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!

I go by Yo-yo when ordering food or making a reservation. If I got thrown into a book, it might become Yo-yo the Confused because I’m sure I would be.
1. I am from Singapore.
2. My name would be Ailin.
New Zealand
I’d go by Anastasia- has a nice ring to it and lots of diminutives.
USA
Lorien – because Im a Tolkien fan, and love autumn leaves.
P.S. I’m so looking forward to Maggie! I feel like I am living in those old Mervyn’s commercials… ‘open, open, open…’ But instead it’s ‘release, release, release…’
I would be Mae the most fortunate. (I have people I love, money for books, and relatively good health… fortunate!)

U.S.
US – I’m currently watching Schitt’s Creek, so I’m partial to the name Moira right now. I’ve always wanted something a little more distinctive than Hannah (I was one of four Hanna(h)s in school).
USA, and I kind of like the idea of combining my first and last names together, so Olivander it is!
USA
Copups
I’m from Canada and I think my name will be Joy or Gaea
USA
Akos Amun the White Falcon, the Hidden one; bearer of the amber crystal
I’m from the United States any the name I may choose could depend on which book I found myself dropped into, but recently Anatevka struck me as a beautiful name.
Thank you for the giveaway, excited to read Maggie’s adventures soon!!

I’m from the US, and I’d be Mikami. I heard it on a TV show and liked the sound of it.
I am in the USA
If I were in isekai’d into a novel, I would use my middle names. I really don’t get a chance to use thme enough. Lecray Elliott at your service.
US
I always loved the name Aerin, ever since reading the hero and the crown as a kid – it feels just fantasy adjacent enough. And while I’d love to be The Wise or The Clever, realistically, I’d probably be Aerin, The Perpetually Kerfuffled!
South Africa
Payal, Friend of the Pack
I’m in the USA and I’d go by my middle name, Elisabeth, which I love and never get to use. Also, my memory for names sucks so I’d likely forget to respond to a name I completely made up.

USA. Kip the Adventurer,loyal sidekick.

Hi, I’m from Cape Town, South Africa.
I would be P’ene of the Sakura
I’m from Canada. When I was in China, my Chinese name was LiShu, which translated as beautiful poetry, so I think I’ll be a fantasy lute-playing storyteller that’s always welcome in inns.

US. I’d be Lady Mara.
USA
If I was transported into an IA book I would be Ada, the quickly dying. Wouldn’t last a day. LOL
Wow! My RL name is Shelagh, so that already covers the extra letters and confusion. I’m from Scotland, and I would be a merc in any of Kate Daniels stories. My name would be Rotunda the Magnificent and I would – literally – crush my opponents with my lushness.
I’m from the USA.
My name would be Viv the Slightly Awry.
1. Australia
2. Gigi! Keeping it simple 😆
New Zealand- and I’d still go by Catherine. It’s a timeless classic and that way I don’t have to remember to respond to it 🤣
I’m in the US. I suppose I’ll go w the name I’ve been using for awhile in D&D, BG3 and ShadowDark: Taswynn Torevir. That way I’d at least look when someone calls my name…
Thanks HA and Mod. R!
Is anyone else wondering if our Lady, she who is Untouched by Sun, may have some vampire type thing going on? Not that there’s anything wrong w that!
UK
My name would be Summer, which I always thought was a lovely name. Knowing my luck, though, I’d get transported to a land where I’d die very messily (as per Guy Fleegman) before anyone thought to ask me my name.
Thank you for the giveaway, House Andrews – very much looking forward to Maggie’s release.
Hungary
fantasy name: Kalessin
(If you know, you know:)

My book name would be Catherine the Relentless, and given the choice I’d get sent to one of my favourite historical advanture books. Think Alexandre Dumas and Michel Zevaco.

Cassandra!
USA – if I got transported to a book, I’d want to start with my middle name so I actually recognize when people are talking to me while avoiding any accidental fae bargains. From there I’d add titles, so a few years in I’d be William of the Red Plains, Quick-Tempered, Defender of the Children & Master of Inventions.

I would like to be the Mad Stomper. I don’t really know why …. but it resonates with my mood lately.

I’m from the US, and would be Jenn, Squasher of Cones. My family knows 🙂 Looking forward to seeing more of Maggie!
I’m from Rheinbach, Germany. And please believe me, my name is Maggie. In full Margret Zavelberg. So my name nom de guerre in the book would be Maggie. And the book I’d be transported to is the Kate Daniels oder Innkeeper series.

Book name would be Bethany The Dauntless (I can only strive to live up to the title)
