This Kingdom Will Giveaway Us

Blog, Give away, Maggie POST A COMMENT by

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:

  1. which country you’re from
  2. 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!

Giveaway Admin

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!

  3. I am in the US. I haven’t read the excerpt yet, so I don’t know for sure how the naming worked.

    If I were transported, my name might be one of my favorite book characters: Charlotte, from the edge.

  4. Hi, I am from the USA, and my character name would be Titina. When I say it, most people think it’s a stutter! Thank you for the chance to get your wonderful book!

  5. I am from Puerto Rico but currently living in the US. I love my name but probably would go with my nickname Giovi.

  7. Melissa from NY. My character’s name would be Xalashi~
    Love you guys! Thanks for feeding us so regularly,

  9. I’m from the US. My name would be Kerry, Lady of the Broken Land (because I live in Texas which is already a horror story!)

  12. I’m from United States.

    If I could have picked my name, it would have been Autumn or Sahrah. I’d even accept Shara

  14. I am from Australia, but I was born in Pakistan. I would keep my name Cezanne as that is what my father named me before I was born.

  16. 1.us
    2. probably ‘look at that rotting corpse on the side of the road’. (I have no survival instinct whatsoever.)

  21. 1. US
    2. Ruth of the Measured Word and Iron Timeline, Keeper of Cats, Compliance, and Controlled Panic, She Who Sends the Follow-Up

  22. I am from United States and my name is Zenith and I would love to be swept away to “Sweep With Me”.

  24. Years ago my ‘CON’ name, still used now: Xanne ne’ Bettea ( a riff on Roxanne daughter of Betty). I have lived the last decades in Minnesota, USA. I await the Twin Cities author visit in April!

  27. 1. USA
    2. Cyntucha Cara de Trucha. My childhood nickname, the last part which literally translates to trout face lol but the meaning is fast and alert/aware.

  30. USA
    Bethany of the Northern Climes,
    Gatekeeper of the Elixirs, Wielder of the Compounds, Dualie Zealot of the Bandy

  31. US, and I think I would want to just be Jenn. It’s always felt warmer to me than my full name.

  32. I am from the SC in the US. I suppose my name would depend on which book I landed in. For Maggie’s book I would be Amelia the Eident.

  33. Hi, Jenny from the UK, I’d like to use my own name or the short or long versions (Jen/Jennifer) because for once I’d like to read a book where the character with that name is not useless or turns bad then killed off.

  38. I’m from US and I’d probably be known as Blip since I would be there one second and gone the next if I landed in any fantasy world!

  44. UK here. As a tween I named myself (and got an email address for) Gypsi Anne Adams, so I’d be called that.
    Gypsi was a favourite character from, iirc, Chalet School books. Anne my favourite from the Famous Five or Five Find-Outers (can’t recall which). Adams because I was going to marry Ben from A1. That should age me sufficiently 🤣

  48. The United States. I love the name Austin! I would fit right in The Hidden Legacy, which I LOVE!

  51. Hello! I am from Canada and I would keep my own name Laura because it would be had to remember another one !

    • Hey,
      I’m from Tennessee and my other name would be Sasha Travelle, especially as I got lucky with Sasha being my middle name- much easier to remember 🙂 .

  53. Shizukana Hariken from the U.S. VERY rough translation from Japanese of Quiet Hurricane (and if it isn’t, I like the sound of it anyway)

  54. Hi from Emer of the ‘Aquatic Isle’, otherwise known as Ireland. It has been raining here since Christmas. Even for us, that is seriously ‘damp’ weather! Every nugget from House Andrews lifts my spirits, while I wait with great chalance, (and gritted teeth) for Maggie’s release.

  56. Greetings! I’m from US. I often, in my imagination at least, insert myself into various stories. I would be Jerran Wyntekill.

  58. I’m from the United States and my name would be Lady Elissabeth Silverwood.
    So excited for this new book! I’ve been re-reading and listening to your other series while waiting!

  61. I’m from Jersey in the Channel Islands.
    If I was transported into a book my name would have to be Gorbash.

  62. USA

    My name is Heidi, which everyone already gets wrong. They either spell it wrong or say it wrong. So I’d probably keep it.

  63. Hello! I am from France and I would use a different name, Elvire. It seems suitably fantasy-like if needs to be.

  64. The most ohayou of gozimasu’s, dude!

    My name is Chet, totally first of his name (righteous, right?), Master of the Waves, the Sandcrusted One, Bringer of Vibes.

    That pretty elf lady looks like she’s on a mission and I’m here for the ride. She looks kinda mad though. Like someone really feng’d her shui though… it’s alright though, Ol Chet is also a master of chill. She’s in good hands.

  67. Hi! From US
    I would go with Lady Amaryllis of the Northwest Emerald City.
    It’s a play on a MMRPG I had once and my favorite place to live.

  72. Hello! US and I would choose Cecily, The Importance of Being Earnest is one of my favorite plays. I, too, would likely be idealistic and excited over the mystery of something new.

  73. Hello from Bucks County, USA! I would pick Elizabeth, after my grandmom–she was a warm, powerful presence in my life growing up, and I admire her to this day.

  74. USA

    Staying with Miriam. It has always felt right to me.

    Thank you, HA & Mod R: I’m enjoying reading all the names, and comments. The comments at Ilona Andrews are almost always fun or/and interesting.

  76. Jo-Anne the artist of randomness and follower of dopamine!

    From the great white north of Canada! Cant wait for this book to come out!

  80. Hello,

    My home is in Oregon, but currently in the kingdom of Bahrain for the next year.

    For a new name, I choose Rosaline rhyming with Caroline.

  83. You sure know how to whet our appetites. I am eagerly awating release of the new book. I live in Canada.
    Thank you for all your work to entertain us!
    Duncan

  84. Delilah the Bold, Master Healer, Purveyor of Truth (whether you like it or not). Of the Frozen North Country known as Canada

  90. Hi from the Horde. I’m a Texan, through and through, so USA. My awesome moniker would be Ommatidia Dipteran.

  91. Hi! I’m from the USA. My name is Lux. My daughter just named her baby that and I think it would go great as a name in Maggie’s book!

  96. United States, and I (boringly) would use my own name… unless I was gifted a name by the new world. But even then, in my head it would still be my original name that I used.

  98. United States…. right in the middle of the country literally. Ya know what I’m going to be weird…that will be my name… Kansas. 😂

  99. I’m in the US!

    I’ve always fancied the name and the color Indigo so maybe that would be my new name? I’d name a daughter Indigo, except that our last name is already a color. Rats…
