fun to be able to move whatever you wanted with your mind. And would definitely be nice to get things down from high shelves. In the USA and can’t wait to read Sapphire Flames!
House of Montgomery. I’m good at investigation. USA
Baylor because they actually care about each other. Siren or being a sharpshooter like Leon would be cool.
I would be an Antistasi Prime with significant minor talents of Truthseeker and Breaker. And, because of my real life need for justice, I would like myself to whatever how the DA is from.
A cadet branch of house rogan telekinetic prime of course im from canada.
The only Magister Examplaria we’ve met so far is Bernard, but surely there’s a house of pattern and puzzle loving nerds and that’s where I belong
House Montgomery!!
I’ve always wanted to fly so I would want to be a Levitator with my own house!
USA
House Baylor – they are very diverse and straight forward. Canada
I feel that I would be a member of House Harrison, I all my life have had pets that I have had to take care of personally (my mother would always have us take care of them as she says to build character). And my family had always had such dedication to our animals, I’d probably be a basic animal mage.
Certainly there are stronger powers than the Mnemonic, but I would love to have a perfect memory, I think.
Would fit well in House Etterson – Magus Venenata, ah to be able to identify poisons, neutralize them and oh yes, experiment with multiple combinations. (Um, for the good of mankind of course)
Country – Canada
Ooooo…House Sherwood. I have a thing for lichens… I’m in the US. And thanks for the lovely stories!
I would love to be an animal mage in House Baylor. House Baylor is such a hodge-podge that I’d fit right in.
I’m a geokinetic with an affinity for locating and drawing forth specific minerals or mineral combinations from the earth. Gemstone mining anyone? I’m not sure which house this power would best fit within, but if we’re just picking, then Baylor!
Definitely House Harrison. I’d love to link to a bat or other night creature. USA
Definitely House Baylor. Being a siren would be awesome as long as wings are included! ?
U.S.
House Ade-Afefe, because I live in Colorado. If you know anything about the state, then you understand why controlling weather would be the best.
Summoner, being able to see surprising new creatures that haven’t been seen by anyone before sounds interesting, although I’d prefer a house other than Harcourt, I have a feeling that their way is probably not the only way to interact with summoned creatures. USA
House Tremaine or House Rogan. Both unapologetically ruthless.
House Sherwood! I’m into science and love business, so I could totally get into making drugs to cure diseases! My husband loves plants (total green thumb) and this would also be his choice. Plus, I wouldn’t really want to be a combat house – much safer to be on the business side of things. Grow some plants, make some money, no one wants to kill you.
Another House Harrison over here! Come to me jungle friends! *says like ace ventura* -From California, USA
House Harrison – animal mage for the win.
Definitely my own house, would love the ability to be an Aegis
House Harrison, animal mage, but then I’d like to marry someone from house Sherwood, because it would be great to have a wonderful garden for the animals to play in :-D.
I’m from Canada, and love Ilona Andrew’s books. Thanks for this opportunity.
House Sherwood! I’d be a herbamagos – I love spending time in my garden. I’m in Canada.
I would like to be in House Montgomery as a simple illusionist. None of the politics for me!
USA
House Harrison and animal mage, though my parents think I already have something going on since their dogs always love me, lol.
House Montgomery – I love the idea of illusion and to be able to change myself. There would be some many different things you could do with it. Possibly you would be able to put false memories in people heads. I’m from Australia.
House Harrison – my horses and I would rule Houston. USA
House Ade-Afefe – weather controlling power would be neat because then maybe when my introverted anxious self needed yet another reason to stay home I could just change things up… and have to cancel. But not really because that would be not particularly responsible. So maybe a telekinetic house instead. :/
House Harrison. I have always wanted to know what my dog is thinking. Plus, I like the fact that they are working on having better relationships with each other. I like the fact that the house wants to grow and adapt in healthier ways. Plus, Matilda is awesome. –USA
Prime Hopper, with House Baylor. Already have such a variety of primes, why not add another to help in their jobs and fun stuff. Love House Baylor
House Harrison! I would love to have an affinity with animals and be a Dr. Doolittle of sorts. I live in the USA!
I’d be House Ade-Afefe because Im in Atlanta, GA and i need there to be other weather patterns besides our 2 – so hot and humid you can’t breathe and ice storm.
House Sherwood, I would be a herbamagos with a dart gun well stocked with assorted plant -sourced pharmaceuticals for all kinds of situations and a friendly until crossed plant buddy from the arcane realm that looks rather like a cat mated with a pokemon venusaur.
House Baylor no doubt. USA
House Rogan is my choice. I’m a golfer and it would be great to nudge that ball past bunkers and water hazards lol. I’m a Canadian!
It would be fantastic to be an illusion mage (I would never wear makeup again).
BTW if truthseekers are the third rarest talent what are the first and second rarest talents?
Country-USA
Such a hard decision. I’d say animal mage, but I’m not sure I’d want to be in House Harrison….
An annual mage in House Baylor would be awesome. 😉
I’m in the US.
I would like to be in house Harrison! I love to bond with animals!
I’d like to be part of House Ade-Afefe as an elementalist, and able to help control the weather! Notable or Significant would be nice too. I don’t think I want the responsibility of being a Prime. I also like the political approach we’ve seen in the books so far.
House Harrison – Animal Mage
House Harrison! I would love to communicate with my birds! I’m in the USA.
Hands down House Harrison!
House Sherwood. I’d love to have trees that produce delicious fruits. Apples, cherries, peaches, almonds—yum!
I would be a member of House Bailor. The reason is two-fold. They are a true family, loving and supporting each other without being saccharine or false. Each member of the house is allowed to be who they are without the heavy authoritarianism often seen in other houses. In addition, they have awesome ethics which I find incredibly attractive.
I’d like to be in House Rogan. I like Connor’ s mom. I think being related to her, not to mention the telekinetic abilities would be so cool. Philippines. ?
I’d be in my own house.
House Sharma, and be a teleport er. I have always wanted to be able to go to anyplace instantly.
I’m from India
I’d totally be an animal mage in house Harrison!!! I like animals more than people in general anyway!
I’m going to say House Harrison because I love animals. However, though this will sound completely contradictory, I’d like to say my magical designation would be both an Empath and a Therionologist.
House Baylor with truth seeker abilities as it seems like people aren’t being truthful. I can deal with not knowing the truth, but feeling doubtful and paranoid is making me tired. I’m in Canada.
House Rogan, wouldn’t it be great to be able to move things with your mind. And let’s be honest when Connor puts his mind to it, Nevada certainly feels it. I would love that power. Minneapolis
House Rogan. Just think of the creations to be made if telekinetic, who says you can only be combative with that ability? I live in Houston, TX too!
I would definitely like to be a part of House Baylor and be a truth seeker. To help people and unmask evil, there is a great deal of evil in this world that isn’t
I wish to belong to a new house that takes the pain away and replace it with joy and happiness:)
I am from Canada:)
I would love to be a member of House Baylor. I want to be a harmonizer because i am horrible at decorating and creating a peaceful feng shui environment, so i would live that power. I live in US.
Seems like a lot of people feel like me – House Harrison all the way. The “Heist” scene with Cornelius and the ferrets was amazing…and I love Zeus!
Outside the US: Japan
House Baylor all the way, they are a family first and foremost, being a House is secondary. I’d love to be an animal mage so I could find out what the hell my cat gets up to ?
I’m in Christchurch, New Zealand ??
I would definitely want to be in house Rogan. With a house full of kiddos I would love to be able to move things without touching them. Stir the pot on the stove while changing a diaper or reach that cup for whoever wanted it with my mind so I can finish mixing the meatloaf without stopping. Or cleaning up the potty training accident without using my hands! It could be blissful.
I’m in the USA
House Baylor of course! Id like to be an enerkinetic, but with the Baylor-family twist that makes it unique.
I got Geokinetic on the test, BUT I prefer to be an Elementalist with Fire and Earth as my Elements. Just, you know, in case of starvation or barbecue (priorities) I can grow and fry my own food. Food is important. Food. And chasing away mosquitoes. Nasty little buggers. Also, I hail from the land of chocolate and beer: Belgium. *waffle waves*
I would like to be in House Rogan but be born totally with surprise powers like the Baylor’s and be an aquakinetic. Having a place to swim or make a pond whenever I wanted would be awesome! I am in the US.
OooooOooo I’d like to be an Oneiromancer, possibly the hidden Baranovsky bastard. I’m in Canada, with a US po box.
House Montgomery! I’d be an illusion mage. Illusion would be such a useful skill. I’d do less destructive things with this power than many of the others mentioned.
House Rogan- my telekinetic powers would be useful in deterring bad guys and fetching remotes!
House Harrison. I don’t like politics, but I do like to make a difference, and animals can absolutely do that. Imagine having a cadaver dog who can tell you exactly what they’re smelling and where, or the ability to warn wild animals where it’s not safe for them to go.
Besides, I could have black panthers! And bats!
(I’m in the US.)
House Rogan..telekinetic powers to move and get things done without moving from my place would be cool, also giving me more time to read 🙂
Love from India
Tremaine or Baylor. I would love to be a truth seeker. I teach middle school math and would enjoy hearing the truth about homework little more often.
House Harrison, Therionologist. I can absolutely see myself as an Animal Mage, I love animals! (I’d better, I’m currently fostering 9 dogs!)
House Harrison for me. Animal mage is where my strengths are at, not with people skills. 🙂
House Ade-Afefe (weather mages) ==> I would love to be a mid to high range talent, helping direct rain to drought stricken areas and away from floods. Good steady work, [with travel!] that makes a real difference to peoples lives. Who wants to rule the world? Not Me! I just want folks happy to see me come to town, lol. [Australia]
I live in Bermuda, so House Collins, the aquakinetics would be a great choice. Beach time would be even more fantastic than it already is with the beautiful pink sand.
House Rogan. Telekinesis would change my life.
House Harrison. Would love to be an animal mage and have the ability to communicate with all animals both normal and paranormal.
I am in the US.
I’m from Australia.
I can’t wait until August. I love this series.
I’m torn between House Harrison and House Harcourt. I like animals and it would be fun to plan ferret heists, but summoning something from the arcane realm would be cool. As long as the summoned creature isn’t enslaved. If it works like the animal mages, then great, but if it’s torture for the creature, then pass.
On a side note, I thought House Schaefer had the largest investigation firm, but the scribes website said MII was the largest. Time to reread the book, I guess.
House Harrison –because the animal magus talent uses empathy and and it would be a joy to take part in developing talents while working with animals.
I am Canadian.
Maybe House Etterson, I’m not sure what their powers are but I would love to be an Aegis – seems pretty close to Sue Storm 🙂
House Harrison. Communicate with and heal animals.
House Harcourt – I love drawing and I’m really creative, so I’d love to think I could manifest and control some of the creatures I’ve come up with.
I’m from Argentina. Thanks!!
I would go for House Harrison because I want to understand what the hell my cats are thinking when they do certain things, lol. From Canada. Seriously looking forward to this book!
I would most like to be part of house Rogan. I would prefer to be a minor talent, but they don’t take any sh**. Rogan and his mother seem like a real family , albeit off center. They protect who they care about. Plus, the connection to House Baylor means double the ass kicking, right?
I would have to say House Baylor because they remind me of my family… And I think it would be awesome to be a prime telekinetic but the kind that can levitate people without killing them lol. I think it would be way useful and I could pull a bunch of pranks on the girls 🙂
I think I would like to be House Ade-Afefe and possibly an elementalist with air/water. Storm has always been one of my favorite X-Men characters and Tris (from Tamora Pierce’s Circle series) was also a weather witch with intriguing powers, including the ability to hear conversations on the wind. The power to control aspects of the weather has always interested me.
(I am U.S. based)
House Baylor as a the Therionologist. I work with energy and animals now. I would be a dual with Healing abilities. We really need to see a Healer group emerge. I love the Baylor family group where they fight together and love each other so much at the same time. Tennessee USA.
Tough choice but I would have to go with House Harrison. I would love to be able to know all my furry friends are thinking.
House Baylor all the way!
Hello! I would love to receive a copy. I’m from India.
House Baylor: and because I have definitely fallen in love with the characters. Probably something of a Sagittarius marksman. I think it’s really cool and because I wear specs I’m not very good at it so in the fictional world that’s how I’d go 🙂
Definitely House Harrison and being connected with animals like that! Speaking to animals is always my answer for what superhero power I would choose too. I’m in the USA.
I want to be in House Baylor and have the power to break hexes placed on the minds of others. I also want to be in House Baylor because the family is so funny and full of drama. Everyday would be an adventure. From the Philippines.
I’d want to be in House Latimer and have mysterious powers that people can only guess at. With a great boss who is a feminist and protector of domestic violence survivor, it’s a total win all around!
I’m from Malaysia! Come over for fun in the sun!
House Ade-Afefe — I love having the sun around me all the time 🙂 (I’m from the US)
USA. I’m torn between two: a Therionologist or a Magus Venenata. If I was an animal mage, then I’d want to be part of House Harrison. As a poison mage, I’d like to have a minor ability like Magus Sagittarius like Nevada.
I would choose House Vidente (precog) and to be a oneiromancer, able to see the future. But not the stock market! More like natural disasters, something that could really help people.. If there was a medical power, I’d have taken that.
I live in Switzerland.
U.S here
I would like to belong house Baylor because they unlike any other house-honest, hard working and they don’t buy into the power and politic BS. I love the dynamics of the family members. My power would be unlike any other. I would be able to duplicate anyone’s power that I have ever met. I would also be able to null anyone’s power-a specific individual, an entire house or an entire city.
I can’t be the only one who would want to be in House Howling and be able to work lightning. It’s probably not the most practical, but it’d be so awesome!
I’m in the USA
I would like to be a part of House Etterson and be a Magus Venenata. It would be so useful, I think, to sense and remove poisons. I like to be useful.
House Rogan…all the way. They are just bada$$ and I love how fiercely protective they are about the ones they love. Plus, the House Baylor peeps feel like they could be my BFF’s. I’m super excited for this book in the series. I’m in the US. 🙂
House Rogan for sure. I’ve always wanted Magneto’s powers and Mad Rogan’s telekinesis is the next best thing.
Not sure what house Baranovsky (Prime Oneiromancer) was in, but that would be the House for me. I already have incredibly vivid dreams and often my dreams are the best part of my day. If that sounds sad, consider this: When else can I conquer my problems by conjuring up a jet pack and flying over a mountain? Hmmmm?
Anyway, being part of a House that makes money by sleeping would be awesome.
I’m in the US.
Oh my goodness this is so hard! But… I love elemental powers (Legend of Korra/The Last Airbender, Storm in the X-Men, etc.), particularly wind/air, so House Ade-Afefe! They have a kickass name and seem like a great group of people, honorable and tight-knit. It would fabulous to be able to direct wind, and if my powers were strong enough it would make sky-diving so much cooler!
(I’m in the USA)
House Forsburg, hopper – jumping from one location to another sounds super cool! I’m in the US.
I would belong to House Harrison if I wasn’t a Muggle..It would be something to be a BeastMaster working in conjunction with my furred or feathered companions.. It’s as close to a Worg as we can get.. I could Be Bran the Broken, Arya, or John Snow Because the are all Worgs and part of House Harrison.. this is where the Sorting hat would put ne
House Montgomery, Illusionist
House Harrison–dual: Animal Mage (bees) with a secondary plant Significant
Telekinetic Prime with House Rogan. I will be launching satellites and helping rockets get into orbit.
Hence house Rogan – I believe they already have military contracts.
Rogan mentioned that he cannot levitate things but said nothing about levitating boxes with people inside. So technically speaking I can go into space and function as a rocket engine to go to Mars (sort of like pulling yourself by the bootstraps)
I’d choose House Sherwood and be an herbamage with an affinity for flowering plants.[Although Suzainur comment re: House Latimer made me want to pick the same!]
Love all IA stories.
Whatever the Records Keeper was. He and the younger guy/associate kick ass! Woo-hoo for Librarians!
I’m from the USA.
Hmm, power is easy. I’d be a pattern mage. House is harder, my house would be something boring and quiet that nobody’s heard of. US resident.
House Baylor and a telekinetic. You have to respect their ethics!
I’m from India and even in my fantasy I’d chose to be just me but with the superpower to have allthe books of my favourite authors readily available to read n njoy..lol
God bless you all who make my world so enjoyable..?
And sincerely thankyou for creating these wonderful places we can visit at the turn of a page!
I would want to be part of House Collins as an aquakinetic . I love water (I was a competitive swimmer in my youth) and it would be awesome to be able to manipulate it!
Florida, USA
House Harrison. They are not in the cut and thrust of high house politics and being and animal mage would make me exceedingly happy. So an ordinary life by some House standards but a good one for me.
I’m going to have to go with House Rogan; don’t want Huracán-strength TK, but the fine control and power to lift and manipulate things would be excellent!
House Forsberg- Hopper!
??
House Harrison and Animal Mage–the ferret and badger breaking in to the house was the best!
I would like to be House Baylor because I love this family – especially the Grandma and her machines. I would like to be telekinetic because moving things would be so fun. I am in the United States.
Definitely House Sherwood. Love gardens. What I could do as a herbamagos!
I’d half to choose house Lin and be a truthseeker. Im not sure if it would be totally cool or totally suck to always know when someone was lying to you.
I’m torn either House Baylor or House Harrison.
Baylor because that is a really funny and interesting house and also to be able to get people to tell the truth would be amazing right about now.
Harrison because it would be awesome to talk to my animals and be able to heal them.
US resident
I have an affinity for earth/nature based things as well as what I call deja vu blips (an intense feeling of having experienced that exact moment before) often so I think I would either fall into Oneiromancer or Geokinetic, which would make me a good fit for House Rogan 😀
Fingers crossed that I win a book! My lucky number is 13! I can’t wait to read it, and then re-read it
I would most love to be part of house Rogan.
Telekenisis would be incredibly useful. Multi-tasking would be incredibly easy. You could just walk through the house and fix everything that is askew. Cooking would be a breeze. Chop ingredients without a knife. Mix, Saute, bake items simultaneously. And when the world seems just too much, volunteer for a building demolition. Release your anger by doing a Hulk-smash on a building.
Living the Life in the Philippines!
Hmmm, I’d have to say House Sherwood, because I’m helping plants take over the world (I have a Mommy Monster Aloe plant that now has grandpups in over 6 different states that I can verify). Power would be to mutate plants at a genetic level. Or get rid of vines, I could use that power *stabby stabs at the 8 different vines the previous homeowner put in*
Unless theres some kind of architectural one that I missed seeing in the books, where I could just build all the things I picture in my mind in real life. Because I would love that power XD
United States.
House Harrison , I would love the connection to animals.
House Baylor for sure! I’m all about functional family dynamics. The powers are just a bonus. I’m from the US. (North Carolina)
I would be House Montgomery – Illusion would be perfect for creating art projects from stills to animation/film – I would be able to bring the things in my mind to vivid 3D life and then capture them as stills or videos. Plus cosplay. Could you imagine conventions where attendees or guests could use illusion? I would imagine it would be a very useful house talent to have if you are interested in entertainment, from special effects, costuming, etc. I would totally use it for both career and fan work. Limitless possibilities, even if you are not a prime level.
Either this or whatever House has the talent for total yummy cooking.
From USA. House Rogan with telekinesis.
Oooh. So many cool powers, so difficult to choose… but I’ve always wanted to be a teleporter, so Prime Hopper it is. And since it hasn’t been said what powers they have, but they have shown themselves to be both ethical and awesome, I’ll go for House Latimer.
House Baylor, but I would want to be Magister Examplaria. In a technological world I think it would be very useful.
But if I was to be impractical, I would choose an elemental house and try to become a hidden legacy version of the Avatar. Tee hee~
House Rogan. I think there are so many things he can control and do by moving things with his mind. I am strong willed, so I think I could do quite a bit with such power.
Must be really tired, because my first reaction when I read this was: the pantry at Dina’s Inn.
Yup, the pantry. 🙂
Because I pride myself on helping people, and coming up with what they need to solve their problems … (in my case, advice, referrals, connections, introductions, coalition-building, and other resources …) to echo the Inn’s/pantry’s helpfulness in having pans of all sizes, and many kinds of kitchen equipment …
I also pride myself on having my equipment organized, both in the office and in my tack-box: being prepared … taken to a very keen level. 🙂
Anyway, I re-read it, and realized it was a House in Rogan’s world. As much as I would love to say “Rogan” (because I admire his loyalty, discipline, sense of duty, and organizational skills …), I think the animal empathy is the best fit for me.
+1 on the lady’s post above: well said.
Most definitely an animal mage. I’ve always gotten along better with animals than people. 😉
House Harriso. I have always had an intense connection to horses
House Etterson! I have seen too many bad things people do with food. People poison themselves and people they love by sheer carelessness. And nowadays, even with care, so many things seem to have salmonella or something else that you can’t do anything about. Now add in a world where people would try to poison you, and it makes me shudder. To have a gift where I could help fix this. even though the House itself has had a terrible tragedy, would be wonderful.
I had to go back and reread Diamond Fire to come up with the name of the house, though. Worth it!
I’d want to be in House Montgomery and an Illusion mage. I guess I’m snoopy by nature so the ability to sneak into virtually any place would be lots of fun!
House Rogan. Throwing cars and shaving toothpicks? Yes, please.
USA
House Harrison, I would love to communicate with animals.
House Baylor no doubt. They sound like the funniest house. Not so stuffy as the rest of the house. I would be a Herbamagos. A plant mage sounds awesome. I love to cook but have a brown thumb.
House Harrison Animal Mage with a particular talent for getting cats to behave.
I would like to be part of House Harrison. Animals of all sizes have powers that can be utilized and House Harrison sees the strength not weakness in each being around them. I live in the US.
It has got to be House Harrison. I would love to know exactly what the pets are actually thinking!
From Sydney, Australia
A siren in House Molpe. I’ve had a thing for Greek mythology since I was a child. United States.
House Harrison prime animal mage and average sniffer.
International Entry please (Australia) House Rogan for sure!!! Also something along Connors powers because he is Kicka$$!!!
House Baylor- Magister Examplaria
I’d like to be in House Forsberg as a Prime Hopper. What a way to travel. ?
This is such a tough choice!!! I love the Baylors…so house Baylor &- Truthseeker. It would be so nice to know where you stand with people & to be aware when people are less rah honest. (Texas-USA)
House Harrison. I’ve always been good with animals trusting me. Putting in the work & being patient.
I would be part of House Rogan. Telekinesis for the win and family reunions are guaranteed to be juicy ?
House Sherwood. I would have the prettiest garden ever! USA.
It was a long day at school today which makes me want to choose Harmonizer. I think the ability to at least slightly influence environment could be a wonderful thing. Finals, the end of the school year, middle school drama, etc. It seems like it could be a really useful talent.
I’m not sure which house is associated with Harmonizer.
The House of BDH.. hehe
Love your writing.. s
If I could have a superpower it would have to be the power to have all the latest books and the luxury of enjoying them.. there any house for this kind?
Thankyou for your efforts and I’m from India.
House Harrison and an Animal mage. Howcool would that be! US resident here.
I would love to be in house Baylor because I’m all about family and I love their dynamic!!!! As for power, I think Magister Examplaria would be very useful. I’m in the USA.
USA
This is tough. I would love to travel, but hate to fly and don’t want to go on a cruise, so I was thinking a Hopper would be good. I also really love animals, so I think I’ll go with House Harrison and be an animal mage.
Thanks for the chance to win! <3
I would like to be in house Baylor and have a power like Catalina’s.
I would be in house Baylor, as a Magister Examplaria. My family is really close, like the Baylor family, and I naturally find patterns and make connections.
I’ve always had an affinity for water, so perhaps House Collins for the power of Aquakinetics! (Not Psychrokinetic though.) I’m from the US. 🙂
Seriously tough choice!! I would have to say House Harrison as I have my own herd of cats and poodles. Snappy Jaguars beware I have Sassy Standard Poodles!
USA
I would chose House Rogan. My power would be telekinesis at the atomic level, meaning I could walk through walls and I could fly all by moving molecules at atoms to do my bidding. Think of a wall as atoms that I silently and stealthily shift my own atoms and molecules through. Time to fly, I arrange the atoms of and compact them under my body to lift me up. I am even thinking that as I learn my powers I might actually be able to turn lead into gold. Or go to areas that are polluted and make the pollutants into non harmful molecules. Carbon dioxide becomes graphite and oxygen, for example.
House Baylor and Telekinetic. I like that House Baylor was not established for power but for the love of family.
House Baylor because they seem to have fun. Would love to hang out with the grandma. Don’t think I would want to be a truth seeker though— too depressing. Maybe I would want to have Catalina’s talent. I am in the USA. Thanks!!!
House Sherwood – I would love to be a plant mage. I would like to specialise in herbs. and just making things grow.
– Jess Beard – Australia 🙂
House Rogan, because Telekinesis gives you both great offensive power as well as (at the very least decent) defensive abilities, I would imagine.
House Collins as I’ve always felt most centered and right when near or on the water. I’m in the US.
I would like to be in House Baylor and be a Truthseeker. Handy power for a teacher, and being part of a new House could be challenging and interesting.
US resident
House Montgomery – I would be “that one cousin” who uses their power to impersonate/mock my siblings or other family members while in the same room as them – 24/7.
US Entry
I would want to be in either House Harrison as an animal mage or House Sherwood as a herbamagos with. A focus on flowering plants. I would love to be a dual mage, and I obviously am not a people person based on my choices. ?
I live in the United States… and considering I just had two black cats cross the road in front of me at almost the exact same time, I doubt I’ll win. I’m still hoping though. ????????????????????????????
House Rogan or House Baylor – depending on the day, I’d want to be able to either move cars out of my way during rush hour or force people to tell me the truth in work meetings 🙂
Live in the US.
I think being a Truthseeker in House Baylor would be cool. While there are definitely some drawbacks (do you really WANT to know the the truth of everything your friends, family and significant others tell you), it would be a great power to have as a journalist or historian. Of course, House Baylor does seem to get attacked a lot. But it’s still my choice.
My husband says he would like to be a mech mage and my choice would be house Montgomery.
House Baylor because no they are the best house hands down. I would love to communicate with animals!
-Your fan in the United States
House Sagredo!!! Hands down. Antistasi.. I want to be able to block/negate any magic. I think that’s cool. Anyone with magic or power would run the other way. USA!!!
I would love to be in house Sherwood with a focus on flowering plants since I work at a garden centre. I’m from Canada ?? so hopefully I can be the international win fingers crossed ?
House Baylor, because they have the qualities I admire plus the sass. I would be proud if I could fit in.
I would be House Rogan bec I’ve always been fascinated with telekinetics (from the Sissy Spacek Carrie to Matilda to Prue from Charmed). I’m from the Philippines but i can receive books through Shipping Cart.
I would say House Ade-afefe (on the website it says it’s for weather mages). Why you may ask? Because it is not as well known and right now after a week of nasty weather having some semblance of control would be nice ( it’s supposed to be summer right?). Anyways there’s my two cents live from Ohio, USA.
I would love to be a part of House Tremaine! Being able to always know if someone is lying is really cool to me and being able to dig people’s secrets out would be amazing. I’d totally solve mysteries all the time.
From: A. Payton (USA)
I would absolutely say House Baylor! I’m all about family and don’t appreciate BS! I’m a straight shooter!
I’d like to be in House Harrison and have the ability of Therionologist (Animal Mage).
House Sherwood. Plant power. (USA)
USA
I would want to be in House Baylor, not just because I love their individualities, but because I love their three rules. They are people of integrity, and I really value that.
House Sherwood would be great! Would be able to help combat climate change one plant at a time. 🙂
(Singapore)
I would be in a House Etterson and create poison from every day plants and flowers.
First house i thought about is House Ade-Afefe. it would come in handy now with floods and droughts everywhere.
Lithuanian here 🙂 thank you for chance to win
I would want to be in House Montgomery. The ability to create illusion at will would be cool.
US contestant. I would love to be in House Baylor. They care about family and other people as well. They consider ethics and morals to be more than just words in the dictionary. I would probably vote for magister examplaria as my power. Have always enjoyed looking for the patterns in life, math, games.
Definitely House Tremaine. This would totally eliminate the parent letter that accompanies plagiarism. I could just say, “Plagiarized. Verified by House Tremaine.” Zero.
Further questions? Please contact my principal, who is House Rogan.
🙂 From Fredericksburg, TX, but residing in Bahrain as a DoDEA educator
House Rogan!! moving stuff with your mind = awesome!
I’d want to be House Rohan and have the power to cast illusions.
House Rogan Family, telekinesis! He has more than telekinesis but I love the idea of moving something with your mind
USA
I would want to be in house Harrison. I think communicating with animals would be fascinating.
I’d want to be in House Sagredo because being able to block mental magic and nullify others magic equals protection. USA
House Ade-afefe definitely, I live in the tropics (Sri Lanka) being able to control the weather would be amazing and in total House fashion the influence I would have would be ???
House Harrison because animals are waaaaayyyy better than people ?
I would like to be House Vidente because I think I would enjoy being a precog (if I could control it a bit). I really like the idea of being able to see the future. I’m currently studying for one of the biggest tests of my life and I would love to know how I do!
I would be part of house Harrison and finally learn what our pets are really thinking about us and what they find hilarious.
Since I adore House Baylor (and they’re the ones most likely to be nice to me and feed me pancakes and chocolate mousse, I’d love to be a truthseeker and know when everyone is lying to me.
It’s a toss up. House Harrison for the connection to animals, but with House Baylor, anything goes.
House Montgomery! (“Illusions, dad, illusions”)
I’d love to say House Baylor, but since I think I’d be an empath, it would probably be House Harrison or Sherwood (since they have empaths). I’m in the USA. Thank you for the opportunity to enter for an ARC! I’ve already pre-ordered the Kindle version, but would love an early paper copy. ?
I would be House Montgomery. An illusionist and my role would be spy. The ability to change my appearance would be my camouflage.
California?
House Collins- because water is the source of all life (or death). Besides, I’m from Australia & we know how important water really is.
House Baylor! I love their integrity and their 3 rules. Probably Magister Examplaria. Love playing puzzles.
Would have to say House Ade-Afefe for me. Influencing the weather is a fantastic concept. Since this would not be single trait or would classify as an Elementalist?
Oh, and welcome to the family Eugene.
USA.
House Rogan.
Because I’m lazy, and hate it when I sit down just in time to realize I forgot something.
Also handy when the remote is across the room.
USA
I’m torn and probably spent more time contemplating which House than I’d care to admit. House Etterson because the idea of being able to protect people resonates with me but the prospect of violence ….doesn’t. And despite what happened to them I’m thinking most people who attack with poison Aren’t going to directly confront their targets. And I’m really interested the the different formulas used to make natural medicines, some of which are poison- some of which I guess would drift into the herbomagos spectrum…
But then being telekinetic is sooo freaking awesome. … and Knowing Rogan has your back…
And Antistasi- being able to protect yourself against the mental stuff….and if Alessandro is your cuz – I’m not seeing a problem there…
So Etterson or Sagredo or Rogan probably
Assuming the Baylor’s are full of course
I would like to be in House Ade-Afef so that I could be a weather mage. I just really like the dope dancing they do to summon weather, I would particularly ensure there would be more snow days with heavy enough snow to cause schools to close 🙂
Also I’m in the US!
I’d like to be in whichever House is in charge of the Wishing Well company as a Magister Exemplar. Or House Lin as the same.
Lauren
I would belong to House Harrison because I would love to communicate with animals and see what they think. My power would be to communicate with all animals in the world
I would want to be a member of House Baylor, because they don’t do the political bull. I would be a pattern mage.
A fan from Canada here! I’d love to be a Prime Venenata for House Etterson. I think it’d be amazing to help people detect something that is hidden to most human senses, and having Runa as a sister seems like fun!
House Sherwood because botanical magic sounds interesting. USA
House Harrison, animal mage. Being able to bond with animals would be amazing! (USA)
I’d love to be an oneiromancer, predicting the future through your dreams, how cool is that?!!!
I’m from Australia ?
House Harrison or House Rogan. My cat and I can finally understand each other. Or I can be lazy-ing around moving stuff using my mind. Either way, it’s awesome! Hehe I’m from Malaysia.
House sherwood and house harrison. Hopefully the parents married for love and so went against doing for genetic matching and then i can have plants and animal magic. From Australia
Ps i take it your not in the tornado belt. Those multiple ones this week looked bad.
House Rogan. Telekinetic and an Aegis. I’d like to be able to throw my shield over someone or something else not next to me. Feels like that would be doable with these two talents. Bonus points for having Conner as a relative and by extension Nevada & the rest of the Baylor family. USA.
Thanks for all the awesome stories! I know it isn’t always easy, I really appreciate all your hard work & creativity. 🙂
I’d probably be House Vidente.
Planning everything out while being super meticulous is how I enjoy moving through the world. That and I love sleeping so precog through dreams means I can sleep more and still get stuff done.
I’d be a Antistasi in House Sagredo.
Been a down in the dumps kinda week here too ? checking your blog k
lightens my spirits.thank you ?
House Baylor of course. Love Catalina and Nevada. 🙂 A sharp shooter skill would be cool for video games. 🙂
Definately House Baylor. They are so cute and sassy. I love that they are a FAMILY first, with all the faults, foibles and ‘I got your back’ things. They also forgive each other-eventually.
I live in the USA. ? ❄ ITS SNOWING HERE! On May 22 ! Grrr
House Harrison, animal mage. Many reasons-the power sounds great, the house is smaller, it’s led by a woman, and they don’t seem to be power mad and obsessed with increasing their abilities.
House Harrison of course!! I would love to have a ninja ferret strike force!
I think I would like house Baylor and I would want to be either a Hopper or Teleporter!
I want to be part of House Baylor. They cook their own food, have a lovingly irritating family, and a great sense of humor. I just need my magic to manifest completely so I can be a significant Magister Examplaria. I am exceptionally good with computers, math and patterns. This position would give me a life filled with the joy of accomplishing things I consider fun and worthwhile.
I live in the US (Texas).
Oops cut off my house choice 🙂 it is House Harrison. true bonding is a precious , and eventually heartbreaking choice that I make gladly each time❤️
House Baylor, Truthseeker! Or, House Harrison, Animal Mage!
House Montgomery be anyone you want for a day! Be invisible!
House Baylor. They are the most human of all the houses. They would also understand and accept all my quirks around iced latte, not sharing bathrooms and spending time staring at the wall.
House Baylor! They are the best and kind of remind me of my family. I would be a truthseeker for sure.
Oooh tough decision. I’d have to go with House Rogan, if for nothing else than pester, annoy and generally all in all poke the bear LOL!!
House Rogan….I want to move stuff with my mind?
International: Canada
I would like to be a member of House Harrison so that I could better understand and explain animals. Especially my dogs who have interesting quirks.
I would be part of House Harrison and be an animal mage. Maybe cats or snakes.
I’m from Canada.
I love animals so I would want to be in House Harrison so that I could bond and partner with animals. I also like that it is not a super powerful House because I am not ruthless enough to thrive in that kind of environment.
House Baylor, computer mage, I am amazing at research. Or House Harrison, animal mage specialty small parrots!
Probably house Baylor – the family dynamic is hilarious and they all love and look out for each other. They are good people with lots of heart. Also, to be able to distinguish between truth and lies while being able to use the power as a weapon would be pretty awesome ?. From Canada ??:)
House Rogan
House Pierce….so I could always start a fire to keep me warm/light my way in the dark!
International Entry: Canada
House Sherwood, simply because nothing makes me happier than gardening when I’m not reading.
House Harrison! Love the animal sentries! I’m in Colorado.
A teleportation house! I am obsessed with the idea of magically teleporting myself to any location on the planet on a whim. Of course, in the Hidden Legacy world, I probably couldn’t teleport myself half way across the world unless I was a prime . . .and even if I was a “lesser” mage. . . I’m positive I would be perfectly content to teleport myself to and from costco as long as I didn’t have to deal with the parking lot!
Other than House Baylor, I’d want to be in House Montgomery, as an Illusionist.
House Collins. aquanetics with psychronetics. Human body is full of water. so i could tell when someones emotional state, maybe not as good as nevada but can come close. plus in texas why not be someone like subzero who can keep things cool with a little bit of water. i would have an excuse to keep water bottles or glasses everywhere like in signs since it would be equivalent to keep guns hidden around the house. i think aquanetics mages are the most powerful mages around.
House Sagredo: Antistasi. Would love the ability to prevent any kind of psychic attack. Also bet it would help play poker!
Hmmm, while animals are awesome, my luck I’d have animal mage power AND terrible allergies to dander. I’d go with House Baylor and shapeshifting. There are some really bad drivers here in Florida that I’d love to stomp on. They’re called turning indicators for a reason. Oy.
I would be House Baylor or the house of rogue genes because I have a greater chance of being what I want: a mnemonic telepathic Illusionist.
House Ade-Afefe and weather mage
If anything to stop all this rain that’s flooding everything.
House Baylor, I would love to be a truthseeker.
Dawn(usa)
I’d choose House Baylor and think the House could use a good Plant Mage. Live plants all around would be lovely. I’m from the US.
House Sherwood, maybe? Long line of farmers in this family, with a lot of green thumbs. I’m in the US!
Wow! This is fabulous!
I would want to be a part of House Baylor because I really respect the rules of their agency and how they stand by them. As you can guess, this also means I’d like to be a truth seeker. Honesty is important to me.
If I won, I would give it to my sister-in-law who first introduced me to Ilona Andrews. She would definitely be an animal mage with House Harrison. Between her horses and chickens, watch out!
Cheers from Canada!
Mental Aegis. When present, complete protection from manipulators. Some enduring protection (loss of control of voluntary muscles, mental mental Help cry) for some people. House Charles
I would choose House Ade-Afefe and be a weather mage! I’m from the UAE. ?
I think I would have been a part of House Ade-Afefe (weather mages). I am a very organized person who likes patterns and generally believes in not messing with the way nature is. However, my family is very loyal to each other, similar to the way the house was portrayed in the book.
I would like to be in House Baylor and I’d like to be a teleporter.
This was harder to choose than I would have guessed! I think I’d like to be House Rogan, but without the city destroying potential that Connor has.
For my house I would choose House Baylor, because of the strong family loyalty. Better to be a in a small house which will stand by you than a large one which would write you off if they don’t consider you useful or powerful.
I would like to be a Magister Examplaria, I’ve always been good with patterns and being able to make that into something I could be paid for would be amazing.
I’m from Australia.
House Montgomery , to be a new person everyday! I am from Romania.
House Latimer, as a falling vector overseeing a domestic violence shelter.
I would go House Rogan and my skill would be telekinetic. House Rogan never leaves anyone behind and takes care of their own. And how much fun to be able to smash stuff! I live in Kazakhstan, but have a house in Houston. So, not really international, but ex-pat.
Being an animal mage in House Harrison sounds wonderful. I often prefer animals to people anyway, so it sounds like the perfect place for me.
I think I would be house baylor and I would be a truth seeker like Nevada. I really want to say house Harrison but I would have so many animals I probably wouldn’t be able to live. Thanks for the chance!
I’m in Canada.
House Sherwood, because just once I’d like to plant something and have it grow and be healthy, instead of being dead within a week.
I’d be part of House Harrison, with the power to communicate mentally and verbally with animals, especially cats, monkeys, dogs, whales, equines, and dragonflies. ?
Thanks for the giveaway!
I would want to be part of House Baylor or House Rogan, because they’re absolutely awesome.
But if I had to choose a power, regardless of house (who knows what Houses Baylor and Rogan will produce, with the mix of powers?) it would be antistasi—it would be awesome to negate everyone else’s powers.
I would be a Herbamagos – a plant mage – of House Sherwood . I would be able to grow trees, fungi, flora and my yard would be awesome. I would grow the best vegetables, herbs and medicinals. I would also luv to help reforest areas that desperately need it and help save endangered species.
House Harrison, Animal Mage. How much easier would it be to train my horse if I were an animal mage?! Hailing from New Hampshire, USA.
I would want to be a Shielder Prime in House Baylor, able to protect others by blocking mental attacks. If I could combine that with a strong secondary talent as an aegis, I could protect both mind and body of our clients. Guess I’d have to work as a body guard then. Hmm. Think as a prime I would prefer to limit my workload to specific functions that would last hours or a few days, not a year.
House Baylor for the family but also cuz Mech mage and Magister Exemplaria would be a cool combination. I’m in California USA
House Baylor for sure ….maybe a combo ability like siren and truthseeker. Also house Montgomery or Rogan would be cool. Also thanks for the opportunity! MO USA
I would be in House Lin, as I am a bureaucrat, sigh. I would be a Notable or Significant Trust mage, a subset of truth magic that makes it easier for people to trust me.
After working in an animal shelter for over eight years, I would definitely choose House Harrison! They are honorable and “animal people” – what could be better?! (I’m in the U.S.)
House Tremaine and I would be a Truthseeker.
CANADA
I forgot to say that I’m in Canada!
I would love to breathe fire so I have to go with House Pierce!???
House Harrison… animal partners all the way! Love my cat!
House Harrison
I’d love to be able to communicate with animals!
With how important family is to me I like House Baylor because they haven’t been caught up in the good of the house over the happiness of the members.
Honestly, I’d have to be House Rogan. Not because I desperately love Rogan (though I do) but for a very very lazy reason. I could use my telekenetic powers to get things off high areas I’m afraid to go up, open jars I’m too weak to open and separate my students when they are trying to go at each other.
House Montgomery and I would be able to make myself invisible – in the U.S!
I think I would be House Etterson, poison mage for sure if I had my pick! Then I could cater to all the fancy big wig houses (I loooove cooking and baking), and make sure they don’t get poisoned by rivals 🙂
I have 3 choices;
1: House Baylor or House Rogan: telepath, truth seeker , or telekinetic .
2) House Harrison because it would be awesome to have animals everywhere and the true bond.
House Montgomery.
Mnemonic and Binder powers:)
House Rogan. Telekinetic and telepath.
U.S.
I would be a Herbamagos, a plant mage, of House Sherwood or Rio (they’re a house of Herbamagos too!?) I think it is cool that the plant mages work in medicine. (Weren’t there mages that we’re human DNA detectors? That sounds cool, too.) But, according to the wiki, there is a House Nightingale. I don’t even remember them from the books and have no idea of their powers. Are they healers or empaths? The name reminds me of Florence Nightingale, an admirable woman that helped shape the nursing profession. If I had magic, I would want to be a healer. (I live in the U.S.)
I would be House Baylor, either a truth seeker or a siren prime. Love this house because they’re powerful, but still humble and family loving. I’m from Los Angeles, California.
House Sherwood for me, hopefully growing something edible as I really enjoy growing my own food. (USA)
House Rogan-Baylor of course, a child of Connor and Nevada, and have Telekinetic and Elanchus, because, wow!
Dating would of course be awkward, but then again when is it not….
House Rogan, because I’ve always wanted to be telekinetic if I could have a superpower!
I’m in Australia 🙂
I would be House Harrison, almost exclusively because of the scene with the ferrets breaking in through the dryer vent. I’m in the US! Thank you!
House Ade-Afefe! I love the balance, elements, subtle or powerful, weather is fascinating and amazing.
I’m in USA 🙂
Hmm…. House Rogan and telekinesis. Hard to argue with the ability to move things around…..
I’m in the U.S.
House Harrison. Animals!!!!!
I’m in Canada
Gotta go with House Rogan ❤️
I’d like to be House Ade-Afeffe. Who wouldn’t want to be a weather mage? I LOVE this series and can hardly wait for the next installment.
I’d be a truth seeker in House Lin, for sure, because I’m really good at reading people. And I’m in the US.
I would definitely be in House Harrison. I’m a huge animal lover and I spend as much time with animals as possible. Where’s Rachel at a party? Oh I’m just hiding under the bed with the cat batting around this pen we found. Really, you should think about cleaning up a bit under here.
I’m in the U.S.
House Etterson I think! I’m not sure how useful detecting poison would be in my every day life, but it’s definitely the kind of useful but without too much flair kind of magic I would have. (I’m in the US!)
I would love to be in house Harrison ….. I mean all the animals, I would use hamsters to do my evil bidding! They could steal documents and put them in their cheek pouches, distract security guards by running underfoot and generally make people overdose of acute adorableness. ??
They would never see me coming mwhahahaha
I reside in England
House Sherwood – Plant Mage I’d have a superpowered green thumb!
I live in Canada ??
I’m a bastard Hopper, origin unknown. The general consensus is that one House or another got frisky with someone they shouldn’t have because power like mine isn’t suppose to show up at random. Growing up mostly alone on the streets, no one knows I’m a Prime. Well, at least they didn’t until I helped an old lady across the road and into Mount Everest. See, it was hot. Damn hot. And I’d been walking down the street fantasizing about the coldest place I could think of when I saw this sweet looking older lady not so sweetly brandishing a… is that a wrench?… at a guy for some unknown reason. Maybe that’s a thing grandmas do. I wouldn’t know. Anyway, as she stepped off the curb, still distracted by the equally angry man, I realized she had no idea a car was barreling down on her position.
I didn’t think, I just popped up behind her, and hopped to the first place I thought of. Unfortunately, neither of us were prepared for a stroll across the frozen Nepali mountainside. A quick, “Sorry.” and another space-bending hop, and we were back in town. I dropped us into this peaceful park I like to visit and explained the reason for the snatch-n-go greeting and asked if she was okay and where I could take her. The next thing I knew she had my life story out of me (Does she have mind powers or am I just that lonely?). Then she was explaining how I should call her Grandma, she was adopting me into House Baylor, and not to worry about any words to the contrary from her family because she knew how to play dirty with the “kiddos” to get her way.
And that’s just what she did. It’s been great! Things were rocky at first, but they’ve all accepted me into the fold so I finally have a family of my own. In order to keep it, I probably should make sure no one finds out that I take Arabella on what she calls “necessary missions” and what I call “dangerous adventures her family would kill us for.” I love it, though. Being quick and sneaky enough to get past Mad Rogan’s security is probably our favorite part of the whole thing. He knows we’re up to something, but he can never tell for sure where we were and when, and it’s driving him nuts! That’s actually the main source of our danger. Still, we flit around the world, helping other kids who are struggling like I did for years. I think that’s why Arabella does it. She’s my bff as much as she is my accomplice in mayhem, and I love my new life. 🙂
House Baylor, Magister Examplaria. I love patterns and puzzles.
House Harrison for sure, so I could have an animal friend! And international, in Australia 🙂
House Baylor, telekinetic. Family-centric house and multi-purpose talent
House Harrison.. I don’t talk to people. I talk to animals. <3
So many choices *sighs* but I would have to say House Baylor as a Truthseeker or Empath.
I live in the US.
House Baylor. And I’d be a pattern finder like Bern, because patterns and caring about people are shared values. I’m in Thailand.
I’d be a magister examplaria, but I don’t know which house. Maybe House Sherwood because of the research? That or a house that is a competitor to house Sherwood.
I’m based in the US
I really love the idea of illusion! I would definitely love to be a Significant illusionist in House Montgomery for a few key reasons: Augustine (slurp!), and imagine what you can do with illusion…no more bad hair days! Perfect makeup and skin! Skinny thighs! You can replicate couture outfits! It’s all win-win!
House Forsberg. I’d like to pop in and out whenever and wherever I can 🙂
Herbamagos House (Plant mages). Food, medicinal, climate control support – endless possibilities. From NY
House Baylor of course! I would be an illusionist just to add to the variety of talents in the family!
From the US
I would be a part of House Sherwood. I love gardening so the idea of having the power to make plants grow super fast and in interesting designs is so interesting. ( Canada )
I would want to be of House Tremayne & be a prime Elenchus (truthseeker). Mainly, because I feel complete honesty in our relationships with others & integrity is undervalued & far too rare. They are my cornerstones & the trait I most treasure in my friends. I would never be betrayed because I wanted to beleive another despite my instincts. I live in the United States
House Harrison – Animal Mage – USA
Thank you for the opportunity to win an ARC.
I think I would be House Ade-Afefe. I’d love to be able to send rain to those that need it. Thanks for the opportunity.
I’m in Australia
House Harrison. The animal bond is too tempting. Plus, if weird otherworldly cats are a thing, I want my own flerken.
Tough call. I think I’d fit House Harrison, Significant. I don’t think I’m Prime level. I always wanted to control the wind, maybe I could have a blip from that Hiuse to just let me do a breeze.
House Rohan! I want to shave the sides off buildings and topple them on the bad guys!
From the US!
House Baylor. Love this family a lot. Gutsy and real folks here
I would be in House Harrison! I want to be able to talk with and/or control animals. I already have 2 ferrets, I just need a laundry shoot and a ferret badger! I read that scene grinning from ear to ear! (I am in the US).
I would be an Antistasi of house Sagredo. I truly think nullification is an awesome type of magic to have.
Canada 🙂
I would have to be House Harrison and definitely have an affinity with animals. Another way to put that is that I am a sucker for animals in need. Your turtle is a lucky little fellow.
House Harrison. I would love to be able to talk to the animals!
I would be in House Harrison and be an animal mage. I’d love to get my cat to do what I want it to.
House Baylor, Magister Exemplaria. I live in the US.
House Harrison! Purely selfish, I want to be able to tell my darling puppers that the scary thing on wheels is not a monster and there is no need to protect me from it. :p
I would love to be in House Baylor as everyone is not only talented, they brave and clever and truly heroes.
India 🙂
House Rogan. Maybe I just want to BE Conner Rogan…without the Y chromosome. Yep.
House Harrison! I want to hang out with bunnies all day.
I answered the quiz on “What Magic User Are You From Ilona Andrews’s Hidden Legacy Series?” I would be a while back. And I totally loved what I ended up.
It said I was an Illusion Mage, thus I would be under House Montgomery. High Significant rank. I can am a slow learner but I grind to learned being an illusion mage. I can change my physical appearance at a very convincing quality, but takes me time to get to being a copy of someone in the same gender. I can’t really change genders, cause that is only for prime powers. Same with fingerprints and iris copy, not my forte!
Augustine would be my cousin, twice removed. My family are not really quite high in the Montgomery family list since we haven’t birthed any higher than notable. But being a significant, and with my powers coming to maturation and building up. I am slowly climbing the ranks in MII as one of the most sneaky and resourceful agents.
LoL I already pictured a scenario for me even back then… but i love the thought of being an illusion Mage.
Philippines
House Harrison
Understanding and bonding with animals would be awesome.
Canada
All I have to do is comment to get an ARC of an amazing author’s book? Down!
USA, California.
I’d be a Magister Examplaria in House Latimer. It’d be fun to have subtly of a hacker in a house of hard hitters.
House Harrison for sure. I love animals, but alas, the spouse is allergic. I am in canada
House Sagredo – Antistasi
Because hot Italians and protecting others goes hand in hand. 😉
I’d be in House Baylor, because I like the close knit family unit thing.
And I’d have the truth power Nevada has, honestly it’s pretty cool and it’d be nice know if you’re being scammed. And having a mental power like hers seems to be useful against most other mental based powers.
Basic, I know, but I don’t care.
I’m from the United States and I would definitely be from house Harrison and hopefully a prime I love animals of all sorts and think it would be great to understand and communicate with them.
Australia
I would want to be in House Montgomery – I love the idea of being able to create illusions that affect how people see me and/or the world around them. The potential is limitless for this kind of magic.
I’d like to be a truth-seeker in House Baylor, and I live in the USA.
House Harrison, animal mage. I already like animals more than humans, might as well make that jump. US resident.
I would want to be in Baylor but I think I would be in House Harrison, I like to think I can talk to animals… they just don’t always reply lol.
House Baylor because the genetic mix means any power could pop up. I’d be at least a dual, maybe the telepathic telekinetic combo that Rogan’s dad wanted for Rogan. Dual prime, of course!
I will be in House Harrison. I have a natural affinity towards animals and they listen to me. Mostly because I talk to them more than human beings. I already have two pups and I have been raised among cats.
Btw , I am from India
House Baylor – can’t be lied to. Here you will no your true friends and who are your enemies.
Canada
House Baylor – 3 primes, strong women and a strong family connection? ❤️
House baylor sounds good to me.
I would totally be House Harrison. I love all the critters and it would be super cool to control animals. My fluffy corgi and I would have this super wicked magical relationship. Take over the world with cuteness. Mwahaha.
( I’m from US)
House Baylor for sure! I would like to be able to turn myself invisible on command 🙂
I am from the Netherlands.
I would love to be house Harrison and be able to understand and talk to animals!Croatia
House Harrison just enjoy the family traits
Just posting a picture of one DeRangemont aka Ranger a sleeping Bengal..
House Baylor. They have three Primes with three different magic types AND on the mother side have shooting skills. And they are allied with House Rogan and House Harrison.
House Baylor and truthseeker for me too. I have a stong sense of justice & want dishonesty exposed. Probably one of the reasons I’ve enjoyed these books so much!
House Lin. I’m so, so tempted right now by the idea of knowing when people are telling the truth or lying. Particularly attractive is the idea of working in the government and knowing when other government people are lying to me (and being able to call them on it). It is a fantasy day-dream of mine.
I would be from House Harrison and be a animal mage.
Nobody is trying to kill them because of their name and they can use their powers publicly all the time.
I’m from Denmark ??
House Baylor all the way. I wouldn’t mind having some of the “hit everything you shoot” power.
Truthseeker from House Baylor methinks… From the UK! ?
House Baylor. I want to be Nevada Baylor sooooo badly!! Nevada is a beautiful, honest and caring person who also just happens to be a Dual Prime with buckets of bravery, strength, integrity, loyalty and a kick-ass family… who I adore and make me roar with roar with laughter!. Waking up next to Connor Rogan would be pretty epic too!!
I’m in the U.K.
I’d want to be in House Harrison naturally since I’m a big animal lover. It would be great to know what they’re thinking. I’m in the US.
I would be a member of House Baylor, of course, and my superpower would be to calculate the odds for any given endeavor. That would slot neatly between Leon’s ability to calculate trajectories and Bern’s puzzle-solving abilities. Plus, I would be that annoying person, when someone snaps the Han Solo line, “Never tell me the odds!” to state them with Spock-like precision.
house sherwood. being able to grow trees at will would be awesome. not the most showy or powerful but peaceful.
House Harrison. Gotta love the animals.
If transported to the world of Houses, this Canuck from the Wet Coast of BC would want to choose to be part of House Rogan but on the QT as a Prime Magister Examplaria 🙂
Hello,
Joanna from Bonnie Scotland here. Ideally I would like to set up my own house and make our own rules. However, I had to pick I would be house Montgomery, honest, hard working, not a soft touch bit still very much there for friends and family even of it is not very obvious.
Thanks,
Joanna
House rogan. They’re powerful, independent and seem to really value love.
My problem is that House Baylor already has a Magister Examplaria. However, House Conner is one of the few houses we have seen with people that I would be willing to live with, and Magister Examplaria is clearly my type of magic. (House Harrison also has nice people, but I am not an animal mage.)
House Baylor, Magister Examplaria because I love computers and puzzles. I live in the US.
Definitely House Rogan because telekinetic is so badass! Thank you for holding a giveaway for international readers too~! I can’t wait for Sapphire Flames to come out soon!
I’m from Malaysia <3
I love the story and world and it’s really hard to decide which power fits best. But I would absolutely be House Baylor, they are a family. My power… maybe Truthseeker or Telekinesis.
I’m from Germany
Hmmm, I’d like to be an Aegis or a Shielder, and I’d rather not have to run my own House, I’d be perfectly fine with working for someone else. So I’d try and sign up with a House that is more “in the background with not all ethics sacrificed to gaining power” and less “huge target on chest”. From the main Houses we see in the series, that might be House Harrison? Not a big fan of animals though, I’d need to work on that 😉
I am international.
House Baylor, of course, and probably an empath. Animal mage sounds really interesting, but the lack of empathy side effect is def not me. Though I think it would be awesome to be able to bond to animals that way!
I always wanted to be a telekinetic so House Rogan is my choice, however connecting to animals on a telepathic level is super awesome so this is hard! Ok House Harrison is my final answer, I love animals!!
I’d want to be in House Baylor for sure! There’d be something new every day! (from the US)
I would want to be an Illusion Mage with House Montgomery, for sure! Sneaking around, gathering intel… Sign me up! ?
//Jenny, Sweden
I’d like to be in House Harrison and be an animal Mage. I’d like to be able to communicate with the creatures around me, find out what they’re thinking and why, and discover how to make their lives more fun and interesting. I’m in New Zealand.
US resident here. *waves* I’m not going to over think this. House Lin because I’m Asian.
Hi
Thank you for the chance to read the book in advance.
Power that I would like to have is Magister Examplaria. House Rogan or Baylor.
Suzana from Serbia
House Baylor, just for the sarcasm (US)
House Ade-Afefe, because California needs more rain!
I am in the USA.
House Sagredo as an Antistasi.
Definitely would want to be able to block mental attacks and nullify magic.
Close second would be House Molpe as a Siren…
I’d like House Rogan. Dedication and loyalty. Minor telekenetic. No longer have to bend over to get small objects off the ground. I envy short people. Would that I could overcome the height difference with but a ladder. USA (because Kentucky hasn’t struck out on its own yet.)
I think I would be an empath, but in House Baylor:)
House Baylor as a Truthseeker ( US)
I would choose House Baylor with the power of a hopper – espionage, theft, and travel 🙂 Thank you so much for the giveaway. I can’t resist the chance to read it early!
I would 100% be House Baylor.. Their family dynamic Is very similar to my own family..since I’m the oldest of 7 .. They are Crazy but I love them. My powers would be Telekinetic/ Teleport.. because I can be incredibly lazy when it comes to cleaning my house or getting a drink of the fridge and moving things with my mind would be amazing and solves so many problems.. Also free travel no more airplanes 🙂
Hello!
That’s easy! I would be in house Harrison. I would have special affinity with birds and flying creatures. I would have pet palm cackatoo and wedge tailed eagle. Who knows what adventures we would have? I am in Australia!
I’d be in House Sherwood – after Brian’s removal! I wouldn’t want powers where you were expected to use them for combat or destruction, or had to constantly hold them in. But how cool would it be to be able to grow a giant redwood, or make a meadow bloom like Ilona’s photos, or grow new foods, help deal with climate change?
I’m in the UK, so International section please!
I would like to be a truthseeker! And be from House Rogan where all the fun is 😉
(International Mauritius)
House Baylor, definitely. Their family dynamics and support really appeals to me. As for the power, probably a Magister Examplaria. A not showy, but very useful skillset.
An international reader from Lithuania.
I’m so excited for the new book, can’t wait to see how Catalina fares as the main character.
House Baylor because they are a family not only a house. Or Harrison because Animal mage.
I am from Germany
Hi from Australia. House Baylor. I’d want Catalina’s siren talent although i’m not sure I’d be able to display her moral restraint….tell me what i want to know and forget you ever told me…
Hi i.m from France
I.d like to belong to the Baylor family where the y can rely on eachothers. I d like to be a Beauty/Beast
Claire
It’s tough to settle on a favorite power, but I guess I’ll go with illusion mage. I’m not sure I’d want to be in house Montgomery though. Maybe there is some other illusion house that has a little more compassion and isn’t so willing to throw an employee under the bus (like Augustine did to Nevada in book one). I’m from USA.
House Harrison…love animals (Canada)
I would love to be part of a family like the Baylors who really care about each others.
But for my power I would like to have something fairly tame, safe and nice like Harmonizing. That way the possibility of getting embroiled in a House war would be minimal.
The second option is being an Animal Mage because animals are awesome and loyal. It would be wonderful to be communicate with them mind to mind.
I’m from Finland so would count for an international ARC.
I would be in House Baylor and my power would be truthseeker. I love House Baylor as they are a family! and that is everything.
I am from Australia!
House Harrison for sure! Who doesn’t want to be a kick ass animal mage and become like the super natural wolf whisperer or something?? And could practically talk to my dog, best super power ever.
And I’m in Japan, so international ARC! 🙂
I love this series
The house I would be a part of is House Baylor because they have such a wise range of abilities
If I had a power it would be Elemantalist because I think it would be pretty cool to have control over varies elements
(I’m from the US)
Hi from Israel . House Montgomery, and my power will be that I can change my physical appearance (not by glamor) and my immune system will be so powerful that I will be immune to all Known toxins. and did I mention I can shadow walk?
I will be a great assassin/spy for the house.
I love this series
The house I would be a part of is House Baylor because they have such a wide range of abilities
If I had a power it would be Elemantalist because I think it would be pretty cool to have control over varies elements
(I’m from the US)
I mean, I’d like to be an aerokinetic (Flying!!!) but I don’t know any of the Aerokinetic house names… So House Smith!
Alternatively, House Rogan because telekinesis would be the other best power, and at least part of the family doesn’t suck!
US address!
Very simple – House Harrison, Animal Mage.
That way I can finally achieve my end goal of being a crazy cat lady and no one will dare to judge me (insert slightly crazy laugh here)!
I’m from the UK
House Sherwood, herbimagos. There’s just so many benefits to plants: food, herbal remedies, aromatherapy, aesthetics, mushrooms, poisons.
In the US. House Rogan, an i would like to be a breaker. Thanks
House Harrison would love being an animal mage. From theUK
Probably Montgomery. Illusion magic would be fun and I’ve got a feeling there’s a lot to find out about that house. It would be great if the next books were to introduce Augustine’s siblings. They are mentioned a lot but we’ve yet to meet them.
I’m from France btw.
House Baylor because it’s not an “establishment” house with room for all kinds of talents.
I’d be an aero kinetic because who wouldn’t live to controk the wind and fly!
I would be in House Baylor. I’d love to know the thoughts behind the words.
I am from Israel.
It is hard to decide. Maybe an animal mage , so House Harrison. It would be amazing to share my life with big cats or maybe wolfs. I’m from Hungary.
House Collins , I’d like all the elements but if i had to choose one ,I’d love to be a auquakinetic and ice mage.
I’m in the UK
As someone studying law, being a truthseeker would be very useful. But as a woman, I would think that pyrokinetic powers would help me feel safe walking alone at night. 🙁
Hi from Australia. House Rogan, and an animal mage. Thank you?
I would definitely want to be in House Montgomery – imagine all the trouble I could make! Plus, a character that could cast illusions would be a really interesting character to read … ahem live as. The hidden legacy series has quickly become one of my favourites, and I can’t wait to read more! I’m from Hong Kong.
I’d probably be an herbomagos in house sherwood, because it ‘s a very versatile power.
Oooooh awesome, thank you dir Thema opportunity! This is a head choice, but I would most want to be part of House Baylor because they are a awesome loving family 🙂 power wise.. could I also be an animal mage in House Baylor? It would be soo cool to have a familiar… *____*
I’m from Germany btw!
Magic? Yes please!
But what kind?
No fire based talents. My hot flashes are already bad enough.
No wind based talents. I remember what it felt like when I got a little piece of grit under my contacts. Now, I hate having to keep cleaning my glasses.
No water talent. My hair goes nuts when it’s humid.
Growing larger or violence? Already been there, done that (see menopausal symptoms, above re: fire talent)
I love animals. But not the vet bills.
Plants are great … except when they give you hives or, in the case of every rose I’ve ever met, when they attack you.
Knowing when people are telling you the truth? Sometimes it’s better when you don’t.
You know what? It sounds like I need to be an Antistasi – and a Prime, since I’m so bad with everything else.
So House – Antistasi Prime.
Might it help that the folks came to Canada (International Blogger) from Italy? And that I love wine?
Yup. House Sagredo for sure.
I would be in House Ade Afefe. I would be able to call the rains, and send them away.
House Beylor/Elementalist
Live in Switzerland
I totally want to be related to Nevada and her awesome family, but I’d want the animal powers from House Harrison.
New Zealand
House Tremaine as a Truthseeker of course! It’d be great to work in politics to filter the truth from the lies.
I’d be an enerkinetic, but a variant that can nullify magic (or enhance it) in a given area. Not sure what house, but I’d be a dark horse because in a world where everyone relies on their magic, to suddenly lose it would be terrifying. I’m in the US.
Without a doubt I would want to be in House Harrison. I already empathise with animals better than people so it would be a natural fit and to notch that empathy up would be awesome.
UK reader
House Sherwood or House Rio. I wouldn’t want to be in a combat house and I like the idea of biomed research. Probably would want a power related to fungus like Brian.
From Philippines. House Baylor. As a Siren with sub set power of a cloaker.
House Sherwood once Edward took over (if he decided to maintain the house) . I think lots of beautiful growing plant power would be awesome.
USA
I would like to teleport, don’t know what house that is – maybe house Forsberg? If not, an animal mage from house Harrison for sure! I’m from South Africa.
If I have to choose based on the people in the House… Maybe House Latimer because at the moment it seems as if they aren’t as corrupted by power and behave with a lot of compassion when they wanted to help Nevada.
Based on what type of Magic I would like to have… Magister Exemplaria would have helped lots during my Maths studies! And I really like patterns so part of House Baylor would work!
Switzerland
I would pick House Harrison and the animals for sure! What fun it would be to communicate with all the wonderful beasties. I’m living in Weimar, Germany!
I would be in House Rogan. Who doesn’t want to be a powerful telekinetic??
(International)
House Baylor
Breaker, Prime with subset Empath, Notable
Free as appropriate or as needed those Hexed encountered during investigations.
Hello from France,
Saw you in RARE at Paris 🙂 (we were the group of four fans)
I like the sound of House LATIMER and Telekinetic FTW 🙂
With love from Paris
Alain
I would be either in House Baylor as a Siren Prime or House Sagredo as an Antistasi Prime. I’ve always identified with Catalina the most of the sisters and I feel that I would act in a manner similar to her about letting people get close to me. But I also think Antistasi would be a good fit, something I would be really good at even if it wasn’t at prime level. I tend to be good at keeping people from knowing what I’m really thinking and I think that could translate into the Antistasi power pretty well
I’m going to be predictable and say House Baylor. They aren’t limited to just one gift, and I love the family dynamics. That said, House Harrison would be awesome too – I’d love to be an animal mage!
I am in Australia 🙂
I think my first comment posted at a reply-
Oh! It’s hard to choose. I would really love to control the weather so probably House Ade-Afefe. Secondary animal powers a la House Harrison would be fun too!
House Harrison, often underestimated but comfortably well off and happy not being in the limelight/line of fire. Very cool animal powers. Empathy issue is a worry though. I’m Hazel from England, UK.
Oooh! I’d definitely be an elementalist. A pyrokinetic, maybe with a smaller air talent. Which would put me in House Pierce.
Or at least an Australian offshoot
(Which would make me very handy in bushfire season!)
Uhm. House Rogan as maybe Connor sister, another Prime telekinetic.
Or House Harrison, as a Prime obviously with a predilection for very Big Cats, I just love them. Fluffy Cats! Maybe with a big enclosure with different climate made possible by circles created by Weather Mages that could self sustain.
Big Fluffy Cats <3 I'm so in love with them, but also Little Fluffy Cats like Pallas. Yes, probably I will be better as a Prime in House Harrison.
Also, I'm from Italy.
Lenora Jordan’s house.. I can’t actually find what house she belongs to. Shes just seems like an epic lady boss, and on top of that she is fully comfortable turning up naked and busting out her chains of judgement.
From New Zealand
As things stand, I would say House Harrison, because I’m really good with animals, but I think I would have secondary Magister Examplaria powers.
I’m in France, by the way. Thanks for organizing the give-away.
I’d choose House Sherwood after Edward took over 🙂 I love my little garden very much and would be thrilled to have the ability helping grow more of wonderful flowers and trees!
I am currently situated in Austria.
Warm regards,
Melanie
I’ve always wantes to be Jean Grey, so I would be a Telekinetic Telepath and a part of House Rogan.
Hmm, power wise I’d love to be some form of Aquakinetic, but a house is also about the people and the Baylor family and House Baylor is just awesome.
House harrison. Uk
I want in the Baylor family. I love the “one for all and all for one” attitude. It’s beautiful. Maybe a telekinetic?
Animals rock – I would be a member of House Harrison and my power would be “therionology”! Being a little on the sidelines of all the House drama in a bonus too, IMO.
I’m in Germany.
I spent my whole life as a Magister Examplaria – and managed to get employed to do that for most of it, so at least a few other people think that’s not just a vain boast! So probably best in one of the investigative houses. Don’t think I could manage working for Augustine or Matthias Forsberg, and not ever military, so probably not on Connor’s team picks – so probably best jon Baylor as Bern’s sidekick! (I’m in the UK).
House Harrison because I like working with animals.
International reader
I’d want to belong to House ade afe maybe you could reduce the effects of climate change or global warming if you worked together with a lot of other house memebers
I’m from the UK
I would love to be in House Harcourt and be a Summoner. Arcane magic sounds cool and mysterious and i would love to summon interesting (by that i mean destructive) things. Hi i’m from Kenya, Africa.
Woah! I’d go for House Etterson. I think being a poison mage would be so interesting! You can be on call as a specialist and help others, but there’s also room for mischief. ?
Oooh I’ve always wanted to be a telekinetic so House Marcus!
I’m from New Zealand 🙂
I would love to belong to House Harrison. I absolutely adore animals. My special power would be the ability to yank summoned animals from their “mostly evil summoners.” Outside the obvious characters, I adore Cornelius and Matilda.
I live in CONUS, which is better known to civilian groups as the Continental United States. I hope hope I win!
I love animals so House Harrison would be my home. Instead of pbther companions I would opt for cheetahs. I am a senior citizen USA reader who would Love an ARC. Sigh, us golden oldies never get chosen.
Oh what a treat!
I would love to be related to Nevada and co. but House Harcourt seems so magical! I know they were not the greatest people in the story but alas the Arcane realm sure seems extraordinary. So I would probably enjoy being a Summonitor with a secondary talent set of an Animator. What fun that could be.
Much love from Hungary.
— an international reader
It’s not so much the house and the powers but the way you use them….
I would like to be a part of Herbamagos House with the same kick arse approach and attitude as someone in house Baylor
—New Zealand
American here! Would love to belong to House Montgomery with the illusory talent!
House Baylor-Rogan:
(future) Daughter of Nevada Frida Baylor Rogan and Connor Ander Rogan.
Dual: Telekinetic-Siren. And since I am my grandmother’s granddaughter, ‘My hand won’t shake. My aim won’t falter. The sound of a bullet will be the last thing they’ll hear before they die.’ (or… splat- but mom wouldn’t like that)
-from UAE
Combat illusionist, House Montgomery. Possibly a secret ops or assassin type, but actually really likes Nevada and house Baylor, and so would not act against them. I’m in the United States. Thanks for the opportunity!
House Baylor because the family sticks together with sound morals. My power would be pattern mage.
Secondary choice would be House Harrison. Love the idea of communicating with animals.
I’m from Georgia, USA
Hi!
House Montgomery for me, to be able to change the way I look, and sneak up evrywhere! 🙂
Thanks!
France
Australia Here.
I’d love to be part of House Harrison with Animal Magic. I already get on better with animals than people, so it’s not that much of a stretch. It would be so awesome to be know what the cats are thinking when they stare at some random thing that only they see.
For family/dear friends I would love Nevada, Catalina & their whole family, but power-wise, I feel more drawn towards house Harrisson or House Ade-Afefe… Both would be a good fit I think.
I’m from Italy and love love love your books, dear AL!!
All the best wishes!
House Sherwood so I could make my currently sad little garden. Leap to life!
Zagreb , Croatia here!
A Telekinetic Telepath, part of House Rogan! 🙂
House Harrison – Animal Mage without a doubt.
Australia
House Sherwood (under Edward), because plant magic could prove useful in reversing climate change.
House Sherwood, a plant mage just because I like plants xD
Germany
I am fascinated by the idea of telekinesis, so therefore house Marcus.
I would also love to know what my cats think, so house Harrison would be great as an alternative .
It was very hard to choose! I am from the UK, so international giveaway.
Reading the comments we are a truly international set of readers (and presumably BDH, too)
I took that poll to find your power that was posted a few months ago, and I polled as a Magister Exemplaria. This is actually a really good fit for me, since I am a software engineer and majored in math. Since I’m lucky enough to have an equivalent magical representative in the Baylor Family, that’s definitely the House for me!
I am a continental US resident.
So exciting! I think I’d love to be in House Rogan and be a telekinetic telepath 🙂 It would be so cool to have physical and mental magic!
(New Zealand)
I would like to be an aquakinetic (which is house Collins) but would love to be closer to House Baylor or Rogan because that’s where all the cool stuff happens 😉 Second choice House Harrison as an animal mage- likely less hazard pay but safer than House Baylor/Rogan
US
I’d love to be telekinetic, so I guess house Rogan it is!
I’m in France
Tough call. I think House Rogan, but I want Aegis (Shield) like Li Min.
I would chose to be part of House Rogan, definitely worth putting up with the mad part for the loyalty behind!
Powers obviously telekinesis, but also a secondary power of being able to teleport objects (inert only, nothing alive!). Old dream of mine…
Faithful reader from the UK!
I would love to be an animal mage in House Harrison.
(New Zealand)
I would like to be part of House Harrison. It would be awesome to bond with animals, to really know what they think and feel. I’m in the United States.
I’d love to be an antistasi so house sagredo I guess! I’m from India.
Hello there,
I am Alessandro Sagredo’s lost cousin ;). The level of my magic is to be tested but I am awesome any way ;). The family just found me in Bulgaria.
Love to you all.
I would be in House Montgomery. I’m frequently liken to chameleon, and honestly, I think would rather manipulative a la Augustine. I am a US resident.
House Harrison and be an Animal Mage, that way I could communicate better with my horse. I keep reading to him and showing him youtube clips of beautiful dressage but he doesn’t really get it. I am in Australia
Thanks for the really nice giveaway! How not to choose House Baylor while I met all these wonderful characters! Love them so much so I would love to be part of their house. And I think I would like to be a Breaker. Thanks for everything, I’m from France.
I would love to be a member of House Sherwood – plant mages. I am a gardener and would love the power to grow fantabulous gardens. Please consider me for Sapphire Flames book giveaway.
I’d love to be able to talk to animals so I’d choose House Harrison. I’m in Australia
I love animals, so I would like to be a part of House Harrison! ? I’m from Indonesia.
I would be House Ade Afefe…. I would love being able to modify the weather….
Thanks again for all you books.
I’m from France (We met at the RARE, we were so happy for you to come and meet us).
Hi!
I feel really close to animals so I guess I would really like to be an Animal Mage. House Harrison it is!
I’m from Germany! 🙂
House Ade-Afefe because weather mages are awesome so possibly an aerokinetic?
Melbourne, Australia
Oh gosh this is a fun thing to think about. I would definitely be an antistasi and belong to house Sagredo. Not as glamorous as a Pyro but no mental mage is going to screw with my head!
I live in Bangalore, India.
House Harrison and animagus would be great!
Anna from Norway
I think I would be House Harrison and an Animal Mage. I could finally understand some of my more stubborn animals on the farm. I’m from Kentucky in the US. Thanks
Since I’m so paranoid, I’d want to be in House Sagredo because that way I’d be an antistasi and no telepath could read my mind and no manipulator could control me.
I’m in Romania
House Harrison, because I love animals and the ability to get closer to some of the more dangerous ones sounds amazing.
Thank you! I am from the Netherlands.
I’d like to be an Animal Mage of House Harrison – after years of training I’m pretty good at communicating with our iguana, chameleon and bearded dragons?I would love to know what they are thinking!
I’m from Germany.
I would love to be an animal mage in House Harrison. My specialty would be communicating with horses. Its unlikely but my pick would be Prime Therionologist / Magus Empath.
I am glad you are feeling better. Loved the weight loss message. It sounds plausible to me.
(I am from Australia)
Ooh, so much fun! I would love to be a member of House Collins because having an aqua kinetic talent sounds awesome. Manipulating water sounds useful in everyday life as well as having potentially useful business applications.
I’m Annabelle, from Singapore
It seems, from the comments, I would like to join the most popular house – House Harrison. I live in the country with pretty much only animals around so it would be handy. I live in Brigueuil, France.
I love my garden and therefore would like to be a herbamagos Prime. That would make me part of house Sherwood :-). I am from Germany
I would want to be part of House Baylor. I love their family dynamic and my power would probably be precog or along the mental line of predicting events. What I would want to be would be one of the elemental powers, probably aquakintetic. I’m based in New Zealand 🙂
I’d want to be a member of House Jordan. One Lenora is awesome.Two being able to bind other rampaging primes at will would always come in handy,in the world of Hidden Legacies.
I would probably be an animal mage from House Harrison. I love animals. And having an understanding of the intricate workings of my cat’s mind would be an added benefit 🙂
Animal mage from House Harrison! I am in the US.
I would choose Baylor but not for any of the sisters’ magic. I would want Grandma Frida’s and use it to make an Iron Man suit.
Hi! So I want to be a weather mage (who doesn’t want to have the occasional snow day at their will?) so for me it would have to be House Ade-Afefe. I’m in Switzerland.
I’m in the USA.
And there are so many amazing abilities in the Hidden Legacy world, its almost too hard to pick just one.
I would really like to be a member of House Latimer. They seem to have a strong moral code, from what little we’ve seen of them.
Furthermore, I’ve been imagining T’challa and his family in my head when I think of this House, and somehow that means they’d be tech mages. And I’m really down for that.
House Harrison so I could ask the cat to please gack on the tile instead of the carpet. US.
(Oops I accidentally posted to the feeing better thread, please feel free to delete that one)
Probably House Jordan? Bad ass, powerful and moral – Lenora definitely is what every girl wants to be when they grow up.
Side note: wooo giveaway! I’m from the UK and it’s not every day we get international giveaways!
I would like to be a animal mage in house Harrison then I could be the definitive crazy cat lady ?
From UK
Hmmmmm. I think I would like to be part of House Salgredo. Be nice to look at Count Allesandro! More importantly, with all the powerful Primes in other Houses, maybe I could live a bit longer if I had the power to nullify magic as an Antistasi Prime. Thanks fir the opportunity ti win an ARC. I am so looking forward to the book!
Mary Ann Stein
USA
I’d like to be telekinetic from house Rogan on my father’s side while herbamagus from house Sherwood on my mother’s side. I’d have Significant telekinesis and Notable telepathy for self defense and flight and Significant herbamagus to be able to grow a delicious and beautiful garden, but not a Prime. I’d make my little brother a double Prime, though. I like house Rogan’s loyalty, so they would be our primary affiliation. My husband would be from house Harrison with Significant animal mage powers from his father’s side of the family, while also inheriting Significant pyrokinetics from his mother’s family in house Pierce. I’m in the US.
I would be part if House Harrison, because to be able to summon and control arcane animals sounds like a dream job!
Ooooh. I would definitely want to be in House Harrison as a Significant animal mage! I love animals and it would be awesome to be able to communicate with them (pet tiger yay). Plus they seem to keep out of inter house politics and while wealthy they are not super crazy rich which means more freedom to hang around playing with animals all day.
I’m in Romania 🙂
I would definitely chose to be a Siren / part of House Baylor – the siren talent is so interesting and multi faceted whilst the Baylor family seems like such a warm, loving and caring family environment.
Much love from Switzerland 🙂
A Telekinetic in House Rogan.
Never have enough hands, especially when cooking! And cleaning and yard work would be easier, but would probably be able hire people for that…
Thank you from RI, USA.
House Rio – herbamangos. It ‘s spring. My garden needs all the help it can get.
Thanks so much for the opportunity.
I thought long and hard what I would like to be. Finally decided on House Baylor. There are so many possibilities!! So Elenchus will be my choice (but animal mage comes close).
I live in Germany.
Telekinetic, House Rogan! Greece!
I think it would be cool to be a Breaker and be able to work with and ‘break’ mental Hexes. We only learn a bit about this whole concept and I think it’s really interesting.
I don’t think we know about any famous Breaker Houses yet, but I guess I would fit into House Lin – Thruthseekers and Breakers seem close. And of course I would help with all those government contracts ;)!
Best whishes from Germany to you all.
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always loved dealing with weather. So think I would love to be part of the House Ade-Afefe.
House Sherwood, with the powers of a tree mage! I could live in a forest 🙂
New Zealand
Thank you for this give-away. I am from the Netherlands, and I would love to have an ARC!
I think I would like to be a Pyrokinetic. That would probably mean House Pierce, but then I could maybe redeem the house by using the power to do good!
House Baylor – My magick: Antistasi
Definitely house Harrison so I can converse with my cousins English bulldog and find what the heck is going on in his numbnut brain.
Australia
House Rogan. Telekinesis seems to be a supremely useful talent to master, especially with all the fighting between houses. Being part of such a rich house would be awesome as well!!
Omg this is soo exciting just thinking this new book has me anxious for Aug. This is a tough question I am bias so would say House Baylor they have so many diff powers. If I had to choose another it would be house Harrison. I mean I already feel super connected to animals. It would be so nice to know how they feel. I swear I would become a super hero saving all abused animals. I suspect I would end up having a mini farm/zoo from all the rescues.
Definitely House Harrison to work with animals, although I would add House Sherwood for the ability to work with trees if there were any possibility to mix houses. Hooray for organismal bio magic! I’m in the US.
House Montgomery – Illusionist. Sounds interesting and fun. Could be useful in a number of ways.
I’d like to be a telekinetic in House Rogan.
I would like to be a long-range Teleporter so House Rogan or House Frosberg.
This may sound conceited but alas my powers would be so powerful and all consuming that no one house could contain my sheer awesomeness, because really there is only one like me hence I would have my own house, first of thy name and all that. Whilst I dabble in many a magical designation my major power would be time travel.
Romy 🙂
Melbourne, Australia
House Montgomery, without a doubt. Why worry about new hairdos or wardrobe when it can be achieved through illusion? Plus, turning invisible, cool.
I’d love to be part of House Sagredo, being an Antistasi mage seems very interesting!
And I’m from Italy ?
Thanks for this wonderful chance
House Montgomery – Illusion is the power to have. No worries about a bad hair day or if you have put on a few pounds. Plus in a fight, you could make yourself look like an ally or just go invisible.
I would want to be a part of House Harrison and work with animals!
Hi from South Africa.
I’d definitely want to be in House Montgomery – illusion magic FTW!
I would be House Harrison, and an Animal Mage with a special affinity for birds, especially birds of prey.
I would probably belong to House Baylor, Lin, Shaffer, or Molpe. In my job as Dean of Students, I am always working to get the truth out of students and parents as part of any of my investigations and ever since I was a teen (part of my baby sitting jobs) I have used my voice to sooth or in some way influence children’s behavior. When I was a nanny in Europe, the family I worked for always said that”I had a way with their children”. I would not be a prime but probably a significant as a siren with secondary minor truth seeker gifts.
I’m appreciative of the chance to be randomly selected to read what I’m sure will be a great book ahead of its release.
I’m in Jamaica. Yessss Ilona Andrew’s has a fan here too lol
Based on how I’m feeling House Tremaine for me. I wanna pop the truth out of some people in my life lol.
House Ade-Afefe: Aerokinetic
Would be lovely to fly around! No bus throwing!
I like water so Aquakinetic . there not a lot of House with Aquakinetic power so House Collins.
Canada
i woul love to be in House Ade-Afefe. Perfect weather always!
Al the best from Spain, Ana
I am in the US and I would be a part of House Harrison. I would be an animal mage and I’m pretty sure my specialization would be large cats.
House Harrison, I need to have a good talk with my dog.
I would like to be in House Ade Afefe (I hope I spelled that correctly- I listen to the audiobooks) and dance with the wind.
Melissa
Canada
I’d love to be part of House Rogan. Telekinesis sounds just so useful in everyday life, not just for squashing your enemies 😀
I don’t want to take part in the giveaway, your books are on auto-buy on my amazon anyways and I’d rather support you in this small way by paying for them (as probably all of the people here). Thank you so much for all your work, devotion and imagination! Your books have helped me survive through hard times and have been with me for years. Thank you!
I always wanted to control water so aquakinetic in house collin. Im from israel
Hi AL I would love to be of house Harrison. I adore animals. I’m from Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. Thanks for this opportunity and have loved your works forever. Yours sincerely Kathy
Oops, accidentally replied to an existing comment.
So again. I’m from Singapore. Can’t wait for the book to be out. While I would love to be able to get animals and birds to do my bidding, to be immune to poison would be awesome in the violent world with magic. So House Etterson.
House Ade-Afefe for the win!! I would definitely love to be a weather mage!!
Fera from Indonesia. Want to marry to House Latimer. Aerokinetic mage.
House Pierce or House Howling because fire or lightning 🙂
Norway
Hello! I would love to be in Houee Collins as an aquakinetic! If this was my fantasy story, I would actually want one of my parents to be from House Harrison as well so I get a secondary trait of animal mage so I could talk to animals (including underwater creatures). Yes…..basically I want to be like Aquaman lol. I’m in NYC, USA.
Hi, Nancy from USA. I’d prefer to be part of House Howling. To be able to throw lighting bolts would be, well, Thor-like. Not possessing a lot of upper body strength, this ability would help me to defend myself and my house.
House Rogan. I’d be a telekinetic prime so I could save people who had buses thrown at them and otherwise be lazy by making the vacuum move itself.
I would want to be House Harrison. To be able to communicate with animals would be useful but also hilarious.
Would love an ARC, but will also buy a digital copy to go with the rest of the series I already own?
House Baylor! Magister Examplaria, I love solving puzzles and patterns and I’d rather be part of a house with heart.
House Sherwood – would love to be another tree mage… and be as responsive to nature and those lovely apple/fruit trees like Edward.
Love this series and the Innkeeper series; and can’t wait for the next books.
Thank you from Biloxi, MS.
House Harrison for sure! Not only could I talk to my three fur-babies, but nothing would be cooler than having your enemies ate by a large, vicious feline
Howdy from Houston!
House Harrison for me. Cats already plot to kill on a daily basis. It would be nice to be able to encourage those skills to be used on other people.
I’d be a Therionologist in House Harrison and I’d hang out with animals and avoid most humans!
Definitely House Rogan and telekinetic. This power seems to be so handy. Plus so much fun to be with Arrosa Rogan and Mia Rosa García Ramírez Arroyo del Monte.
Anna from Poland
House Shaffer. There is power in Truth.
I would choose either Ade-Afefe or an unnamed aerokinetic house. To control weather or air, would be very useful and cool.
Diana
If you could be a part of any house in The Hidden Legacy universe, which House would you be in and what would your power be?
I really would want the ability to heal, but I don’t think a house with that power has been identified. I also would love the Hopper powers, but I don’t know a specific house for those either. So I’ll settle on House Harrison for the animal mage powers. Those are pretty dang cool too!
I’m in the US, NC to be more precise!
House Ade-Afefe because being in tune and knowing what the weather will be would be awesome
Ohhhhh, so much to pick from. OK, after much thought, I would be in House Baranovsky. I am the illegitimate daughter of Gabriel Baranovsky; acknowledged by my father, supported, but kept under wraps for safety sake. My talents are from my father, Oneiromance(which I inherited from him) and combat magic, which came from my mother)who will later be determined. I am duel, and I kick ass.
House Ade-Afefe sounds fun. I’m always a fan of extreme weather, but most likely I’d be House Harrison because animals already tend to bond to me quickly. And I have a bit of a ferret army…
House Baylor, and I would be a Mimic Prime. This mage would not have any power of their own other than the ability to mimic any mage they came into physical contact with. They would only be able to mimic one power at a time and would have to keep their ability very secret because most would either hate them or want to control them.
Natalia from Poland. I choose house Forsberg – hopping would be extremalnie useful in the busy mornings ?
House Baylor because… well, do I really need to explain? I’d have the power of empathy. 🙂
I’d like to be in house Rogan, so I could be telekinetic! I’m from Brazil.
I really can’t decide. It would either be House Harrison (because I’m most of the way there already), or House Montgomery.
I would love to be a part of House Baylor. I think their family dynamic is wonderful, so I’d love to be a part of such a supportive and awesome group. I think I’d be a Magus Sagittarius. Good eye hand coordination has always been my thing. I am from the USA.
I would like to be part of House Harrison because I am a softie for animals. And I would like to have a “talk” with our local wild rabbits about them eating my flowers! ?
To be a part of this world even just as an ordinary person would be blessing enough. I can’t imagine being a witness to all the magic. that happens. Realistically though I would probably become a villain and protest the injustice of it haha
So, to avoid being the bad guy I choose to be a part of Lenora Jordan’s House. To be able to summon chains out of thin air would be so handy. but mostly, I like law and order, courtroom drama, and like santa’s helpers, checking who’s been naughty or nice. hehe
Joy
Philippines
I would be part of House Pierce and use my fire magic to forge metal.
I would be part of House Nightingale because I like the name and, so far, no particular power has been associated with their house. I would love to be able to teleport. I have always wanted to travel, since I was very young, but I’ve never had the means to do so beyond a few trips here and there. Being able to see the world on my shoestring budget would be such an amazing experience.
I’m in the US.
Hi. I’m. Ericka from the US. I would definitely be an herbamagos. I love gardening. I’d still choose house Baylor for the family dynamics.
House Montgomery, Invisibility. I’m from Australia
House Harrison 100% give me all the animals! Caitlin from the US
House Rio (herbomagos)
It would make gardening so much easier.
From Australia
I would be part of a yet undiscovered house whose talent lies in some sort of time manipulation. Would I use my powers to give myself immortality or just to read more books? Probably both.
Hello from Canada ??
I would love to be a truth seeker in House Baylor.
Hi! I’m living in Finland. I’d be an aerokinetic! Who wouldn’t want to fly?! And the closest to that might be house Ade-Afefe, I could be a random extra to their genetics 🙂
House Harrison! We live with wildlife in Mississippi and now they are going to build 100’s of small houses in the farmland around our 20 acres. I’d like to talk to the deer, box turtles, rabbits , fox, coyotes, raccoons, opossums and snakes where they can go for safety.
The idea of being able to use my gift to help cure diseases and the like, so I’d like to be an
The idea of being able to use my gift to help cure diseases and the like, so I’d like to be an Herbamagus in House Sherwood.
So excited about the next foray in the Hidden legacy world.
I would like to be from House Vidente and be an Oneiromancer
I am from France
Hug and kisses
House Pierce. Cause fire ? I would love to be a pyrokinetic. I’ve always had a fascination with fire and that particular ability.
USA – I would prefer house Etterson as it would be nice to safely consume anything.
I would chose House Sherwood, the herbomagus. Now that I am retired I can see a huge advantage in being powerful over bindweed.
L from Australia
I would love to be in House Rogan for two reasons – firstly there’s the better chance I would be a Prime Telekinetic, which I think enables me to fly. This is literally my favourite hypothetical superpower that comes out whenever they ask that silly overused “What would your superpower be?” question during group job interviews.
I do vaguely recall something in the books saying flying or transporting other humans is rare and dangerous, so if telekinetic can’t fly that’s sad but I’ll deal. I will accept being able to move through life without ever having to lug multiple bags of heavy groceries again (I have weak arms and hypermobile everything, so heavy bags and I have always struggled to get along).
Also, it sounds like House Rogan has a mad library, which I’d totally be down for.
House Sherwood I would love to have help with my plants!
House Rogan – I always wanted to be able to manipulate objects just with my mind:-).
Jana from US.
UK- most definitely House Rogan. They have to be my favourit characters so strong and stubborn! Even if you were powerless and a part of House Rogan you would be appreciated and would contribute in any way you could.
Thanks for the opportunity!
House Harrison so that I can understand animals! I’m from Singapore.
Hi! Oh I cannot WAIT for this book! I have read all of your series at least 3 times..
House Baylor, hands down. Such HEART. Also, my dad and husband are police officers, and I graduated with Criminology and Organizational Behaviour majors. I feel like I would be well suited for investigations 🙂
Living in Ontario, Canada!
Kay from Malaysia. I’d be in House Baylor, the new Breaker
Emily from Tennessee, I have a tough time choosing between house Harrison and Frosberg cuz I’d ove to be able to talk to animals but I also have issues with motion sickness and skipping car and plane rides would rock!
House Jorden! Chains are good but the mental ability to read the level of and temporarily (or permanently if Prime) nullify evil or harmful intent. Person would not know why they were doing or planning to do something harmful. Would ease pressure on Law and Order to take someone in without violence then wear off once captured. In extreme cases, or for those who petition, this can be done permanently, saving themselves and others. (ie a parent prone to violence.) The risk would be a fundamental change in personality.
House Rogan. It is the best one. They don’t take name just take care of business. United States is my location. Thank you for the chance to get one.
House Baylor – Magister Examplaria.
I’m from Serbia
House Latimer or Baylor, I would love to be part of a family that works together and is not afraid to help others.
Kelly from Canada
House Harrison – and my power would be able to communicate with all cats, bit or small. Ever since seeing Dr. Doolittle as a kid, I’ve wanted to be able to communicate with animals
Definitely House Harrison. Who doesn’t want special animal relationships like that?!
Elizabeth in the US, Wisconsin:
I would choose to be a member of House Tremaine- Victoria is scary but she cares, in her own way, and she is SUPER Bad-ass. I’m not great with understanding people’s motivations so I’d LOVE to understand when they’re lying. Plus then I’d be related to Navada et al.
House Collins. I really love water and storms and it feels a lot more subtle and sneaky than some of the others. I’m from the US.
Jesselyn from the UK! I’d like to be in House Harrison. I’m currently studying to be a vet and it would be so much easier to treat my patients if I could communicate with them more directly!
Hi, Kim from US here. I think I would like to be in House Baylor as a Magister Examplaria like Bern. 😀
I’m in New Mexico and I don’t know what house I would want to be of. Most houses are not families in the supporting and loving foundation a family should be, and I’d want a family, maybe an unknown dark horse riding under the radar much like House Baylor.
House Rogan..Just for the ability to shake things up. I am from the US
Tough decision, but I think House Harrison. I’ve always had a special connection with animals. To be able to really communicate with them would be awesome!
I want to be a Truth seeker in House Baylor to help apprehend criminals, and maybe interview politicians.
I would be a part of House Rogan. I love telekinesis! So cool!
House Harrison. I would love to be able to communicate better with animals. I am in the USA.
I would be apart of House Rogan and my power would be telepathy. I reside in the USA.
House Montgomery here!! All the way!! Illusions…I could look like Jennifer Lopez one day and Beyonce the next!! Whoo Hoo!!
This is a tough question. I’d love House Harrison because animals!
If I had to stay within the book, I’d go for House Tremaine (assuming Victoria Tremaine didn’t scramble my brains, and I was still normal.). It’s a pretty feared House and very powerful.
If I could hop out of the books and come up with my very own power, it would probably be to walk through walls (or any material, really). Imagine the spy you could be with that power!
~ USA
I’m Antia, from Spain! And of course, i would be of house Baylor because they rock it! And my powers, probably Aegis or Shielder. I’ve always loved healers/support characters in videogames and books. More than take action, my thing is protection from behind! I think it’s a very important and underrated position 😉
I’d love to be aerokinetic (because flying, what more needs to be said?) and/or be a mnemonic (I have a terrible memory and therefore basically perfect recall would be absolutely perfect)… I’m not sure what House that would put me in, probably House Ade-Afefe or House Montgomery. From the houses we’ve seen so far that seems to be the one with a skillset closest to mnemonic abilities.
I’m from Germany
I would chose house Baylor because of their ethics, caring for others and getting at the truth, one way or another.
How exciting! I am from Quebec, Canada. i would like the power to neutralize poison! I like the idea of keeping every one safe.
My 1st choice would be House Latimer. Their powers haven’t been disclosed yet. But whatever powers House Latimer has are enough to 1) make powerful houses like Rogan and Montgomery to treat House Latimer cautiously and respectfully and 2) House Harcourt to seek their protection via an alliance. I also find it compelling that they are willing to actively and discreetly assist domestic abuse victims, even at the risk of offending other powerful houses.
My 2nd choice would be House Strum. Controling the weather could be profitable (working with insurance companies to prevent tornadoes, hurricanes, and flooding; working with farmers to grow crops; working with ski resorts to ensure optimal snow conditions, etc.) and House Stum has proven itself to be very powerful. Granted the men of House Strum are a few cards short of a full deck. But they are now dead or in jail after Wildfire, so it is the perfect time for someone else in the House to seize the position of head of House Strum.
My 3rd choice would be House Baranovsky. Being an oneiromancer (predicting the future by dreaming) that dreams of the stock market would be extremely lucrative. But it seems that those with precog abilities are frequently murdered in the Hidden Legacy world (i.e. House Vidente and Baranovsky). What good is 1) knowing the future if you don’t see the threat to yourself or 2) all of that money if you aren’t alive to enjoy it?
Victoria (US) – I think a mix of Illusionist/Harmonizer would be great and can be applied in so many ways, hopefully to do something good. House Montgomery.
House Harrison because I’d love that affinity with animals. I’m in Norway and also could blog a review 🙂
I’m Ana B from the US. I’d go for House Montgomery. Intel and camouflage are important.
I’d probably be an animal mage in House Harrison. Who needs friends when you can have an army of emus and cows?
Megan
I would like to be House Baylor because I love the people in that house. But I would like to be an Animal Mage. Maybe not powerful, but I love animals. I would like to have the Metamorphose as a power. I would shape shift in to various animals.
Thank you for doing this! If I weren’t so allergic, I’d pick House Harrison, but as it is I would love to be a Herbamage under Edward Sherwood, so Houde Sherwood it is.
South Africa here! House Vidente for me please, simply because I took the buzfeed quiz and apparently precognition suits me ?
I’d want to be from House Harrison and be an animal mage. (from the US)
House Howler.
microfulgarkinetic – specifically the electrical impulses in computers smartphones etc.
U.S.A.
House Baylor!! Whatever Leon’s power is! To be in the shadows as a Dark Horse for my house. 🙂
I’d love to have weather mage powers. That way I could stop natural disasters (given that my house and my town were devastated by Hurricane Michael last year). And I’d love to form my own house- ha! But I guess I would be in the Ade-Afefe House.
I like to travel and dislike the waste of time getting from place to place (for mundane things like groceries and work), so I would love to be a Hopper from House Forsberg. (USA)
I enjoy and appreciate the inclusion of multicultural characters. The House of Ade-Afefe demonstrated their ability to take on one of the most feared, Alexander Strum, and succeed. Also, the use of cultural relevant practices to call their magic intrigued me. I with House Ade-Afefe.
Tiffany – US
Telekinesis, House Rogan
I am lazy. It would be so cool to pick something up from across the room when you are all warm under a blanket. 😀
The ability to heal physical wounds or illness would be an awesome ability. Don’t know if that is a ability of any house. As a parent there have been many times that I wished that I could make an illness go away or heal a sprained ankle, etc.
Totally house Baylor. I love the way they are outside the system, that they do things because they believe it’s right. I love the idea of being a healer or perhaps the poison control person. That would be awesome.
I’m in the US.
I’m from the USA.
I think I would fit best into House Vidente; I really enjoy systems and history and infrastructure and trying to predict the future based on what has happened and is happening is sort of my jam 🙂
Also, thanks for the info about Wicked Scribes — seems like an awesome resource, and has been added to my RSS feed!
Ashley (US), this is such a hard decision! I think I would have to go with House Ade-Afefe. Mainly because I live in tornado alley!
I would be in House Sherwood because I have always had an affinity for plants and I would be able to make plants grow and flourish! Imagine having the power to grow enough food to feed people.
I would like to be House Sagredo (Antistasi). I like the idea of protecting others from all the magic flying around. Thanks for this giveaway.
I’m in Austria!
Which House is REALLY hard, because we don’t know the primary powers of so many. I’m tempted to say Latimer or Duncan, just so that I would know their freaking powers.
However, I would go with House Rogan, perhaps a relative of Arrosa Rogan’s mother (she had to get the Empathy from somewhere!) I’d love to be a Prime Harmonizer, maybe with a secondary talent of Empathy. It would be incredible to walk into a room and alter how people interacted with me by what I was wearing* or how I fiddled with my purse or played with an earring. With Empathy to support it, I could change people’s minds and they’d never know it, not to mention extracting information. I might not be a full member of House Rogan, but I’d TOTALLY come work for/be a vassal of Arrosa’s, although not necessarily Connor & Nevada directly. Maybe occasionally seconded to House Baylor Investigations.
House Baylor – something to do with fabrication, something that can assist Grandma Frida with her special orders. 🙂 Probably an arcane magic.
Thank you!
Rose, USA
I’m Bonnie from the US. I think I’d be a truthseeker in House Lin. The alternatives are House Tremaine and Shaffer and we all know those aren’t the best options… Truthseeking because I think honesty is the best quality a person can have
I am Samantha from Houston, Texas! I find this series so much fun to take place in my backyard. Since I love animals I would pick House Harrison to better communicate and bond with them.
House Baylor and a Siren (USA).. wasn’t my choice ? came as a result of personality test on blog.. I guess I’m an engineer who really loves her friends ????
Oh gosh!! Yes yes yes!
I would pick House Harrison – I love animals!
(USA)
I have always wanted to be telekinetic. so I suppose that would put me in house Rogan. (And I’m ok with that 🙂 ) And as a side if i were in that house, i would have been trained in all the circle drawing – I have always wanted to draw well – I can barely draw stick people – so that would be a lovely bonus.
Thanks for all the happy hours reading!
Christy
Atlanta, GA, USA
House Baylor all the way
England
House Baylor with Telekinesis abilies, I’d love to be able to move things.
I’m Ba from Ohio and I’d be in House Rogan and my magic would be telaporter. Would love anyplace I want with just a thought
House Montgomery because their intel is on point, and without intel your a lame duck in the water.
I think this is harder than it should be because there are so many houses we know nothing about. I can imagine all sorts of powers that probably exist…
I’d pick House Sherwood, but on the more useful fruit/tree side, not the fungus side. 😛 So many of the powers people have seem to be rarely used because they’re so destructive. It would be nice to have something you could use regularly and see it do good.
I`d take House Latimer, with the same reasoning that has been mentioned in an earlier comment – powerful, and actually helping victims of domestic abuse in a society that generally allows the powerful to get away with everything. As power, I`d take the Aegis, because it would be just cool to be able to protect people from bullets.
And I`m in Germany.
Hi, I am Ann and I would like to be an Elementalist with the house of Ade-Afefe. Between the Tornadoes and Flooding, we could really use a weather mage to send some of this wind and rain to where it is really needed. St. Louis, Missouri. Let’s Go Blues!!!
I think I’d be in House Montgomery and illusion. I’m in the US.
I would be a prime in House Montgomery. It’s so sneaky.
I’d have to go with House Harrison as an animal mage because I have had so many animals and would like to bind with them. I always wonder what my dog is thinking when he puts his ears up and cocks his head with pleading eyes.
I’m in NC, USA
Although most of House Sherwood confused their pursuit of $$ & power with their gift of green growing things – I would think bringing back the string theory of common sense would be outstanding.
House Sherwood for me, but the beauty of weather from Ade-Afefe would be a wonderful double!
Regina from the US here. I’d like to be in House Latimer, so I could finally know what Michael can do.
Earline from the US – I’d want to be in House Baylor but as a Magister Examplaria. I love seeing patterns!
I’m Anne from the US and would love to be part of House Hamilton.
I am Marion, from France. I would be House Montgomery because what is life but illusions ? And also, less “seriously”, I just want to know what Augustine really looks like !
Thank you so much for opening the giveaway to international 🙂
I’m Megan from the US. Despite the whole ‘difficulty bonding with people’ aspect, I would love to be a part of House Harrison. That kind of relationship with animals would be so interesting. I would get to see the world from so many different perspectives
Hi from Oshawa, Canada,
My choice would to be a Prime Herbamagos in House Sherwood creating inexpensive easily reproduced magical cures for all.
USA. I’m old now, so I rarely get flying dreams anymore, but an air mage would be just so cool. So is that House Ade-Afefe? House Baylor includes a variety of magic, so maybe they could use an air mage? That would be my choice.
Hi! I’m Emily from the US and I would love to be an empath in House Harrison. Animals are the best, and I’d be surrounded with people who could use a little more sunshine in their lives.
I would be a pattern mage. I love puzzles and seeing patterns in everyday life.
Really torn between being an Animal Mage and a Telekinetic, but I think I’d rather be a kickass Telekinetic and just have a cat… so sign me up for House Rogan! (I’m in the US.) ^.^
I would stick with House Baylor, but I would want to be an Aegis and protect those I love. 🙂
House Etterson. I’d have the power to detect poison purely because reheating leftover rice carries a risk of botulism and being able to get rid of that would be somewhat handy 🙂
In the UK
I would be in House Baylor, as another Magister Examplaria pattern mage and code breaker (and hacker).
Country: USA
I am in Canada and I am just DYING to read sapphire flames! I’ve been a KD reader for years, but for whatever reason just decided to pick up the Hidden Legacy books this year…and then read them all in a 1.5 week spree!
I think I have to go with House Harrison…I want to imagine I could have both Hippos and Dogs as my loving (and fierce) companions. Also, they seem less likely to be randomly killed!
Hard to choose but I think House Harrison. Some days I swear animals are better than people 🙂
(From Trinidad and Tobago)
I’m torn between Baylor and Sherwood. But I think Baylor probably – it would be really nice sometimes to turn into the Beast of Cologne sometimes…
Setting aside whether or not I like the people in a house or not I think I would love to be an Aquakinetics mage. I would have a loooooot if fun with that. House Baylor is my favorite because of the people in it tho’ ? … house Harrison, Rogan, Ade Afefe , or Pierce are acceptable.
I would like to be a Telekinetic with House Rogan. I like the idea of being able to achieve goals without needing a second pair of arms or reading a book in bed with it floating in front of me.
USA— I would love to be in House Rogan as a telekinetic. I think it would be so neat to be able to move things and not lift a finger.
While any power would be awesome, I think I would choose to be an Aquakinetic and in House Collins. Thank you for these fantastic books!!
I do not remember a house with the particular skill set I would want as a power, but it would be loosely related to Rogan’s family. I would want to be part of a “Finder” house, gifted at locating hidden or forgotten items. Since having this magic wouldn’t protect me from the classic refrigerator blindness, I would need a little telekinesis to pick up things I knew where there but couldn’t see….
Physically present in the US, but clearly out to lunch elsewhere. Thanks for offering these!
Some of the mental stuff sounds irritatingly close to what’s expected to me in real life :-S I think I want something nice and external – in a world where magic is commonplace, that would simplify my life.
Geokinesis, I think 🙂 Which is lacking a house, so I will do a bit of embroidery. House Bandini. Originally out of San Diego, where they have worked in geologic prediction and management of Pacific Rim events for generations, but there’s an offshoot in Houston from members who had other geologic interests. Because of their coastal work and interest in tsunami events, there was some intermarrying with an aquakinetic family a few generations that occasionally produces a secondary (and fairly weak) sensitivity to water.
Over this past year, which has been filled with frustration and struggles, I would have loved to been in House Harcourt and has the power to summon. That would have made me feel better, but not all summonings are wise.
So my final answer would be House Harrison. I come from a family of animal lovers. US Resident.
Happy almost Friday!
House Forsberg – because I think investigating corporate espionage would be really fun – with my ability being “truth telling” (super useful in those investigations)
I would like to be Summoner but not really interested in House Harcourt. Lets go with House Rogan. Know the skill does not match the house but….
Oops. I forgot my location. In US for House Harrison..
Kris from the US. I would have to go with House Collins.
Spain. House Sherwood, The world need more trees. Your books are Amazing, thank you.
From the USA. Some form of Magister Examplaria in House Baylor.
House Harrison, for sure, as an animal mage, with summoning as a secondary power. I definitely fit the mold, as I get along better with critters than people.
I like the idea of being a subset talent like Harmoniser in a house that finds each person’s input to be valuable. So House Rogan (duh!) because the head of House would use my talents for the benefit of the House, and it’d feel pretty great to make my clan happy.
I’m in the UK.
I am from austria and i am a veterinarian. So i would go with house Harrison with the animals 🙂
Greetings from Southern California! I can’t decide between Telekinetic and Teleporter. I can’t pick up anything heavy anymore so it would be really convenient to have telekinesis. But think how cool it would be to be comfy in bed, want another cup of coffee and just teleport to the kitchen to get it! I’m gonna go with Teleport!
England. House Sherwood. The green thumb my grandma and mother have skipped me. I
would love to have a house full of plants that I can’t kill. A herb mage would be cool I think. Definitely help with cooking lol
I would love to be a part of house Ade Afefe, it may be weird but i love a good thunderstorm, also my daughter has her birthday in the middle of summer yet every year so far it has rained on her birthday!it would be cool to bring a little sun sometimes ?
Greeting from Serbia?
Yay yes please
I’m so excited thank you for being awesome!!!
Thank you !
I would be in house sherwood with the ability to control leafy green plants. Always underestimated, but my plants could take out walls and tie you to the ground! I’m in the US!
Erica from the US. I think being a weather mage from house Ade-Afefe would be cool.
House Harrison for me! Animal mage would be awesome! Kaitlyn From Canada. Thanks for doing the giveaway!
House Harrison for me! Animal mage would be awesome! From Canada Thanks for doing the giveaway!!
From the US. I’d love to be in house Montgomery and be able to be invisible and do other illusions. Maybe for good, maybe for bad? Who knows?
House Rogan for easy moving of all of the things!
I would want to be a herbamagos which I guess makes me part of House Sherwood. It would be awesome to work on solving medical problems! USA
House Harrison because I really want to know what my cats are thinking!
House Montgomery – being able to create illusions would have so many uses. From not needing to put on make up to hiding in plain sight.
I’m in the UK
Hi from UK,
Not a house in the series – but as a complementary therapist I would be a healer (House Emmett perhaps) or House Harrison
I would be a sub-variant of a Magister Exemplaria, specializing in the patterns of human language. The ability to learn any language would be extremely useful to me as a member and investigator for House Montgomery in their Minnesota office.
I am not expecting to win even though I can’t WAIT to read the next book. I am entering so that your numbers go up and you get more $$ so you can RELAX!
That said, I’d be in house Baylor because I love them. I’d be an offshoot of House Etterson, in that I wouldn’t detect poison, I would be able to cook and add good magic that heals and makes people feel better. Not strong, but over time, the family and anyone I feed is happier and healthier. I’d open a cookie shop that would do good in the world, but I’d do major healthy magic for the house.
Not saying where I am from so you can DQ me so someone else gets a chance, I have my book (yummy yummy book) on order.
Hi! I would love to be an Elementalist from Ade-Afefe House. I’m from Canada.
I am a sucker for heros, I’m sooo conventional that way — House Baylor! Plus, such a diversity of talents & skills. USA.
I think I would choose to be in House Collins as an Elementalist, with control over both water and air. I doubt there is much I could not do with that power (Bwahahahaha!).
I am in the US. Thank you for the chance to get an early peek 🙂
Animal mage with House Harrison. I’ve always preferred animals to people. I’m in the US. Thank you for all the wonderful stories you create for us.
Magister Examplaria, definitely, because patterns are my soul, and House Rogan because I’m a loner who wants to help the world, requires vast freedom within a particular set of rules, and values loyalty and self-honor above all else. I’m a US reader and pray the rng gods will bless me.
PS – Thanks to all of you, from the Authorlords to the pets to Brandi to the commenters. Every time I visit this blog, my spirits are lifted and I remember there are some people just as cool as animals.
USA – I’d pick House Baylor (since they still remember what ‘normal’ is like), but I’d prefer to be a Oneiromancer with special dreams. 🙂
House Ade-Afefe for me! It would be the U.S. branch 🙂
I would be a forgotten cousin of house Baylor – grandma frieda’s second cousin or something. I would be magister exemplaria because I’m one of those weird people who, as an adult, do old calculus problems for fun.
I want to be a therionologist. I love animals, often more than people. I guess that’s going to put me in house Harrison. I’d like to be in house Baylor though so I can also be detective. Maybe I can marry one of the boys.
House Baylor, metamorph like Arabella. Sometimes you just have to get humongous and smash stuff.
USA. I’m torn between House Harrison and House Rogan. I love all the animals, but I think being able to pick up things with my mind with slightly cooler ? So telekinetic in House Rogan for me!
US. House Collins aquakinetic. Water is essential.
I’d choose House Baylor like a second cousin or something, so genetically it would make sense for me to be a teleporter! That’s the best power out there. Never having to commute again!
I’m UK based
I would be in House Harrison, I absolutely love animals, even Harry the Possum who i see playing dead on my way to work, He suddenly comes to life as soon as I pass him. USA
I would be in US House Pierce, as a Pyrokinetic.
Oh my gosh, I’m glad you asked because I’ve been thinking about this way to too much. I would part of House Sherwood and I would be a Plant Mage. I LOVE growing things and it would be so great to grow things fast, better, healthier – it would be wonderful.
I’m in the USA, I would definitely choose House Rogan, having telekinesis powers would be awesome!
I’d be inmortalium inventioni – a deathless from an elusive House Smith. We’ve been around since the Osyris serum and we remain in hiding due to being hounted for our genes.
I’m based in Poland
I would definitely like to be a part of House Baylor. I like how theres a diverse range of powers instead of just one thing. Catalina’s power sounds very interesting for sure, but it’s not a power I would want for myself. I guess I would have to pick Arabella’s power! No, no, Nevada’s power is the best.
USA
Toss up between House Sherwood and House Harrison….but if I had to pick, I’d go with Harrison. USA!
I would love to be in House Harrison and be an animal mage! I already have a family full of fur babies 🙂
I would love to be an aquakinetic so definitely House Collins for me. I practically lived in the water when I was a kid and would still do so if I didn’t have to work. Being able to play with the water would be awesome.
Personally I would not want to be part of an official house from birth. I would like to be a significant Aquakinetic from Europe(Germany) and come to the US to finish my degree and eventually join House Baylor by marrying Bern 🙂
I am finishing up my Master in Applied Mathematics and even though I would like to have water related magic, I think me and Bern would get along great. 😉
I am from Germany. 😀
House Collins – Aquakinetic but not a Prime
House Rogan! Being telekinetic would be amazing.
I’m Canada based!
House Harrison for me! Cause I love animals, particularly the big cat family. I’m from Singapore.
Hmmm, House Baylor as it’s not confined to one type and I’d be a Magister Examplaria – I love codes/patterns and encryptions! And House Rogan is an ally. Second choice is House Collins as I adore being in the sea – my happy place – or third choice, a therionologist from House Harrison – my dog, cats and fish talk to me all the time 😉 but people I just don’t get! (UK-based)
House Harrison for me! I love their relationship with animals. Plus, then I would be related to the adorable Matilda!
House Harrison! I’d love to be able to talk to animals! I can’t wait to read this book!
UK. House Rio – Herbamagos as I have a green thumb. Definitely not House Sherwood, as I’d hate to be related to Brian Sherwood in any shape or form! :o)
House Sherwood because I have a black thumb and it would be nice to be able to grow plants
House Sherwood! I love gardening which can be a challenge in the Phoenix desert. I could use all the help I can get to grow my organic produce ?
Hi from France !
I’d definitely be an Elemental mage, probably Pyrokinetic with poor impulses and a notorious lack of restraint just to make people second-guess pissing me off. But let’s not kid around, I wouldn’t be a part of House Pierce, or only as a third-degree cousin without Prime status, the kind that crashes at family reunions, light a little fire and then goes back to living a carefree (and financially unstable) life. I’d find myself a cool boyfriend and ride on his motorcycle, and we’d never be cold when sleeping on beaches (thanks to me). Fire !
Thanks a lot for the opportunity <3 You're all working very hard on this.
House Rogan telekinetic so that cleaning my house would be easier ?
House Sherwood – herbamagos upper level significant as I don’t think I’d like the pressure of being a prime!
The garden is my happy place and I work for a community orchard so I could help Edward grow delicious apples!
(Uk based)
USA. House Harrison. Animal mage and Matilda’s auntie.
I want to teleport but since there are no teleportation houses as yet 😉 I’d go with House Harrison. Though I briefly considered House Rogan, I love animals a lot more.
In the U.S.!
I’m from France. And why not House Montgomery ? It would be so fun to do some illusions :p
Thanks a lot for the chance .
Can I be in House Harrison but have teleportation as my power? I’ve always wanted teleportation and love animals.
Oh man. Hmm I think I would choose House Harrison. I’d love to be able to redefine “crazy cat lady”
https://www.worldturtleday.org/ Thursday May 23, world turtle day!!!
I would be linked to house Sherwood, but only a middling pyrokinetic. Somewhat frowned upon by my plant bearing brothers and sisters, but useful when replanting comes along (as long as I can keep it under control)
I would work for House Rogan. I appreciate how Rogan has his own way of caring for his employees and family. I also work well under his type of leadership, lol…
Canada – House Harrison! Who wouldn’t want to have ninja ferrets?! Also ANT Man powers, yay!
Oh man, in a totally fictional world I want Leon’s powers! That would make me an unregistered member of House Baylor. 🙂 – USA
I would be part of House Montgomery, surely a Prime.
P.S. I’m from Romania.
I would be the other love child of the evil grandmother and Duncan… I want to be a truthseeker siren! Step 1: be born, Step 2: take over the world!
House Etterson, magus venenata. That way I’ll never have to worry about food poisoning!
Herbamagos because it sounds like the power least likely to enmesh you in dramatic battles / fighting drama, which is fun to read about but would not (for me) be so fun to participate in on a daily basis. House Rio, because per the last books, it’s still in business and doing well, whereas House Sherwood is now bankrupt.
An animal mage with House Baylor. They have a lesser animal mage. They need another prime designation to really kick ass. And I just love animals. I can’t imagine how amazing it would be to understand them on that deep a level.
House Harrison – because most days I prefer having connections to animals over people. People can be crazy. Lovely, but crazy ; )
Probably an illusion mage, not mongomery’s house though. There is probably another illusion house or three and I’d like to be not related to that particular stuck up butt. Going invisible and messing with appearances of things would be pretty cool.
House Forsberg – I need to be a hopper. There are just not enough minutes in the day. This would give me so much more time to read!
I live on Cape cod which sometimes feels like another country.
It’s an interesting question. I started by thinking of two things: what would help me personally, and what would help me professionally. Certain powers could be fun, but too far on the destructive end of the spectrum, while others leave me magically defenseless.
So, I think I’d like to be a telekinetic in House Rogan. I could use it in my personal life, make money with it, and it could be used offensively and defensively. Pretty cool!
I’m in the USA. ??
Whilst being able to fly on the wind like the Ade-Afefe would be cool I think controlling weather systems would be too much like chess for me. So I will go with go with being a rogue super prime of house Sherwood and grow lots of big trees really fast all over the world, re-forestation super hero style.
In the UK
Unsurprisingly I’d be in House Baylor – I love grandma: I’be related to her and be a Shielder – I’m figuring it would be useful for all the fights they get into!
House Harrison – Ninja Ferrets for the win!! Plus how cool to wander around with big cats trailing in your wake…
Hey!
I’d def choose some obscure Arabic House Harrison branch (I’m half Lebanese) just because I love animals so very much and being able to communicate with them and bond with them as deeply as your animal mages do sounds amazing! (Beirut, Lebanon)
House Baylor seems like the most craic to be honest. If I could choose anything it’d probably a mnemonic though because it would just help *so* much with my degree. Oh, and I’m in Ireland. 🙂
Hi again,
Third time I’m posting this because I never read directions?.
House Forsberg- Hopper because I can travel anywhere and still be home for dinner.
I think I am more likely to be an empath rather than anything else. But I would love to be a telekinetic with House Rogan!
Definitely House Harrison. Just me and the animals. Lol.
I would for sure be a Pyrokinetic (hopefully not psychotic) in the House Collins
Currently no powers in usa
Today I’d say House Rogan because my back hurts. Then I could just pick things up and move them around without pulling something ?.
Herbamagos from house Sherwood 😉 making meds would be my thing
-USA
If you could be a part of any house in The Hidden Legacy universe, which House would you be in and what would your power be?
Baylor, pattern mage – I think this in line with my character of looking for connections, and I’m a fan of the subtler powers which are really about shaping events on a broader scale (like the truthseeker talent too).
My location is US.
Sign me up as a long-lost great-auntie who loves to knit woolies AND as a Significant Enerkinetic for House Baylor. That would be fun 😉
Thanks for a chance and happy book launch!!!!
I would be House Harrison, so that I could be an animal mage first and foremost but have secondary Magister Examplaria abilities because a woman’s got to pay the bills and I could totally see myself being like a detective with her animals as backup.
I’d be an Elementalist with House Montgomery .
Subtle control with black and white rules I can manipulate.
-USA based
Totally House Harrison
I think House Etterson. I think being a Venenata, and able to neutralise poison would be excellent especially if it translated to blood poisons.
Michael UK
So many choices!
But I’m really leaning toward Animal Mage and House Harrison.
USA resident, and I wish I could understand my cat xD
I don’t normally comment but I’ve actually thought about this before (what power I’d want) so I figured I’d go for it. I’d be part of House Baylor because they have so many different powers that don’t seem to correspond with each other like in other houses. My power would be of memory. Either making people forget things or remember something long forgotten.
Baylor. I would love to hear if someone is lying or not.
House Harrison – Love the animals.
Currently in the USA
Based in the U.S. House Baylor or what ever house Bernard’s father is from.
Make me a Magister Examplaria!
House Sherwood. I would grow bright purple hobbit houses with black orchid roofs up in trees. The window boxes would contain strawberry chocolate mousse. 🙂
In the US. I’d be House Marcus as I like the idea of telekinesis.
House Rogan, would have minor telekinesis powers that people underestimate, but I use with such precision for things like picking locks and defusing bombs.
International- from new Zealand
House Baylor, they’re such a tight-knit group but I would want to have animal mace powers.
USA House Montgomery. I would be an illusion prime.
House Rena in Germany. With the awesome power of Sanatio, So I would be a Magistra Medicatorium, , a Master to discover every disease and to heal them. Of course, if someone is unpleasant, it would be interesting, to give them something itchy
I’d be a herbamagos in House Sherwood. Maybe then my plants would stop dying ?♀️
USA based. House Baylor because Nevada is awesome and the family is fun and I would have shielding ability to protect those that I love and innocents.
Other than the obvious House Baylor, since they are a close-knit family with a bunch of awesome powers, I would choose House Harrison, because of all the fluff! Who wouldn’t want to be able to connect to animals? USA ლ(=ↀωↀ=)ლ
Really torn between house Harrison because I’m a big animal lover and house Sherwood because I’m just as much into plants!! So glad your feeling better?
House Rogan definitely. I’ve always wanted to be telekinetic. Second choice would be House Harrison. Hmm maybe I could be a product of both but be in House Rogan as it would be my stronger power.
I’m in New Zealand btw.
In New Zealand, I would love to be in House Baylor, truth seeker with a bit of monster and charismatic siren charm. Would make this divorce a lot easier. ?
House Rogan – I would like to be an Aegis to protect other. When protecting others it’s always good to be aligned with strong people!!
I’ve never commented before but this is too good to pass up! I would have to say House Rogan so that I could have the power of telekinesis (a significant though, not a prime). That way I wouldn’t have to go up or down the stairs to retrieve things all the time ?
(I’m from the U.S.)
I would love to be in House Baylor, a new house and they’re not so big on the overly traditional everything must be a certain way thing. I would like to be a Breaker or Cloaker, I think they would both work well with my personality.
USA
It has to be house Harrison. I’d really like to be an animal mage
Definitely House Sherwood! I’ve always had a thing for plants and my dream is to have a garden later in life.
House Sherwood Herbamagos, sub-specializing in drought and disease resistant crops.
-USA
I’d be part of House Vidente – I could be the mysterious oracle with the obscure references to the future lol
US based
House Harrison
Animal Mage
Hello everybody,
I would love to be a herbamagos from house Sherwood. I would like to have just enough power to be able to create a lovely garden where flowers and vegetables would flourish without pesticides.
I am French but I live in the UK.
House Baylor: “anti-siren” … sort of the opposite of Catalina … people see me and run away (I can clear a room in the proverbial blink of an eye).
USA
(pick me! pick me! lol)
Good old US of A.
I’d love to be a super spy in house Montgomery! It’d be so cool to be able to change my appearance or even turn invisible in the blink of an eye!
House Harrison. I just want to know if my cat really wants to kill me. 🙂
I would be house Harrison- love the animals, but would say probably an Aegis. (US)
I’d love to be an animator, but I don’t know a particular house that corresponds to. My second choice would be to be a telekinetic from house Rogan.
I’d want to be in House Baylor but an animal mage (I know, doesn’t quite fit but it is what I’d *want*!)
I would be House Tremaine ( according to my students- yes I checked with hormonal teenagers). This is not because I am small – far,far from it- but because I am universally feared. My name only has to be mentioned and classes behave. The kids know when I am on duty and there is never an issue. They would rather avoid my wrath than invoke it. The other reason is because I have the truth seeker power. I can stare at a kid, not say a word, until they crack. It is for this reason I would place myself in house Baylor. My investigation skills are legendary and I scroll through hours of CCTV to narrow down evidence.
P.s. Thanks for posting this, I managed to do a who.e English lesson using this and exploring character development in our own writing.
I’d like to be part of House Baylor, with their broad range of powers. Maybe Siren? I’d love to see if you could make people love things other than me, like an idea. I’d love to explore the subtle reach of the power. I’m from Argentina
US here! So fun! Hmmm. There are several I think would be cool- the problem is how they would be used… empathy, hopper, mnemonic, oneiromancer, shielder, magus venenata, etc. The winner would probably be Aegis, though, so I could help, but not be taking people out-more defensive magic. As to house, Baylor is the best-loyal, cool people, good morals. I like that the Harcourts stuck together-except the one rogue. But can you imagine the nightmares growing up with siblings who can summon horrors at will… but House Rogan is so incredibly strong. So Aegis , house Rogan/Baylor.
I think House Baylor, not only do they have diverse and different skill sets, but I love that they have the secondary skills related to self defense, and weapons. Though I do love to garden, and being part of House Sherwood would be a boon for my plants.
I would like to be a Pyrokinetic but not from house Pierce. Second choice would be Animal mage from house Harrison.
House Harrison. My most favourite scene of all is the ferret heist, and how both nominally superior mages called their people to put pressure plates on the dryer vents!
Living in Germany
House Baylor for the win… even though a small part really loves House Harrison’s ability with animals… but I am more of Mech Mage. I’m good with building and fixing mechanical things. I love the family dynamics of the Baylors and how they work together.
I am from Canada
If you could be a part of any house in The Hidden Legacy universe, which House would you be in and what would your power be?
Well, I would like to have Leon’s power and be in house Rogan. The military discipline attracts me.
House Harrison as an animal mage with a secondary talent of magister examplaria, I loved the way the big shots underestimated the ferrets and such. As I am an animal whisperer already I think the added pattern recognition would help with further heists.
Absolutely House Rogan, Telekinetic. So I could protect everyone I love. With my immense power I could help in disaster areas where machines can’t get.
Nadja from Germany.
House Rogan would be my choice because moving things without touching them has always been something I wished I could do!
Nathalie from Scotland
I’d be a member of House Harrison: I’ve always enjoyed reading Fantasy stories that included special human/animal communication capabilities. Presumably, having mage capabilities from this family line would enable me to communicate with my dogs (convenient, since I already talk to or rather, at them anyway!), and the ravens which like to bath and drink from the water in our garden’s disappearing fountain. They seem quite intelligent; it would be great to finally figure out what is going on in those bird brains.
I’m not one to follow, so I would have my own house. House Kage ( Shadow ). The bloodline power would be various things based in darkness such as blending into the shadows and becoming virtually invisible. Also being able to sense and manipulate the dark feelings within someone such as guilt. If done right, guilt could be amplified and drive the target to suicide. A nice clean way to get justice if the criminal is untouchable.
Might be the boring answer, but House Baylor! I like that they are diverse and family oriented. I would probably have powers similar to Grandma Frida. An affinity for machines and technology (but maybe not vehicles in particular).
I’m from Sweden!
I’d like to be in House Ade-Afefe with some kind of control over weather (keep it sunny on a beach day or get some extra rain for the plants :)) or be associated with House Etterson and have Magus Venenata.
I’m located in the US
I have always wanted to be able to teleport so I choose House Rogan as a teleporter.
I would want to be a truth seeker in House Baylor!
… US
If I could be in any House, I would be in house Harrison. I love the ability to communicate with animals. I think my power would be like that of a siren with animals!
Animal powers sound awesome, but I don’t like how distant they are with other people, so probably House Baylor, since they’ve still got the dynamics of a real family.
I’m in US
I am House Sherwood, and a Notabl Herbamago ( plant mage). I am estranged from my house because I am not in the pharmaceutical buissness. I own a growing line of natural herbalcosmetics and tees and my garden is stunning ;0)
Greetings from Munich(Germany)
House Vidente with precognition as my power. Who wouldn’t want to know or sense possible futures. A little known house is even better. Pinging you from the United Kingdom
I’d like to be a cloaker. With House Baylor’s varied talents, I’d hope that it would be possible to be part of their awesome family. If not, it would be extremely interesting to be part of House Montgomery, with all of their power and secrets.
I’d like to be a telekinetic in House Rogan. It’s a house that takes care of their own 110% by ensuring no one can leverage their insecurities. I choose telekinetic since I’ll be able to move peoples cars out of my parking space amongst other things. Seriously Rogan is Bad Ass.
Of course i would be part of House Baylor! And I want to be a truthseeker, I want to cut thru all the BS said by our politicians and be believed. Wouldn’t that be fabulous?
Oooh, I’d be an aquakinetic in House Collins, with a secondary talent in weather magery!
I’m an Australian reader 🙂
I would be in House Ade-Afefe so as to be able to make the area around me cooler or warmer depending on the situation. It’s starting to get hot here in South Texas and I am already dreading the summer temps.
Although I love the family orientation in House Baylor and how they wouldn’t make you marry someone just for magical abilities.
House: Not currently associated with a house
Power: Swarmer
I’m from Canada
USA
House Rogan! Telekinesis and power and influence!!
I want my own house, so that means I gotta be a Prime ,,,, hmmm ,,, I love the water, so an aquakinetic and for balance, add a bit of pyrokinetic to that …
I would be in House Harrison and have animal-related powers such as the ability to form bonds with predators.
I am in Germany.
I would be in house Ade-Afefe with some kind of control over the weather like storm from x-men ?
English reader
House Ade Afefe, with powers like Storm in Xmen movies
Ade from UK
House Baylor because i like their code of ethics although i want to be a telekinetic so i would have to be one of Nevada and Rogan’s children. I live in South Carolina. USA
Hello from Toronto, Canada.
I would like to be in House Ade-Afefe so I can control the weather to make it nice and warm when it’s -80 here in winter!
Oooooo difficult question!
I’d be tempted to pick House Montgomery, & do illusion! Except all the family have the names of legendary Tricksters… E.g Loki, Anansi, Iktomi, etc XD
Otherwise it’s be house Sturm & be a dual wind & lightning mage, because flying & playing with lightning would be awesome!
Ireland.
House Sagredo. I’d be a different version of Antistasi, mimicking others’ powers in order to protect and defend. Any power used against me, I’d reflect back.
[I’m a US reader.]
From New Zealand
House Harrison, because for the most part the house system itself sounds extremely dodgy as a a design for a power system and at least House Harrison aren’t contributing negatively to it (plus also communicating with animals is awesome).
I would very much love to be in House Harrison. Being able to actually talk to my dog would be amazing.
I would want to be a Mnemonic in House Sherwood. Working with plants and research… and being able to remember everything! – Jen in the US
House Harrison. Animals all the way 🙂
Definitely House Sagredo (Antistasi) because I don’t want to use my abilities to attack others, but rather to keep them safe. Defense has always been my favourite 🙂 also, I am from Canada, so all this makes total sense haha.
House Baylor, of course, because I love their sense of ethics and doing what is right. And although I have always dreamed of flying, I would be an Magister Examplaria. Math, puzzles, systems thinking – they are all so fun.
House Baylor! As the newest house they would be the most interesting. I would love to have the power of the Siren. I am a shy person naturally so it would be completely out of my wheelhouse and I find that really interesting. I am in the U.S.
Absolutely House Rogan. Telekinetics would save my back when I move the furniture!
I would like to be from house Latimer.
I’m not sure what their power is, but from the look they give the prime, it’s significant.
I’m from Virginia, USA.
House Etterson Magus Venenata
They need some help.
I’d love to be in House Baylor, probably by marriage because my power would be “Harmonizer”. Because it is such a common power it wouldn’t be sought after by any Houses specifically, unless my biological relatives had more rare abilities they wanted. House Baylor doesn’t seem to care about that. (I live in the USA)
Thanks so much for this awesome ARC giveaway! I just finished the first three books in the series and I loved them – I can’t wait to read Sapphire Flames ❤ I’m from Canada, and I would love to be a part of House Baylor and join in the everyday running of the PI business, probably as a Fulgurkinetic, so I can smite evil doers ? Very glad the rescue turtle has a new name – hi Eugene ?
House Baylor or House Harrison (leaning towards Harrison because I think being able to communicate with animals woul be fascinating!
House Harrison with a cheetah best friend!!!
I would like to be part of either House Harrison because I can’t imagine life without pets, I constantly work with my dog to ensure that he is impeccably behaved so that he can go anywhere with me.
House Ade Afefe! I would love to be a weather mage :). I live in Oklahoma—it would come in handy here!
House Latimer! Any family that can secretly help domestic violence survivors – while giving the persona of not caring about them at all – is awesome in my book.
Since I don’t know what powers House Latimer has, I’m going to go with Cloaker (illusion mage who can make people invisible to the minds of others). Being able to sneak in/out of places without being noticed is perfect for escaping any craziness that breaks out in the Hidden Legacy world!
NJ, USA Reader
I would be in House Rogan with telekinesis. I love how protective Rogan is and how fierce his mama is. I think all the drama in their family was hilarious. I’m located in the U.S.
To be honest I think I would want to be apart of House Pierce. As awful as Adam and his mom are, I think it would be so cool to manipulate fire.
And I’m in the US 🙂
Ohhhh House Latimer I think because I’m nosy and want to know what they’re about. I have no idea what their power is, but it’s so mysterious and sounds dangerous…and hopefully we find out in the new series! And I’m located in the US!
I’m in the USA and I’m thinking House Montgomery…being able to turn yourself into whatever/whoever you want? Sounds awesome to me!
I think House Baylor has the most invasive and powerful gifts. I’d like to be part of house Baylor with telepathy and empathy as my power.
Canada here!
I’d like to be in house Ade-Afefe. We get all sort of weather here and I wouldn’t hate having some influence over when it happens.
I would love to be in house Sherwood as an aquakinetic. Edward seems like someone who would take care of his people. I live in the U.S.!
Baylor? They seem like the only house with consistently semi-reasonable people.
Hi
I’d choose House Sherwood. Plants everywhere.
I’m in Australia
USA
House Sagredo. Would have loved to be able to block mental attacks as a child/teenager. Even today it would be a gift to have. I wonder if it would work against aliens? Or only humans? Just planning ahead here, in case of an invasion.
I would want to be in House Baylor because of the variety of gifts and the acceptance for whatever gift you have even if it isn’t a power.
In Michigan, U.S!
House Baylor definitely. Need some down to earth primes around me. I think I want the truth seeker power. In the US!
House Baylor! I already try to figure out what people’s hidden motivations are (both in my regular life and as part of my job!)
House Harrison, so I could tell my dogs why I have to leave them everyday..OR, so they could come with me!!
Speaking of powers, I would love to be a “hopper” with the ability to teleport. That would put me in House Forsberg.
If I could take my powers to a different house, it would be House Baylor because they are a close-knit, loving family.
I live in Utah, in the US.
House Harrison! Animals are my jam. How cool to be able to communicate better.
I would want to be part of House Montgomery. I think Illusion is the most practical of the magical talents.
House Baylor seems to have the best variety. I’d love to be telekinetic. The ability to assist in disasters would be awesome.
I am in Canada
House Baylor with the one shot one kill ability with a touch of truthsayer to protect the ones I love.
USA
U.S.A- I would like to be in house Sherwood (under Edward!) I am an RN, and a gardener- That house seems to be the closest to “healers” and I would love to be able to help others with the gift of food?
House Sherwood, plant mages for me. I love plants and gardening calms me down but I’m just no good at it. (Taiwan)
I would be in House Ade-Afefe because I would love to manipulate weather or be an aqua kinetic. I’m in the US.
I am in the USA ..I would definitely love to be a part of House Sherwood…in touch with nature and plants…healing needed more than ever in today’s cultural, political (and, yes, meteorological) climates!
House Harrison, because I’d love to know what our dog is thinking…and there’s also a chance Sergeant Teddy and I would enjoy hanging out.
Thanks for the chance, I’m in the US.
This is a hard question. I’m split between 2 houses:
House Harrison cause they are Animal Mages and I love Animals;
And House Baylor with the power of a Prime Truth seeker and a little bit of the one shot one kill power that Leon has.
I gave it some thought and I think I will have to go with House Baylor ?
And I’m in the US! ?
From New Zealand – House Harrison. So want to have a panther guard.
I would be in House Baylor, but I want to be a mech mage like Grandma Frida. That way my cars would always run and go very, very fast.
I like fast.
I would want to be a part of House Sherwood. I’ve always been fascinated by the human body and being able to work with plants to further medicine would be amazing. I’m in the US!
I would be in house Harcourt, summoning things would be interest dance puppets dance, I’m in Canada
USA. House Baylor. Loving family and community are the most important power.
House Harrison! So I could talk with all the murder kitties.
I’m in Canada.
I would love to be part of House Harrison, I would love to be able to communicate with animals!!!!
Im in the US
I’d be in House Montgomery, but I’d probably be excised because I wouldn’t want to follow to expectations of being part of such a high-status house. On the bright side, I’m sure I can blend into the normal world very well as an illusion mage.
House Harrison! For the aminals 😉
House Harrison.
House Sherwood. I think the ability to communicate with plants would be amazing. Since I live in Nova Scotia Canada, it would be great to have fresh vegs and fruits all year.
Hola…!!! Creo que soy la primera latina que comenta…!!! Soy Tegucigalpa, Honduras…..!!!!
A mi me gustaría ser de la Casa Sagredo una Antistasi…..los trucos mentales no van conmigo….no me dejo manipular y convencer así que es la casa ideal para mi
Abrazos….!!
I would want to be part of House Baylor and my power would be to control microscopic bacteria. It’s not flashy but it could be effective. House Baylor has a mix of talents and I would love to add mine.
Hello from Vancouver, Canada!
I would be part of House Montgomery and enjoy using my illusion powers to blend in and go about my business with no interruptions.
House Harrison- talking to animals and I would like to have something like Nevada’s secondary threat based aim (USA entry!)
Thanks for the contest!
I’m not sure if the record keepers have their own house but I would love to be one of them with abilities like Michael.
Australia is my home 🙂
I would love to be house Baylor just like so many others. I LOVE the family dynamics! They are fun and strong as a family. I think I would want to be a Beast of Cologne just like Arabella. I would brush my fluffy coat of fur and polish those shiny horns and scare the crap out of a few people 🙂
– US resident
My family already calls me an Ent, so I would be herbamagos. Give me a plant of some kind, and I am happy.
House Baylor cause I love their quirkiness. I would bring the power of Hopper to their house cause I love travel, lol.
I would love to have the power of a hopper. I love to travel and being able to teleport anywhere would be amazing. House Baylor has a variety of powers to fit right in. I’m in USA.
House Baylor, Siren, US. Thank you for offering this contest!
House Sagredo. Protection against mental attacks and some very pleasant company to boot. I am in US
So hard to choose! Would have to go with House Harrison. It would be awesome to be able to talk to my horse!
US resident
I would like to be part of house Sherwood or any Herbamagos house so I could finally get my garden to grow!!
Ana
USA resident
I would be in House Harrison as I’m applying to vet school right now.
U.S Resident Texas YeeHaw
House Baylor-
I would have the power to influence people to tell the truth.
I would be in House Rogan as a telekinetic! I just broke my foot and I’m dreaming of a way to get snacks without getting up.
I’m in the USA!
I think I would be in House Montgomery with illusion magic! I often find myself wearing “different hats” so to speak for work, school organizations, family, etc. I think it would also be super fun to change your look with a single thought. I recently went blonde (have naturally brown-black hair) and it took so much time (and money!)…anddd I ultimately changed it back a month later lol. ??♀️Would have been nice to just use some illusion work to spice up my hair for a day!??♀️
I’m in the US!
This one was actually very tough for me! I would go with House Molpe though, the sirens, I really like the idea behind the siren house. I like the power and after reading more and seeing Catalina learn more about her powers I just honestly like how her power is used and how shes developing it. I am from Canada! Also if I couldnt be Molpe Id like to be apart of Runa, the poison detector’s house! That is another power that just blows my mind lol.
House Baylor because they have integrity & heart. I would be a Metamorphose. I live in the USA.
House Sturm, a Elementalist with power over air and water. Though I guess I would have some frantic backtracking to do after Alexander’s little stunt… still I have always felt close to both elements. I am based in the USA
House Harrison because I’m enjoying training my horses, donkeys, dog, and cats with positive reinforcement. It’s wonderful to see them respond with happy interest instead of fear. It would be a pleasure to deepen those relationships into even better loving partnerships.
Being an Animal Mage would be interesting. Especially to be able to control wild animals like tigers or wolves.
Animal Mage house Harrison. I live in San Diego CA USA.
House Harrison because it reminds me of Daine from Tamora Pierce’s Immortals series.
House Harrison Animal Mage definitely! U.S. reader.
Would love to be a pyrokinetic from House Pierce (or another pyrokinetic house). I’d be the rouge artistic child who wanted to be a glassblower and could mold glass with her bare hands. So much fun!
Absolutely would love to read to gem in London, UK
Happy Friday from South Africa. I’d definitely want to be in House Rogan…so i can telekinetically get myself a cup of tea without getting out of bed in winter.
House Rohan. I would like the ability to steal other people’s powers, permanently or temporarily. The choice would be mine.
House Howling
I would investigate pulling energy/electricity from the magical plane to put our house as the powerbroker of the new world.
House Sturm, a Elementalist with power over storm.
From Lithuania
As much as I’d love The Hidden Legacy world, I think living in it would be terrifying. I would not like to be in any house due to house warfare. I would also like to be an Aegis so I could protect myself and my family when wars erupt. Like when you’re walking through a parking lot. If I had to be in a house, Leon’s power would probably be my choice. I’d prefer not to be involved, but if I have to be that seems to be the most useful power that doesn’t immediately put a target on your back and lets you deal with the problem from a nice safe distance.
House Baylor or Rogan. I would take pretty much take any ability…Jeff City MO
House Etterson – I’d like to be a magic chemist.
House Sagredo- Antistasi
Being mostly a defensive ability appeals to me the most ?. I also think Catalina needs a friend not in the family and that would be the most useful power for that purpose. Plus I get the potential to play matchmaker ? who wouldn’t have fun with that?! If that wouldn’t be possible I’d like to join a house that had a healing ability.
Wishing the Authorlords and their loyal companions the best,
Shalene (member of the BDH)

Fort Hood, TX
House Molpe and siren power all the way, and I’d love to have a secondary designation as fulgurkinetic to throw some weather madness in there. US reader!
Greetings from Canada!
House Sherwood – I will forever never go hungry. Plus, make money off of my awesome research discoveries~
There are sooo many cool options, I can’t pick. So I’ll just base my choices on what’s closest to my actual life.
I’m going with House Baylor. Because family is really important. And I figure I would be a Magister Examplaria, patterns seem to be one of my things.
If I had a secondary ability, probably Empath.
House Harrison! I’d love to talk to animals!
OMGosh I would totally choose House Rogan and I think I’d like to give telekinesis a go!! LOL. Ok… in all honesty I’d like to do all kinds of cool things in the different houses in this world, but I’ll go with this choice for now! LOL Thanks so much for the chance!!
From the US ?
I like the idea of being telekinetic, so would like to be in House Rogan. I also like working with animals, so House Harrison would be my second choice. I’m in Denton, Texas.
I would love to be in House Harrison, an animal mage. Being able to communicate with animals would be amazing! US
House Rogan – handling heavy stuff, no problem!
I would love to be a part of House Rohan because no matter what my abilities are, I would still have a job at Castra, hopefully.
And I’m from India. ?
Prob either House Sherwood or Forsberg. I like the idea of using my science background along with magic to work on breakthroughs. But I also love solving mysteries too. In the US here and can’t wait for the new book!
I would choose House Montgomery so I could always wear comfy clothes but look like I was stylin.
I think I’d probably be an illusionist with a side of egocissor in House Montgomery. Augustine seems like a fun sibling/cousin and the power would be cool 😀 UK based.
I’m from Canada, and I would be from House Sherwood. In real life I’m an unskilled but passionate grower of house plants, and I work in lab medicine. In my DnD group I’m a (slightly mad) artificer who is obsessed with plants and fungi for potion production. I recently convinced a sentient giant fungus to give me it’s spores to grow in my lab.
House Harrison. As a Corgi Mom…sometimes I would love to know what is actually going through those fuzzy brains of theirs…
Team Bernard! Magister Exemplaria
House Harrison – love animals and often relate better to non-humans.
House Harrison – I would like to be an animal mage so I would have a chance of getting my husky to come when I call versus when he feels like it. And maybe, just maybe, I could convince him to stop excavating the backyard.
House Harrison – I would like to be an animal mage so I would have a chance of getting my husky to come when I call versus when he feels like it. And maybe, just maybe, I could convince him to stop excavating the backyard.
Team House Baylor! Doing good, doing well, and bringing good to others. (Canada)Marta
I like pattern recognition and problem solving, so probably one of the investigatory houses, Montgomery or Shaffer, with a language based Magister Examplaria.
(in the US)
House Harrison, because I love animals! I want a Zeus of my own.
USA
Team Bernard, Magister Exemplaria, pattern solving would be a good career option, not cut out for the military type powers, and an animal mage would be cool, but I want to form relationships with people too.
I would love to be part of House ade-afefe, controlling the weather is awesome 😀
And so helpful at high scale ! No rain for 5 months, hey, let me help you, I’ll make the weather rain thanks to my dance 😀
And even for personal gain :
oh, it will be raining this weekend, we can’t go hiking…
Yes we can !
I’m from France 🙂
House Baylor – Prime Telepath because I love this family & want to be a part of it! From the U.S.
I think I’d definitely want to be a part of a house of weather mages. House Ade-Afefe or any other! It would be really fascinating to be able to control the weather…
And some lightning! Muahahaha
Cheers from Australia
House Harrison, animal mage. I might actually get some respect from my cats. Texas, US.
House Baylor because I like the idea of having a wide range of cool abilities that others don’t know about. Walk softly but carry a big stick…
House Sturm! I’ve always been fascinated by weather and storms.
(posting from Sacramento, California)
House Harrison most definitely. They are not a very powerful household though they can be but choose not to I think, so they don’t get into house wars too often. And I just love the thought of an animal mage I would love to have a partnership with an animal and get to help them.
And I am in Indonesia. Your name on a book is always a must buy for me.
I’m from the US, and I would love to be a part of House Madero for the John Cena memes— big, buff, and a little dumb. I’m also accident prone so it would be nice to have body armor!
I’m in the US. I would totally love to be in House Rogan, As a fellow knitter can you imagine how many projects would get done with telekenetic power!
I’d love to be House Rogan ! I’ve always wanted telekinetic powers (probably the lazy girl in me! ). I’d probably use it for lame things like folding laundry and washing the dishes. I’m hoping I could levitate too, that would be awesome.
I’m in the US and I would be a weather mage from House Ade-afefe. I can make it rain at night, have sun all day to make my garden grow, and farms would want to have my services.
I’m in the US and I would love to be in House Harrison. I love animals and being able to know what they are thinking would be amazing!
House Baylor because they have strong family values. As a mother of five I think that is incredibly important. I’d be a truth seeker, with teenaged that would come in handy! US
International Belguim
I would be part of house Harrison. I’ve always had a better bond with animals than with people. And I’ve already got my own “Talon” only he is called “Pippin” and he is a Harris Hawk… see, Harris(on) it’s meant to be…
I’m from Sweden and would like to be part of House Ade-Afefe as a weather mage- being able to control the weather with dancing would be amazing!
International France
Hi all,
House Baylor because of their strong values, solidarity and we may discover through the serie new hidden gifts within this line. It will give us a lots of new volumes to read and a very long saga. I would love that.
Have a nice day and nice week-end by advance.
Kind regards.
Souad.
I’d love to be a member of House Baylor and when it comes to my powers…mhh that’s a bit more difficult. I think I’d either be a truth seeker aswell or an empath.
Oh and I am from Germany
International Romania
I would love to be able to fly, so a telekinetic from House Rogan!
U.S.
I’d be House Harrison. Maybe then I could housebreak my dachshunds.
I’m from Israel! And I think I would either be a Herbamagos from house Sherwood, or maybe an aquakinetic (can’t remember a specific house mentioned in the books…)
Like Jennifer, I’d be from House Harrison…would help immensely in understanding my dog and her wilfulness! I’m from New Zealand.
I’m in the US.
I would love to be in house Etterson, because who wouldn’t want to be able to remove poisons at will and save people, Or you know be a super petty person and just MILDLY poison people you dont like……
I’m from Israel.
I would like to be part of House Baylor because of their amazing family ties, also being an empath sounds really fun and useful.
House Montgomery. I am very visual and it would be fun to see myself as a different person in a mirror . US
Hi, I’m international from Portugal. I’d like to be in House Etterson, Runa seems like my kind of girl, and as a chemistry student, their whole power just seems so cool and would definitely make my life easier 😀
Country – Australia
I’d like to be part of House Lattimer as I think anyone who heads a House and steps in to help a woman potentially in trouble, without hesitation, is someone that I can respect.
I don’t recall what skill set applies to House Lattimer, but I’d like to be a Harmonizer – I like to organise. Whilst the talent is listed as mainly being the domain of interior decorators, I think the joy of a creating a filing system (colour coded of course) would be part of this talent.
International Netherlands
I would love to be house Pierce changing my outside and see how people react
I would want to be in House Baylor because they have a great family dynamic and they’re still establishing themselves which would be very interesting and very challenging. For powers I’d pick herbamagos (which doesn’t really fit in house Baylor but part of their appeal is they’re such an eclectic group anyway!)
I’m from the UK. Thanks !
International Poland.
House Pierce ftw
Would love to be a part of House Montgomery. Changing appearances to resemble some demonic creature that inspires panic. That would be mind blowing. From Canada. Much love and success to you guys and the upcoming books. Would love to read this one. Thank you.
I’m in the US, and as much as I love the members of House Baylor, it’s gotta be House Rogan and telekinesis.
I based my answer off my career choice (I’m a School Psychologist) and personality. The one that seems to best fit would be House Sagredo as I would likely be an Antistasi or Empath.
US
US
It has to be House Harrison, animals are better than people and I already work with animals all day. What are they thinking?? I feel like I spend my life asking that question…
Hey i’m from Poland and i would love to communicate with animals it would be awesome to understand what they think, so House Harrison is my choice.
U.S.
I’d love to be Pyrokinetic, mmm fire 🙂 but I’d hate to be in House pierce. I’d rather be some distance cousin that House Baylor adopts, then I could protect & use my fire setting for good.
U.S.
Either House Harrison or whatever house has pattern mages like Bern since I’m very good at decoding, making intuitive leaps, and seeing patterns.
I would be House Baylor because of the random genetic jackpot and life would never be boring. If I could choose I would be a weather mage because I would love to try flying in a storm one day.
United States
House: Tremaine
Power: truthseeker so that my kids can never lie to me lol
I’m from the US. I would like to be part of House Ade-Afefe as a weather mage. Dancing to control the weather is pretty sweet!
From USA I chose Hose Rogan telekinesis because I think he is super cool the way he can crush stuff and be feared. Rogue Rogan. I can dig being feared like that lol.
I am from the US. House Baylor because they are a little quirky and I think I could fit into that family. My powers would be to transform into a giant Beast! Maybe could get some movie contracts. Hehe
Hose Rogan! Telekinesis would be such an awesome power to have – I’m short and never having to ask my husband to reach the top shelf of things or getting out a step stool anymore. Plus no one would mess with anyone from house Rogan!
Country – USA
Australia
House Forsberg – would love to be able to ‘hop’ to work and home every day. No traffic issues ever.
I’d like to be in House Baylor, because they’re just awesome. I’d like to be able to fly – maybe shift into a bird or something? I’m from the US
House Harrison for me. I tend to be more comfortable with animals. 🙂
I would want to be in House Harrison and have my own panther guard, and also have my own cuddly rhino. I’m from the US.
I’m from Canada, and I would want to be a plant mage, which I guess would put me in House Sherwood! I grew up on a farm, but my own green thumb could use a little magical help, haha!
Hello, I’m from Germany and I would love to be part of House Harrison. I love animals and would love to know what our two cats and three chickens think all day long. I also would love to have a night out with the cats and to see the world from theire perspective. And to go flying around as a bird like in my childhood-dreams….
I’m from Toronto, Canada.
I’d be House Baylor – I want to be a truthseeker.
Good luck everyone!!
Trinidad and Tobago here. Would love to be a truthseeker in House Baylor!
I’m from the US and it’s House Rogan all the way!
US. House Sherwood. I’d like to be able to grow fruit trees and vegetables. I currently have a black thumb!
I’m from India.
I want to be a Hopper. So it’s House Forsberg. Love to hop near fridge to grab munchies. Love to hop and skip the queues.
I would like to be in House Harrison. Having the ability to connect with animals would be awesome. I would also help explain some of the strange behavior some of my dogs have had.
House Rogan! USA
I’d love to be a truth seeker from House Baylor — I grew up with 2 sisters and one brother and their interactions remind me of home. (Except I married a computer engineer instead of a Rogan 😉
I’m in the US and I’d be part of House Harrison. My talent would be animal healing. Thanks!
Kristi
I’m from Denmark.
I would be from House Ade-Afefe, and be able to take the sunshine with me wherever I go, and make it rain on all of my enemies. Also, dancing seems like an awesome way to make your powers manifest!
I’m from Poland.
I’d love to be a pattern mage. I’m fascinated by math – logic appeals to me most. I think things like breaking the codes would be awesome (I always loved history about breaking Enigma code by polish mathematicians in WW2).
As a youth I would have been House Charles as an Empath and stuck/sucked into the emotional baggage of others; but as I have grown into my own skin I’d like to think I’m more of an antistasi, thus House Saggredo, as I have learned to brush off others BS. Don’t know if I would be a Prime, but a Significant for certain.
Thank you for doing this! Select me random number generator!
Magister Examplaria, as it’d help in my scientific pursuits. But I’d like some minor gifts from empaths and harmonizers in my ancestry, feels like it would help to understand kids (especially teenagers…. ). I am in Canada.
I’m from the United States. I’d obviously want to in House Baylor, or I’d happily work for Lenora Jordan instead of being in a House. I’d want to be a Fulgurkinetic
Hi
I would love to be a Magus Venenata! I think its awesome to just eat poison and I would be a secret of House Harrison, like Leon is of House Baylor 😀
Oh and I’m from Germany
Yay! This is awesome, thank you so much for including international readers! I’d be an Empath who belongs to House Baylor, obviously. Nevada and Catalina both have mind-related powers, so I think it fits. ? I live in Germany. Man, I hope so much I’ll win. ?
I’m from the US.
I’d love to be a Aerokinetic & have the ability to fly without my plane (I’m a pilot in my day job). Maybe a touch of regular telekinesis or hopper abilities to overcome my absolute forgetfulness. For the house, probably Rogan- I’ve been military long enough, time to go private.
House Etterson.
As a biologist I quite like the idea of creating compounds and negating them.. imagine immunity to poison without needing to take the antidote or build a resisstance. Otherwise Id pick house Shaeffer.
Hmm, I would say probably House Harrison, due to my newfound love of animals. I absolutely adore Matilda’s interactions with her pets in the books, especially when she had to clean her cat’s eyes, because I have to do that often too!
Would love to be part of House Baylor. I don’t really care what my power would be, just want to be part of that cooky yet awesome family…
I’m in Canada
Hmm, I would say probably House Harrison, due to my newfound love of animals. I absolutely adore Matilda’s interactions with her pets in the books, especially when she had to clean her cat’s eyes, because I have to do that often too!
(Re-posting this comment because I forgot to mention that I’m from Germany! Please delete my previous one!)
I think I would like to an antistasi, so that others couldn’t affect me with their magic, so that puts me in House Saggredo.
I work with mentaly ill….deffo not sure if this would be a good idea, but sometimes, just sometimes I wish i could read minds. So a telepath for me in House Sherwood…all that medical research is gotta lead to smth.
Regards from Slovenia. 🙂
House Harrison!
Animals are such agreeable friends — they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.
I’m from Argentina.
Thank you for this chance in name of international readers
I would be an Animal Mage, of House Harrison, mainly because I love animals and I would love to communicate with them. Since this is my fantasy I would be Prime and I’d prowl arround with my cohort of wild friends 🙂
In an earlier post I said I wanted to be in house Rogan. I would also like to add house Ade-Afefe as well..So not only could I shake things up but I could make it rain and rain.. oh the deliciousness..
I’m in Scotland!
I would love to be part of house Harrison to find out exactly what my cats are thinking lol!
The turtle is cute, and looks like he’s got a sweet new home, there! I (unfortunately) completely believe the keychain story, and am happy to see your ark, I mean turtle refuge is safe and sound. I do wonder, how are the cats taking the reptilian invasion? Because obviously, when there’s a new pet, it should all be about THEM.
Let’s see, if I could be any mage type….i want to say Pattern mage, but no, I guess I would actually prefer to be Herbomagos or Machine mage like Granma Frida, cuz I would like to create/tinker with either plants or machines. The plants would probably be cooler, but having your own Romeo would also be quite the draw! I live here in the US. Go random # generator!!! 😉
I would want to be House Baylor, I like weird and unusual. I think I would want to have a telekinetic power that could also analyze and see the best way to organize and store things as neatly as possible.
I’m from Boston Massachusetts USA
I would want to be part of House Baylor. They are a true family, and the talents don’t seem to be limited to only one type. Though I wouldn’t MIND being a truth-seeker. It would be nice to know when people are lying to me.
Oh please random number generator pick me. I am a devoted fan and greedy gopher guts for these books.
I would be in House Tremaine, because someone should keep Victoria company – but also because I value truth, family, and loyalty. Also, she’s kind of badass, I won’t lie.
From Canada 🙂
If I could be from any house, I think House Rogan would suit me best—I’d like to be a Prime telekinetic, because I’d really like the power to make people just ‘splat’ when necessary.
From Singapore!
I would like to be from House Harrisons and be able to communicate with animals and finally understand what my dog is thinking! 🙂
I think it would be House Collins. Aquakinetics are like the best thing ever. You could surf, dive, and best of all fly boarding all under ypur own power. How cool would that be, especially with a MSc in Fluid Dynamics.
I’m from the Netherlands by the way. 🙂
I would love to have aerokinetic abilities. Control over air/winds and the ability to fly sounds pretty cool. I think I would go for house rogan.
Thanks from Scotland!
I love everyone in House Baylor, but I’d probably choose to be an animal mage in House Harrison. Hidden Legacy is such a great series, can’t wait to read Sapphire Flames! I’m in the US.
Norway
House Harrison-Animal Mage would suit me the most. Always loved animals, kept and bred rats, Norwegian north/lyngen horses and i am a Corgi owner. I also work in a petshop that is family owned.
I’s likely be an animal mage as a part of House Harrison. I love animals and being able to speak to them would be so cool!
I would say probably house Harrison as I like the bond between the animals and humans but I would like to be a Dark Horse like Leon. I wouldn’t want to be powerful and in the limelight like Nevada and Rogan but I’d happily protect my family and house from the shadows.
This is a hard decision. I think House Baylor as Magister Examplaria I’m already a scientist and I love figuring out things, but I love animals so therionologist is also very tempting .
From Houston which is thankfully not under attack from buildings being thrown around, fire, or any super storms at the moment.
Hello everyone! I’m from Denham Springs, LA in the USA and I would love to be an animal mage in House Harrison.
House Sagredo, antistasi power to defend against other mental powers.
I’m from the United Kingdom,
I would go house Rogan and telekinetic (I’d never have to get up for a book or cup of tea again!).
I’d be a Telekinetic from house Rogan
I would definitely be in House Sherwood, I figure I manage to kill plants, so what’s more likely than to “kill with plants”. Also, the medical company facet, BioCore, sounds interesting to me.
I hail from the US.
House Baylor all the way! I would love to see some of the action first hand BUT there’s too much violence going on in House Rogan.
Definitely a truthseeker..as devastating as it would be to know when someone’s lying to you, better to know the truth!
Please excuse the picture Brandi. I thought I was adding an avatar
I’d be a planmage in House Sherwood and grow awesome gardens.
Everflowering plants or extra long season fruits…
I’m from Germany and am a faithful fan of the series. 🙂
I would want to be in House Ade-Afefe. Being able to control the weather would be awesome.
United States here! It may be cliche (especially as the authors have done such an excellent job portraying House Baylor), but I would choose House Baylor. Growing up in the house power structure would warp any childhood and their subsequent perspective on adulthood, and House Baylor is extremely grounded because they grew up outside of that structure.
I would choose the truth seeker power, because knowledge is power and knowing the truth is probably one of the most effective (albeit sometimes painful) tool.
I’m from the US. House Sherwood because I love plants and flowers and growing things.
Perhaps it’s cheating a bit, but I’d like whatever magic Linus Duncan appears to have; something subtle but powerful, that causes people to like and trust him. (And yes, we all know what else might be the case with Mr. Duncan!).
I’m from the US.
I would want to be in House Baylor. I’d love to be a Truthseeker and be able to always tell if the people around me were lying. I also love how close their family is and the fact the they all have their own little oddities and nobody else may understand but they do and they always have each others backs. I’m from the US.
I would love for there to be a healer house / power. Maybe House Nightingale? My other interest would be House Vidente (Precog)? I have a burning need to know what Latimer, and Duncan’s powers are! Hope it gets revealed in the upcoming books!
If I’m being honest, I would be in house Harrison as an animal mage. I work with draft horses, volunteer with wildlife rehabilitators, study wildlife biology in college, and keep all kinds of animals as companions (dogs, cats, birds, snakes, rats, etc.). I also volunteer at barns near my school and where I grew up when I’m in my hometown just to be around and work with more farm animals I love. It feels a bit boring to me to give this answer because I don’t find it to be a particularly cool power. I don’t feel the need for magic to understand the animals I work and live with or to build trusting relationships with them. Disregarding my personality and life goals, I think I’d rather be an aquakinetic. I’m from the United States.
House Baylor. I appreciate their loyalty to family and clients. Bernard’s power of Magister Examplaria would be awesome. I’m an engineer and being gifted with seeing patterns in everything would be great. I’m from the US.
I have family currently serving in the military. Thank you for your service.
I’d like to be House Harrison. I’d love to know where my cats hide all the hair ties that they steal.
House Rogan. Because I have always wanted the ability to fling stuff around with my mind and I am very lazy.
I’m from the US
I’m from the United States
I would definitely be a summoner in House Harcourt. I have a fascination with the unknown; our oceans, our forests, we’re always discovering new species of everything and that’s not to even mention space. So it would be fascinating to be in a House surrounded by the unknown, with the ability to reach into an unknown and pull something out. Although really being able to summon anything from anywhere would be cool.
I am from Switzerland. I would love to mind healing abilities
I’m from Indiana, USA
I would love to be in House Harrison. I had a stroke and am trying to train my Great Dane as a stability dog. I also do Equine Therapy, and it would be so cool to ask the horse to kneel so I could mount and dismount by myself! I love all animals, and I think it would be awesome to be able to bond and communicate with all types of beasties… especially ones from other realms. I want my own Zeus!! A Zeus stability cat-thing… now that would be extraordinary!!
I would definitely want to be in House Tremaine. Truthseeker talent would be kick butt determining really bad guy guilt from every day douchebag guilt. How great would it be to be able to find out what happened to a loved one and give their family closure? I’m in the US.
I think I would be a Magister Examplaria, hopefully in House Baylor (House and real family), but I would most want to be a teleporter. Thanks for doing this giveaway!!
I would want to belong to House Harrison because I love animals.. not sure which power I would like though.. just communicating with them and having them be my spies would be awesome though 🙂
I’d be a biologically linked mage–one who cooperates with nature to make things happen better or faster than it usually would. As a teacher, I have really connected to the idea of the “cooperative arts” that the ancient Greeks designated–medicine, agriculture, and teaching, because what we do doesn’t create a process from nothing, it enhances and works with a process created by nature. People will learn, we’re made to learn and grow. What I do as a teacher is assist and direct in the process–hopefully making it more to the point and faster. Maybe a “skill-building magos”? (from the US, by the way)
I would be in House Montgomery, and be an Illusionist. I would use my talents mainly in the entertainment industry, working with my skills and with more mundane elements to create incredible special effects. 🙂 I’m in the US!
The House that can detect and use poisons. I believe it is Renata
My name is Maggie and I’m from Dallas, TX. I choose House Harrison. Being a Therionologist would be dream come true. I could understand and befriend animals. It would be helpful in home defense too. There would be no need to pay alarm companies!
I’ll take House Baylor. Being able to turn into a giant, dragon-like monster (assuming I stay sane) has its perks (normally, teleportation would be more fun, but I don’t know about everything that can go wrong if the material isn’t organic enough). I’m in the US.
I think I would fit in House Montgomery quite well. I would like to be an illusion mage and it would be exciting to work in an investigation firm.
Greetings from Hungary 🙂
A Magister Exemplaria in House Baylor…newest house and and a prèty cool power. What’s not to like
From New Zealand
I would want to be part of House Harrison, because the family are actually really cool people. That way I could be an animal mage, because I already like my cats and dogs more than I like most people, lol. I’m in the US.
House Harrison-I want to talk to my pets. ?
I am a huge fan n thanks for this beautiful opportunity.
I would like to belong to House Sherwood. Then it would be possible for me to grow lots of plants n trees and help farmers when they lose their crops.
I am from India n thousands of farmers depend upon monsoon rains for their crop production. N to be honest, greenery rocks!
I’d love to be a zoefactor. It fits with my engineer tendencies. I can think of a ton of useful applications of constructs that can be animated at a later time – enough to build a massive corporation to ensure the stability of my House. We weren’t introduced to the the maker of the animal constructs in the stories but I imagine he is the black sheep of the family (since he was supporting the wrong side!).
I’m in the U.S.
I totally want to be a truthseeker and related to Nevada. haha. United States.
Slight problem as I haven’t read any of this series as yet, but I would like to be in a House with a tower, a red tiled roof and a fountain in an inner courtyard. Preferably with a sky-light over the bath and a cat peering through. My super power would be to to return litter to the bed of the litterer.
It is entirely possible that I am now so embarrassed that I will have to buy the series….
I’m from Long Beach, NY, USA
I would be in House Baylor & would like to have Leon’s gift. To be able to shoot around corners would be awesome.
Hello I’m from Canada!
I would love to be in House Rogan. I think being a powerful telekinetic would be pretty wicked magic to have.
I would want to be in House Baylor with dual talents of Truthseeker and Teleporter. I am in the UK
Hi there over the pond. Im from the UK.
I really should choose House Harrison being a Vet it would really help to talk to my patients ???? ? to help them .
But in fact it would be cool to be from House Collins (Aquakinetic) and I would register as a prime…. however really I would be a dark horse for the family and be an Elementalist using my powers for good and to save people and animals alike ☔⚡?
I’m from the US, and I would love to be part of House Molpe! Catalina’s powers have been developed and fleshed out more in Diamond Fire, and I think that with more training being a Siren could be very useful – especially when you’re in a dangerous situation like being held hostage.
I’d definitely want to be a pattern mage (like Bern)- so I guess that would be a Baylor sub-house?
I’m in the U.S.
Hi! I’m from the U.S.
What house would I like to be a part of? House Baylor, because they care about each other in supportive and less dysfunctional ways, and I’d love to be a mech mage.
What would I more likely end up as? A swarmer, no house, just the military. I’m a data analyst with ADHD, I’m about the closest you can get to a swarmer in RL. I could only hope to have a fate more similar to Bug’s than the usual ones that await them in the Hidden Legacy universe.
From the US. Definitely house Baylor, but I have to keep my power secret in case the wrong person reads this…..
I’d be an animal magus in House Harrison. I relate to people who bond more easily with animals than people. Harrison seems to draw less negative attention (perhaps because they’re not as rich?), which also appeals. Aside from megalomaniacs like Olivia Charles and her cronies who simply take whomever they want.
I live in the USA
I’m from Ontario, Canada.
Definitely love to be in House Rogan or House Tremaine, with the abilities of either truth-seeking or telekinesis. Either way, having one of the two abilities in House Rogan or Tremaine would be wicked.
Hi.
I’m from Canada.
I would love to be in House Baylor with the ability of the siren. Catalina is such an inspiration to the power she possesses, and the ability is just so awesome.
Hello! I am from the U.S and I believe I would be best suited as an Antistasi and thus belong to House Sagredo. I’m an extroverted person who likes helping others. Throughout these the Hidden Legacy series, we have been given several examples of people who rely too much on their powers, which can cause chaos. By being able to nullify these powers, I could equalize the playing field and help anyone, regardless if they have powers or not.
I would definitely love to be in House Harrison with the power to communicate and interact with animals.
I live in Canada
If I had to choose a House, it would obviously be House Sagredo, with the power of antistasi.
US here!
Would definitely love to be House Rogan. I’ve always wanted telekinesis, especially when I’m sore af from the gym and don’t want to get up to get something!
United States.
So, if I was in a house I would probably realistically be put into House Harrison. Not only is my initial degree in wildlife biology. I have tons of animals and would love to be able to use my ability to help children interact with animals so that as a whole we could create a generation that cares more about the environment.
Side note… #swatcats.
I would love to be in House Tremaine with the power of truthseeking. The ability would be so awesome and wicked
Hello there.
HOUSE BAYLOR! DEFINITELY HOUSE BAYLOR!
I would love to be surrounded by people just like the Baylor family, and the power to truth seek
House Baylor for sure! I’d like to be a Siren!
CANADA HERE!
House Rogan would be my house if I had to choose.
My power would be telekinesis, because well, I don’t even think I have to explain
Canada.
House Baylor DEFINITELY, with the power of siren of course
I would like to be in House Rogan. I think being a telekinetic would be extremely useful around the house.
I’m from the US
US here. I would love to be in House Rogan with telekinesis but by marriage. ? Move on over Nevada!
I’m a volunteer manager so my job is to get people to do what I want them to do while they think it was their idea in the first place (don’t worry, I only use my powers for good!). House Baylor’s prime siren Catelina is my hero!
Oh, and I’m in the Washington, DC, area.
I would love to be in house baylor and with the power of the siren
canada
I would be an animal mage, so probably house harrison. I’m a crazy animal lover, I spend about 12 hours a week volunteering at my local animal shelter, I usually have a sick foster kitten (or 2 or 3) in my house at any given time, and I have an amazing ability to get even the meanest, shyest cats to come out and see me and get pets.
It would also be pretty easy to marry another animal mage as my husband is a cat lover and tells me all the time that he prefers to be around animals more than people. I think we are a pretty compatible match.
I’m in the USA
I would be a pyrokinesis mage because I love fire. I would be in House Baylor, because I love the Baylor family. I live in Canada.
Im in Canada.
House rogan with the ability of telekinesis.
I live in Ontario, Canada and I would most definitely be in House Baylor with the ability of telekinesis
Hey! I’m Maggie from Australia! I’d be in house Foresberg as a hopper! I hate public transport 🙂
I’m from Las Vegas, NV.
Definitely House Sagredo, I’ve always been told I have a good poker face and others have difficulty figuring out what I’m thinking. I think that’s similar to what House Sagredo powers are like. 🙂
I am from Canada, and I would love to be Telekinetic. So House Rogan it is!
Thanks 🙂
Lisa
I’d go House Marcus. Always wanted to be telekinetic. 🙂
I’m from the US!
Powerful and very awesome telekinesis from House Rogan or House Baylor. So AWESOME. From Canada
From House Pierce with the ability of pyrokinesis
Canada
If I were to chose which House I would be in, it would be House Montgomery with the powers of the elements. That would be so cool and wicked.
From Canada!
I’d be House Harrison and be an therionologist, I loved how Cornelius showed off what even a Significant Animal Mage could do!
I’m one of those people who can’t say no when people ask for help.
I need a house like Antistasi so I can make a powerful shield to keep other peoples emotions out!
I live in Alberta, Canada.
House Tremaine so I can be related to Nevada and tell Victoria a thing or two ?
I’m from the US.
I can’t make Up my mind so I think I would like to be a child of House Baylor. That way I have the chance of one of 3 powers or even better, a combination of 2 or 3 powers.
House Rogan so I can move things with my mind and never have to get up again XP
House Forsberg, a hopper. I feel like I hop around the house cleaning after kids so why not do it via air jumping??
USA
House Baylor, 100%!! I kind of like the idea that I’d have a random chance at any of the awesome power that they have. Plus, couldn’t ask for better back up in that dangerous , volatile world.
I’m from the US.
House Baylor. Not because of the powers or whatever, but because it would be amazing to belong to such a loving, functional, and supportive family. On the one and, there’s a lot less security in their House because of their newness, but they also lack all of the messed up expectations that other Houses set for their members. Power: along the lines of Grandmother’s and Bern’s ability to work with machines. That would be amazing.
The House that Cornelius’ daughter will eventually head. She has the most awesome pets.
Also: Eugene is a fantastic name for a turtle.
Can we make our own house, that is distantly linked to another house? I would like to be an off shoot of House Madero. Have the ability to harden my skin and also change the composition of objects that I touch. Although clearly with better breeding we get smaller, daintier and smarter. A Geokinetic mage.
International (happy to save you shipping and get a pdf version).
House Collins (Aquakinetic) – I have always wanted to control water and breathe underwater. 🙂 In the US!
I would be House Baylor – everyone is unique but united by their family ties. Of course, I’d love to be an animal mage, but working with machines would be my niche.
I would choose House Baylor. They are so awesome! I’m in the USA
I would be in House Forsberg. Imagine how much easier traveling would be!
Based in US
House Ade-Afefe. Weather mages are just awesome. The family seems to have a good moral compass and a great sense of humor. I would fit in there just fine.
House Baylor, for sure! Whatever it is called that Bern does. I feel like pattern sorting plays into my natural strengths 😉
I am in Canada.
I would be in house Sherwood, because I love to work in the garden and it would be cool to have magic that would make that easier.
Hi, I’m very curious about House Duncan and their powers. I’d say they are Elementalists, so I’d be from House Duncan and a Prime Elementalist (Water and Air).
Greetings from France !
It would have to be House Harrison – animal mage for sure!
House Rogan for the telekinesis! US 🙂
Son of house Madaeo
House Madaro, but much smaller than prior generation. awareness advantage due to unplanned out of house pairing. probable significant in house skill and a notable in Father’s empathy.
Due to size, less likely to strain system when using house power, but less total protection. advantages with overheating etc, empathy to break out of the mold of the house.
Character is challenged possibly outcast from traditional madaro viewpoint.
I would like to be Prime Antistasi, to have magic mental defenses ? and nullify magic or be a Prime Telekinetic Levitator, able to move living beings, including myself from place to place ???instantly. The world ? could be my oyster. I’d like to be in House Rogan because “Mad Rogan” gives people second chances, treats his people with care and would have your back.
Hello from Canada! I’d be House Baylor but a telekinetic so I wouldn’t have to get up and fetch things while I’m reading.
Daughter of House Ade-Afefe (weather mages)
I love that they are a powerhouse but are conscious of the impact their power can have around the world. I would love to learn more about them.
From the USA
So hard to make a choice! But I would choose House Collins because I think it would be cool to be Aquakinetic or any elemental power really! I live in the US
I would like to be part of House Etterson with their poison manipulation powers, or with plant control powers. Working under MII could be entertaining.
I live in Canada
I would like to be part of House Etterson with their poison manipulation powers, or with plant control powers. Working under MII could be entertaining.
I live in Canada
I can’t wait to find out more about Augustine, and House Montgomery. I’d like to be an Illusionist (remember the character of the Thief with her cloak of invisibility from “Dungeons & Dragons”?) I’m in the US.
House Harrison… I’d get the barrier of email between me and my family and awesome panthers roll out with. Win-win
House Baylor because family is all but as far as powers go House Harrison. Canada
I’d like to be distantly related to House Pierce Pyrokinetic House. I’d be based in the DFW area and they’d be those cousins we send Christmas cards to but don’t invite to family reunions. It would be fun to be a dark horse. My personality doesn’t really fit in with the hot-headed pyros but thats what would be so cool. I would go from cool, calm and collected to nuclear power mode so fast no one would see it coming.
Howdy from Texas
House Baylor. Family, honor, service. Despite the bad things they run into, they still stand up for ordinary people and appreciate simple things like pancakes. Cornelius and his daughter are entertaining. I knew he was feeding something with those bags, but I didn’t make the leap to rats. Purring blue tigers are much better.
House Tremaine.
Mind powers? I think River Tam said it best- “Also, I can kill you with my brain.”
House Etterson, a Prime Venenata so I’d be able to remove poison in anything. I wonder if that power includes removing bacteria and virus as well. Hmmm. From Cambodia here.
Canada – House Baylor so I could sit around the kitchen table and have pancakes with them. They have the best kitchen conversations!
I would love to be part of House Baylor! So many cool potential abilities, but I would really love to be a Prime Magister Exemplaria like Bernard! Or inherit Grandma Freida’s knack for communing with machines! I’m from the US.
House Rogan, I’d love to have telekinetic powers!
From the US.
I’d absolutely want to be a Teleporter, so I could visit family and friends in the blink of an eye. House Baylor 100%! | USA 🙂
House Montgomery! Would be so cool to be able to change how you look. I could go run around the CIA with Augustus!!!
House Ade-Afefe: elementalist. It would be so cool!!
House Vidente, and precognition for me, please! (US)
I would want to be a member of House Sherwood. I am an avid gardener but live in the highly demanding climate of the high desert in Southern California. The ability to be a plant mage would be just delightful. I can imagine myself wondering around my one acre every day, giving some love and encouragement to all of my leafy (and spiny) plant friends. Plant Mage – a dream come true.
Etterson House. As an analytical chemist being able to *know* what the drug was would be so cool not to mention good for my career! (PS I’m from Australia)
House Harrison – Animal Mage – so I could convince my cat not to pee on the dirty laundry anymore.
House Montgomery, no question. Then impersonate Pence (or Putin – it’s a tough choice) and do a press conference in drag – big hair, sequins, platform heels and all…
I’m in NY
Mmm, I think I’d go with house Harrison. My cats are practically bonded as is, would be nice if we could have a proper understanding about cat appropriate surfaces… I’m very much a ‘pets are family’ person.
Living in New Zealand
I love the dynamic in House Baylor and how everyone always has each others back and their motto. as for powers, i don’t think i would want to be a prime but i would love teleportation powers
I’d go House Molpe. Wondering if they’re similar to Catalina?
From the US.
(Also don’t know if this posted the first time, sorry if it’s a duplicate!)
Has to be House Rogan, How cool to be telekinetic, think how much quicker the housework would get done. More reading time.
From the UK.
House Harrison and be an animal mage! Animals are cool 🙂
In USA.
Magister Examplaria.
None of the houses mentioned fit me though. I’m not cool enough for House Baylor. I’m not plant-y enough for House Sherwood. House Charles is just a no. If we are being realistic, I’d probably just be a non-family employee of a bigger, more powerful house.
I’m from Canada.
I would be part of House Montgomery. My power would be creating the illusion of touch, anything from finger walk up up someone’s thigh to that feeling spiders crawling under your skin. The possibilities are endless.
House Harrison because I love animals and being able to communicate with them would make life so much easier: “No don’t eat that it will give you a tummy ache”, “Please move over and let mommy’s legs stretch out on the sofa”, “Go to pee now I need to go to bed”, “Don’t bite him he’s just here to deliver this package”.
House Rogan! I am in the process of building a new stable building for my dairy cows and I could really use the telekinetic powers for the heavy lifting!
I am from Austria.
I would like to be a combat mage Herbamagos.
I could use trees or vines i control to catch my enemy (or worse), grow seemingly pretty flowers that are poisonous and such. I could always walk around with seeds hidden with me, and in a time of danger I could make them grow around me and attack with them or even make them grow within the enemy and kill/disengage them through that.
Maybe the Herbamagos I think about is a little like a poison mage but with plant base design on the poison – they do have a lot in common.
This power could also be a very powerful defense force for a forte (I could grow a dangerous forest filled with dangerous plants that could easily kill/immobilize invaders/spies).
I think that Herbamagos mages can do things that are beyond just pharma/medical research (which if funny for me to think so since I’m a pharmacist ? )
However I don’t think that I would like to be in Sherwood house since I don’t really like either prime or their wife ? – perhaps I would be a staff member of house Rogan and be a part on the defense team for his fort or be a part of Castra and be a specialized combat mage with an advantage in missions within forests/jungles where I can make the surrounding turn on my enemy or use it to spy on them.
I’m from Israel
(sorry for the long post :))
I think I would be a Harmonizer with house Baylor. I always kinda suck in the energy around me and am influenced by it. This might lead to feeling great joy, but it might also make you feel insecure when you pick up on the bad moods of others and start feeling responsible for it. It would be lovely to balance out those bad moods and make others as well as yourself feel better.
And I am from Germany ?
I would say House Sherwood, but I think my family would have their own House.
House Sánchez, we are a big family and our grandmother teached us to love and care for plants and flowers, so yes, we would be Herbamagos. I’m from México. (sorry for my english).
I think I’d want to be a mnemonic. Fear of losing the mind/mental capacity looms large when you have a family history of dementia and early onset Alzheimers, so the idea of perfect recall is appealing. And I’d have to be part of House Baylor, of course, someone has to remember all the things the distracted Primes forget!
I’m Qi, from Canada! I would have to be in House Harrison, on the one hand because I appreciate and identify with the East Asian representation there, and on the other because the story of Nari, Cornelius, and Matilda made me cry buckets. I also have dogs and a little brother who are the most precious things in this world to me, so naturally, having the ability to communicate and bond with animals, with a side of empathic power, would be a dream where I could make my world even more full of love <3
My dream is to be a Sherwood – I have been trying to grow a plant, any plant, for years to no avail. More likely, though, I am a Baylor, and I’d be a pattern mage like Bern. I love figuring things out, I enjoy taking tests (!), and I do math problems for fun. I’m from Canada!
I would be in House Sagredo or Shaffer because I prefer a magical ability that’s more understated. I’m picking Shaffer over the other truthseeking houses because I like structure and the freedom that comes with a private organization 🙂
IDK that this is a “house” per se cuz I don’t remember the guys last name but that Micheal? guy that absolutely owned the evil grandma .. and Nevada (iirc) that power seems more than has been fleshed out (however it could be some school of nullification or something) for some reason I also recall some type of fire there .. ya my memory is pretty fuzzy on the whole of the keepers powers. Honestly if we were to open this to “other” in your written universe.. i would definitely be much more interested in being part of the Mire Rats.
I would love to have telekinesis like House of Rogan. Being small, it would be great to move large and heavy objects without help. I’m a US resident.
House Harrison Animal mage. I’m international, in Australia.
I was thinking the hoppers, but now I’m thinking house Harrison as it would be nice to know what the heck my animals have going on in their little brains every once in a while. ?
Since I became a mom, I’ve thought that if i could ever have superpower, it would be like elastigirl from The Incredibles. If my kids need something while I’m driving or nursing the baby, I could easily help them. Since there’s no “stretchy body” house, I’m settling on House Rogan. But limited power please. I’m clumsy. No need for a clumsy person to be capable for Rogan-like abilities.
I’m from United States
I’m a dummy and accidentally posted an incomplete post as a reply to someone else’s comment. So here’s take 2. ?
I think I would choose House Rogan since I like to have combat skills
Hello from India. If given a chance to be a part of hidden legacy I would choose the Baylor house. Though it can be hurtful, the truth is a powerful tool and I would love to be a truthseeker.
House Sherwood! I want to be a plant mage
I can’t decide if I would like more being an Animal mage, an herbamagus, or a water elementalist… So I think I would be a Significant Animal mage with a lesser secondary ability as waterkinetic that translates with an increased affinity with water based animals and plants! An Italian branch of House Harrison, I think.
Greetings from Pisa (Italy)!
I would want to be in house Tremaine, that way I could be related to House Balyor. I also think that Victoria has a lot left to teach the Balyor family (whether they want to learn it or not) and I believe in learning from the best.
USA
Hi everyone, I will definately choose house Harison. I love animals and what amazing power would it be to be able to communicate and understand them effortlessly.
Big love from France 🙂
What a difficult question. If I remember correctly, the authorlords shared a quizz titled “What powers do you have in the Hidden legacy World?” (or something like this). In this quiz I was a “Fulgurkinetic – mastery over lightning. Able to shoot lightning bolts as a weapon”. But I could also imagine beeing a “Psychrokinetic – mastery over ice, a subset of Aquakinetics. Able to rapidly drop temperatures”. It would be highly ironical if I’d be a Psychrokinetic because I detest the cold. Really. I’m freezing nearly all the time.
For the house…. I don’t want to be in a house. I’d like to observe everything. And if everything goes down, I’ll swoop in to save the day with my powers, just to stress the point, that I don’t need a house 😉
House Ade-Afefe! I’m from Florida, with an upcoming hurricane season. ‘Nuff said 😉
I’d say Baylor, not because it’s the main house the stories have revolved around. But because it reminds me of my home. I’m the mom seeking truth…and pretty spot on and determining a lie…from lying teenagers. Who is like a siren, good looks and knows it.
House Montgomery, to be an Illusion Prime. Being an illusion prime would give you the power to overcome absolutely any nemesis, because no matter what their power, in combat against you they’d never be able to trust their senses. The lines between reality and illusion her blurred, and finally disappear. This ability is probably more terrifying than any other, because even a truth seeker wouldn’t be able to tell whether the apparition in front of their eyes is real or not. It’s definitely the coolest power to have.
-From India
House Sherwood (led by Edward). It’s the closest to a Hufflepuff house that we’ve met (considering the adventures they’ve gone through!) and plus, it would be real nice to not have my plants die all the time 🙂
House Montgomery! Not interested in changing my own appearance for the heck of it, but being a spy would be pretty awesome.
A few years back my husband’s job took us from Texas to the North Shore just outside of Chicago. Surviving winters here has given me a very healthy respect for Mother Nature. I’d totally choose house Ade-Afefe. Our public pool opens tomorrow and the high is supposed to be 55. ?♀️ I’d love to be able to control the weather and bring some much needed warmth and sunshine!
I would like to be part of House Harrison, I love animals and the idea of communicating and bonding with them is kind of appealing to me.
Many Greetings from Germany!
Animal Mage from House Harrison! I think I’m already leaning that way with my pack of animals ?. US entry ??
Hi from Australia!
Im going to go with House Rogan…preferably as Nevada & Rogan’s telekenetic+truthseeker offspring!! Haha
If I had to pick though, a telekenetic talent would amazing. Its so adaptable: you can float a cup of coffee over for someone you love, or you can drop a bus on someone you hate. Life is all about balance.
Hi ! I’m Denise from Canada, and I’d love to receive an ARC! I think I’d qualify as an Average animal mage in House Harrison… a posse of dogs at my command and a plethora of mice keeping sentry watch ?
US resident
Definitely House Baylor! I love the family dynamics. I wouldn’t want truth speaking but would love to have Arabella’s beast.
House Harrison
So I can communicate with animals.
I think I would go with House Baylor just to be part of that family. All of the magic seems to have a lot of downsides but I would probably go with Truthseeking and I would also want to solve crimes with it!
House Harrison.
I’ve always wanted to be able to communicate with animals. To be able to understand and listen to what they have to say and feel, the things they have seen and experienced, and the companionship that bond would offer.
I don’t want or need a wicked combat power to be happy.
Even as a kid I’ve always chosen telekinesis when given a choice of powers – so it’s House Rogan for me!
I’m in the US.
I would want to be in House Vidente because I think being a precog would be so helpful. I would especially love to just have to dream about the stock market in order to make money so I could focus on other things during the daytime.
From the US
I would want to be in House Vidente because I think being a precog would be so helpful. I would especially love to just have to dream about the stock market in order to make money so I could focus on other things during the daytime.
From the US
I’d want to be in House Forsberg. Because I want to be able to teleport to wherever.
I wish there’s a house that can do time travel too.
From Philippines
I would have to pick a Herbamagos family as I love plants and nature and have a driving need to protect our green spaces. This would mean I would have to be a Significant or Prime in order to do a good job.
I’d be in House Rogan. My power would be Magister Examplaria. I’m from India.
House Baylor, then I could have bad A witch powers … like spells, mind control, glamour, and strength …
I would be part of House Baylor employed as a Mnemonic. Diversity in staff skills will help build our reputation and I won’t feel as if I’m compromising my principles as I would working for a money-first company like House Montgomery.
For powers I think Magister Examplaria would be pretty cool to have. I don’t have a particular house I would want to be a part of. Can’t I create my own? Otherwise I’m thinking that Magister Examplaria power is closer to the truthseeker one than the others listed. So I would pick House Baylor.
It would have to be the African weather house, and lightning – so I could smite every annoying gobsh*te crossing my path in our very f-ed up country at the moment, starting with all the politicians scrambling for the leadership position.. yes, sadly I’m in the UK..?☹️
I would like to be part of the house Etterson where poisons are dealt with – be a healer of physical and mental illnesses
Either House Etterson and (is this possible?) I’d want to be a dual Herbamagos/Magus Venenata. Able to get food anywhere without being poisoned, potential for creating awesome healing elixirs/pastes/etc! Plant whisperer…
OR I’d want to be a teleporter/levitator – I like to travel and see new places but I don’t particularly like flying in planes… also I tend to be late places…
I would be in House Montgomery and have the power of illusionist. I would love making stories come to life!
Being a former farmer I think that animal mage would be my choice, or healing mage. Yes, a caretaker would be my choice I think with my own house here in Iceland. My first job would be to stop those greedy buggers in the government that want to give the common healthcare to their greedy friends and families for privatization.
Future House Rohan/Baylor – think of the combinations all those powers will produce.
House Harcourt; I just wanna summon weird shit. Living in South Africa 🙂
House Etterson. As a Venenata, ain’t nobody going to mess with me! Although, I guess that isn’t true, based on the chapter 1 excerpt. Fingers crossed that I win the ARC so I can see who would mess with House Etterson! Thank you for this giveaway!
House Baylor because they are all quirky, kind of regular joes but with this big family secret of their amazing powers. Not to mention they are a big family that loves each other very much. I’d be a truth seeker like Nevada. Very quiet understated power that strikes with a vengeance when needed.
I’d want to be telekinetic. So of course that means I want to be part of House Rohan, because I want a kick ass big brother/father like him!
Definitely a Magus Venenata or something along those lines. Maybe working at a place like Biocore with poisons/medications. Sign me up for House Etterson!
I think I’d want to have the ability to create illusions like House Montgomery but I don’t want to have to report to Augustine…
I don’t recall meeting anyone in the books who could teleport but if that’s an ability, I’d love that!
As for a house, gotta be House Baylor! Every other house seems a bit too intense.
I’m in Canada, btw.
I would be part of house Rio. I would be a significant pyrokinetic, kinda am oddball in a family of herbimagos. My usefulness during planting keeps me around even with being a misfit. I just need to make sure to keep control so I don’t scare my green thumb cousins.
House Montgomery with the power to change my appearance at will. No more worrying about gray hairs and roots! I’m in the USA and would LOVE an ARC of Sapphire Flames. ?
I would definitely like to be in House Etterson. I would fit right in here!!
I’d want to be an illusion prime, but in House Baylor, not House Montgomery. (I’m in the U.S.)
I have done Aaryas quiz on Buzzfeed twice. I am a siren. I don’t want to be a siren, it is to thrilling for me. I want to be an empath.
Probably I am part of House Charles, as a cousin of Rhynda. As a hidden siren I can do spying.
I am from Germany
I’d want to be a part of House Baylor, but I’d want to be a levitator even though it’s not like their powers.
Animal mage all the way – so House Harrison I guess. I’m in Canada
I would love to a member of House Baylor because of their amazing family and be a teleporter. It would be cool to be able to transport from one place to another in an instant.
(I’m from India)
Wind mage for me. I appreciate that aerokinetics are “all fancy dancing until you drop something heavy on them” but who doesn’t want to fly?!
I don’t know what House aerokinetics are typically associated with. So I’ll go with being turned out of my original House and being adopted by House Baylor.
I’m from the UK.
I want to be part of House Ade-Afefe . I think that is how you spell it. They control the weather. I want to be able to send water to those states experiencing droughts, and sunny skies and less rain to those that need it. And I want to assist with keeping Alaska and colder climates cold and not succumbing to the warmth that is occurring around the world. For animals as much as people?
I debate between House Baylor, because those ladies are so cool, and House Harrison because I love animals. 🙂
Whenever I am asked for my ideal superpower, I always want to be able to teleport, but only for 100 yards or so. So I guess I’m a hopper at heart like House Forsberg (although I hope I’m not like them in any other way).
On the other hand, my “useless superpower,” something I’m very good at even though OMG why would anyone want to be able to do that, is IDing roadkill. I can tell an ex-possum from an ex-raccoon at thirty paces. So . . . .which House can see through illusions?
House Montgomery, I think it would be really fun to change my look whenever I wanted to. Lol, and it’s a pretty powerful house too.
Aquakinetic. House Dalin. (There’s gotta be more aquakinetic houses than Collins, so why not make up a Baltic one?)
Me gustaría ser de la Casa Harrison… Creo que poder conectarse con los animales es asombroso!! Soy de Argentina
House Harrison, for sure! I always thought it would be so amazing to be a therionologist (animal mage) since I read Wild Magic by Tamora Pierce when I was a kid. I’m in the US!
Truth has always been important to me and as a law student I’d want to be a Elenchus. Fairness is also important so I’d wish to be part of House Baylor, or if I needed a second choice – House Lin (if I remember correctly that they’re not creepy).
I’m from the UK.
House Sherwood for me, since I have a green thumb. Other housed may be cooler but plants are great.
I’m from Switzerland.
I would like to be part of House Harrison- to be able to commune with animals would be amazing.
Sherwood – plant mage
USA
My comment isn’t going to be very popular but it’s honest; I actually haven’t read any of the series.
But that’s why I am posting! I would like to try this series out! Given the replies here- and elsewhere- this is one I need in my life.
Is there a “house” involving air or wind? If so, that one! I hope my guess is appropriate. Heh this is fun!
I would like to be part of House Harcourt to be able to summon things!
I’m from France
House Sherwood so I can be a herbamagos – specifically trees! I love growing plants and fruit trees are always a bit more fun.
USA
I would also love to be a wind mage or have the gift of persuasion. Flying would super cool or getting my students to turn in their homework. I’ll take either one 🙂
Plant mage is the way to go! Love growing things.
I would be herbamagos, and help trees, flowers and food grow everywhere! This is not surprising to anyone who knows me, because woman with 100 roses always wants more ! So House Sherwood would be the best fit, but my heart says Baylor ! I live in Serbia! Thanks!
I’ll admit I was fascinated by Olivia’s gift in White Hot. Someone needs to be a prime manipulator who uses it for good!!! And that can be me 🙂 So from Rynda’s House, House Charles.
USA
Telekinesis for me, please. In my dream world, Arroza Rogan had a daughter as well as a son, and I am that daughter.
I would probably be a Harmonizer. Creating spaces ( and times) that feel pleasant, welcoming and relaxing for others is probably not very kick ass but important for me.
Not sure if there are any Harmonizer Houses. I would rather not be related with Harper ;).
I am in Germany.
Baylor. Truthseeker all the way.
I’m in the US
House Harrison. Small house but doing well and animal companions!
I would want to be animal mage in House Harrison.
An empath in House Charles!
House Tremaine because its all about the truth. That way lies power and fear.
I love working with plants and seeing my flowers bloom and grow, so I guess House Sherwood. Except that they’re not a house anymore. But still, I’d like to be a herbamagos if there are any other houses with that talent. I’m in the USA.
In reality, probably House Harrison she says with a cat on her lap and a dog at her feet.
I’d like to be in House Forsberg so that I could be a hopper. I love to travel do I’ve always wanted to be able to teleport.
I’d probably end up an empath. I’d rather have truth seeking, but I’m pretty sure I’d be the emotional basketcase, lol.
Me me me…pick me!!
House Harrison animal mage for me. I’d love to be able to claim that I can commune with my Doberman and get her to plug into anyone’s needs in command. But at least she can always get me to do what she wants!!
I’d be a mech mage for house baylor. I love cars and machines way too much not to be. By the way hello from the US. *waves*
As the mother of two small children who are currently exhausted, but WILL NOT SLEEP I would love to be in the Charles family. Some empathic sandman juju would be much appreciated in my life.
House Harrison here with all of my fur babies I have to be able to communicate with!
House Forsberg so that I can draw creatures out of the arcane world
I don’t know because I’ve only read the Edge series and the Innkeeper series. (More Innkeeper, please!!) But it would be fun to be “aerokinetic .”
I would like to be a plant mage, so House Sherwood!
It would be fantastic if I could have my own home orchard.
Japan
I would choose to be a part of House Tremaine (the most feared house )and my power would be telepathy. I’m from Canada.
Long-range teleportation is my dream. But so far in this world, I’ve only seen short-range, so if that’s out, I’m going telekinetic all the way. House Rogan (East Wing, if you please).
USA
I would be an herbamago, with a focus on fruit trees. I’m already a master gardener with too many fruit trees in a small yard. It would be so nice to be able to convince the trees to grow the way I need them to, rather than having to constantly prune them.
House Sherwood maybe? I’d be a pattern mage like Bern or Kyle. (Canada)
Precog sounds cool so House Vidente.
Canada
House Baylor for sure!
House Baylor all the way. Sounds trite but they have such a wide range of abilities, and clearly all of them are kicka**. I’m usually a pretty shy person, so I don’t think I would wield Nevada nor Arabella’s powers with as much swagger as the two of them. It would be interesting to be a siren, though it would come with in numerous complications as Catalina has already shown us.
From the USA.
I’d totally be an Aquakinetic.
My maiden name was Collins and my zodiac sign is Aquarius. Literal perfect fit.
Of course I’d want to be something cool, rare, and badass, but I’m fine with controlling water. 🙂
House Ade-Afefe in Austin. We need some weather mages right now….
I’d rather be freelance than Housebound. It presents extra risks, but also seems to give a bit more freedoms. As far as powers go something involving electricity sounds cool, if impractical.
I think I might belong to house Pierce and be pyrokinetic!
House Rogan if I get to be the baby that Connor and Nevada have. I’d be able to have a combination of both their houses in my genes. Truthseeker, siren, metamorphose, magister examplaria, magus sagittarius, mech mage, telekinetic, tactile, and empathetic.
USA
House Harrison
Animals are my thing…
House Harrison, Therionologist. I’ve never been able connect well with people, but since I got my first dog as a child, I was hooked. The bonds I form with my animals are one of the most significant parts of my life. Anything from my horses, dogs, cat, ferrets I had as a child or the pigeons that hang out with my on my porch. It’d would be a dream come true.
Coming from Canada.
I would be in House Baylor because I like having a conscience (unfortunately) and my power would be a Mnemonic would be super useful for the wretched college degree I’m trying to get. Also super useful in petty squabbles, nothing like being told ‘I told you so’ from a person with a perfect memory and it would be super useful for a apprentice translator. Ireland.
House Baylor, because they’te All awesome!
House Baylor all the way! Fun loving, hard working & unpretentious ❤️
But I’d rather be a prime Aerokinetic, flying would be fun…
I would love to have the ability to teleport to any place in the world… especially so I can visit my loved ones and famous places in history… I suppose this would be some kind of advanced telekinetic ability which means I would probably be in House Rogan. Ideally I would love to combine my telekinetic ability with telepathy so I could read minds. Would love to see a person with these enormous powers come to life in print one day!
[From Mauritius]
I’d be a part of the European branch of House Rogan – that big extended family and all the cousins is very much my life and telekinesis would be very useful to have
From UK
Latimer (cause they sound cool) or Sherwood since that’s the house most connected to the earth I’ve read about and I’d def be a geokenitic mage 🙂

House Harrison, Animal mage or House Etterson, Poison mage as both would be interesting
From Australia
House Harrison, would like to be able to communicate with Animals. USA.
Definitely House Montgomery, I would love to change myself with illlusin to other another person and to “playc the differnet characters!
I’m from Germany, greetings from there! 🙂
Hi from Australia!
Aquakinetic for House Collins. The sea life and water from the Great Barrier Reef will always be special to me.
I would like to belong to House Harrison although small and unassuming they still pack a punch they can be sneaky and cunning and I love sneaky and cunning. Animals should also be given a lot more credit than they deserve. Our dog came at a time in our life where he was needed and where he needed us and we needed him. I’m not power hungry but in the hierarchy I don’t want to be at the top or at the bottom that is why House Harrison is perfect. Besides I think Cornelius sends some lovin and as this is all fictional I am the gal for the job lol.
Although my favorite house is House Baylor, I’d probably be in House Rogan because I’d love some telekinetic or teleportation skills! I’m currently recovering from surgery & I hate not being able to get things & having to ask people for help!
BTW – I’m in USA (FL)
House Rogan with telekinesis! Or Baylor with their very unusual powers! (USA)
If I could make up a house it would be House Egia-Itzuli which would have the mental based power of being a universal translator by being able speak and understand any language, and to hear the truth behind the words. This house would be famous for being master negotiators both in business and between nations. We would be the ones called in for peace negotiations, and to help coordinate in natural disasters. The lesser known side of this house would be that we are information collectors and can also act as spies.
If I have to choose from houses that already exist in the Hidden Legacy universe, I would be part of House Sherwood and would be working on developing plant based alternative fuels, power generation, and pollution filtration.
I live in the UK.
There are so many awesome abilities I’d love to try but I think right now, as I’m living with a chronic illness, I’d enjoy telekinesis the most, so House Rogan. I can just imagine the joy of choreographing water, kettle, teabag, soya milk and xylitol into the most delicious cup of tea and then taking a little spin in my flying armchair!
(In case you haven’t guessed from the tea reference, I’m from the U.K.) 🙂
P.S. Thanks for all the wonderful books, Ilona and Gordon; you have given me many happy hours.
House Harrison for sure. I’m a teacher, and would love to have some classroom helpers… maybe a few Border Collies to work with us on field trips, the class hamsters to collect lost pencils, birds to demonstrate beak adaptations first hand? I’m international (Switzerland)
House Rogan with Mnemonic powers
USA
I’d probably be House Baylor, a truth seeker. I am pretty good at figuring out if someone is lying already, and lying is a pet peeve of mine so it seems most natural. I’m in the US, thanks for this giveaway!
Animal image for me, too. I would love to be able to communicate better with my furry children. USA
A telekinetic from House Rogan. Sometimes I’d like to sit back and watch my housework get done. I’m from the US.
Australia
House Harrison- animal mage; I’d want to know what the cats are saying.

I’m from Canada! Thank you for this exciting giveaway!
I would like to be a part of House Baylor and my power would be similar to Bern’s, a pattern mage.
I would be House Harrison but I would want to be a specialist in marine animals.
Wouldn’t it be amazing to be able to communicate with whales and dolphins and find out what they really think of these pesky upright apes!
I’m in the UK
Telekinesis would be very useful, so House Rogan for me. 🙂
I think considering my family do have a Javanese Sea-Goddess as an ancestral patron/ancestor. I think my lineage would have a Siren. I’d probably be attached to House Molpe as an unwilling retainer from a rival House.
International – Malaysia.
I would be part of House Baylor. I’ve always been a bit of an outsider. Definitely with Magister Examplaria powers.
USA
House Collins- aqua kinetic. But not evil – although I do teach high school math, so maybe ½ evil?
House Sagredo – I would not only be an Antisasi Prime but also an empath and neutralize your powers with feeling of calmness and happiness. So you couldn’t even focus on destroying me anymore.
House Baylor would be amazing! They all have such great abilities. USA
I’m so intrigued by the Antistasi’s ability to nullify magic. If that type of magic were in someone as strong as Rogan would they just switch off all Prime magic whenever they enter the room? I kind of love the idea of a character like that :). I’m so excited to see what Alessandro can do now!
So I’m putting in vote to be an Antistasi from House Sagredo :).
(Australia)
I would be in House Baylor. If there’s anything that makes me really irritated it’s when people lie to me. I would want to be a truthseeker and like Nevada I would want to use my power to help people who fall victim to the lies of others.
Anything would be great! I think I would like to be a member of house Sherwood. (I am a biologist…house Harrison is a close second….)
House Montgomery able to appear as the illusion of your favorite fur-baby.
I’ve always loved the idea of being telekinetic, so House Rogan. USA.
House Baylor because it needs some primes. Would like to be a detective who could see what magics were used at crime scene with an animal companion.
I would be in House Baylor, a Truthseeker.
I am in Canada.
House Montgomery! I’d love to be able to create illusions. (Canada)
I would love to be apart of House Harrison. I have always loved animals, so the power to tame and befriend any creature is super appealing. I mean who wouldn’t want to cuddle with a tiger like beast from another dimension like Zeus?
House Baylor as a Truthseeker. Figuring out who’s lying and also compelling people to tell the truth is definitely a useful skill.
USA
The idea of being part of House Rogan is seductive. All that power. Whoa.
But I think I’m better suited for House Sherwood or possibly House Harrison. To feel that deep connection to plants or animals would be very fulfilling. And enlightening. And exhilarating.
USA
Hello everyone 🙂
Greetings from Germany to the world.
I would be in an house, which is not yet named I think. We would propably be a kombination of Magister Exemplaria and Mech Mage – a house full of engineers and creators.
Due to Grandma Frieda’s relation to Germany, my house might be far related to the house or bloodline of Grandma Frieda. Her special skills in mechanics would fit to the skills of my hypothetic house.
Best wishes
Ann (from Germany)
I would love to be in House Harrison. Animals are my morning coffee. I would totally be House Hufflepuff in the Harry Potter series. I would love to be total badass like House Rogan or Baylor but the idea of connecting with pure love and acceptance? Where do I buy my ticket?!!
I would love to be in House Rogan. I would love to be able to move things with my mind. As a teacher and a mom this ability would sure come in handy.
(USA)
House Sherwood. I’d be a plant mage. Because biomedical research! And new plant based compounds to cure everything
I would be in House Sherwood to work on cures for the diseases that scourge the earth. Also, I love plants! They make me feel happy and serene.
House Harrison ! Would love to be an animal mage !
And hello from France 🙂
I would be in House Harrison with therionologist powers.
I live in the USA. I would be in house Harrison, screw the dangerous powerful stuff, I would go for enhanced animal connection anytime. My bargain was struck with my poodles the first time we met. Second choice would be the Barr family I would love to be the Beast of Cologne.
I would be a young kid with lots of telekenetic power who joins House Rogan.
France.
I would be in house Etterson (the nefarious branch of the family). I would love to be a villain using poison, a modern lucrezia borgia.
Decadence,power and crazy-evil laugh 😉
I think I’d like to be in House Harrison as I like animals but I’d like to be a teleporter as I like to travel too (and am always late!)
Rachel in England
House Baylor, all the way. Because they are nice and a family, and the rest of these folks are borderline psychopaths. I’d want to be a Siren, because who wouldn’t want everyone to love you? Of course, it does seem like it could get a bit out of line.
House Etterson for sure. Tricky, particular work and it would never be boring.
I’m from Canada!
I’m another one for House Sagredo – I would be an Antisasi Prime with a second power to be to pick good books to read.
Hi I would like to be in House Rio (are they Brazilian! yay)and be Herbamagos and work with plants, try to replant deforested areas. I’m from USA
I would be in House Sagredo…I love the mental powers they have. I’m in the US
House Harrison, because it would be great to bond with a Giant Flemish rabbit or my pet six toed cat, Thumbs.
House HArrison cause I want to figure out what my cats are thinking
House Harrison. Love cats!!!
I would like to know what goes on inside their little animal brains. What do they think of us??
I would like to be an animal mage because I’ve always wanted to be able to understand animals. I think I would like to be in house Baylor because it’s full of kick butt women. I’m in the U.S.
I would like to be in House Ade Afefe and be a weather prime. I think it would be great to help lesson draught and hurricane destruction. Plus zap a bad guy with a bolt of lightening if my life depended on it ?. I live in the USA
House Rogan – because telekinesis! How cool would that be. (Hello from Singapore!)
I think that being a hopper would be really cool since you could travel distances in the blink of an eye. However, House Forsberg is the only house we’ve been introduced to with that ability and they don’t have the best track record. If I had to pick a house to be a part of it would definitely be House Baylor. (United States)
I vote for House Rogan and would want the Breaker ability to break through Hexes placed on the minds of others. Fits right in with the security firm and I’ll be protected at the same time. – From USA.
I would love to be part of House Ade-Afefe. Imagine to have the power to control the weather. That would be amazing! I’d had the power to create rain. Maybe
a small power, but super helpful in the agronomy industry.
I’m from Ecuador, in South America.
House Baylor all the way….I would take any ability but truthseeker would be preferred….USA JC MO
I realized that I forgot to include what power I would like in my original post then couldn’t find my original post and accidentally replied to the wrong post … I’m making anoth r post but please only count one entry for me.
I would like to join House Baylor since their code of ethics is one I very much agree with. I don’t think I would be able to handle being in a House with anything less
I’d also want Nevada’s truthseeker powers. I’m really bad at reading people and it drives me nuts when I can’t figure out if people are saying things I want to hear to be polite or being sarcastic etc.
House Harrison and I’d have a pack of cats and dogs who are also certified therapy animals.
And I’m international–Canada. Loved Kate and loving this series!
I want to be Teleporter.
Forget the key in the house and lock myself out? No more problem!
Want to go to the other side of the wall but have to walk around 500m? Piece of cake.
Want to get that fruit at the top of the tree? No need for a stick (is that the word?) anymore!
But I want to be in house Baylor, of course.
From Thailand
I would belong to House Latimer, mostly because they are powerful/dangerous but still willing to help any “and guest” in need. I would be able to speak (and persuade in) every language.
Living in the Netherlands.
