It’s Giveaway Friday, squeee!
House Andrews have witnessed the Horde’s long-suffering battle with our most relentless adversaries, W*iting and P*tience.
To fortify morale, they are gifting This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me: 1 hardcover copy will go to a lucky US winner and 2 PDF ARCs to international winners.
To Enter:
Comment below and let us know:
- which country you’re from
- what your name would be, if, like Maggie, you would find yourself transported into a book (any book, by any author).
You can use your own name, make one up, or go full fantasy-protagonist and keysmash a lot of “y” and “z” into the usual unpronounceable creations. Have fun, Horde!

This is a blog-only giveaway, only answers in blog comments count.
Winners will be chosen next Friday, February 27th 2026, with the aid of a random number generator.
The international winners will have to sign an NDA before receiving their PDF copies. This is not personal, but standard publishing practice to ensure the file will remain private with the winner. We appreciate your understanding.
For readers who are receiving this post in their newsletter email and don’t know how to get to the blog to make a valid entry comment, you can click here.
Comments are paginated, so the BDH chalance doesn’t break the blog (again lol). If you don’t see your entry, it means it’s on a previous page. Please do not resubmit, it is one entry per person.
Happy weekend and good luck!
