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!

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.

Happy weekend and good luck!

  1. I’m in Texas, which thinks it’s a different country from the rest of the US, even though it’s not.
    My dragon name generator says I would be Ihtak, Hoarder of Books and Pillows, Third of Her Name, Petter of Puppies and Snuggler of Snakes.

  2. Entering from the USA, I’d keep my real name of Harmony it took me a while to grow into it and now I’d not want to give it up

  4. from the US. I’d probably go with something easy to remember but that no one in my home world would call me..like a middle name or nickname or something….

    Melinda She Who Doles Out Ripper Cushions….

  5. Entering from USA

    Jaymee, Queen of the Misfits (a name I had long time ago in a kingdom far, far away). Yeah, would probably get me in a lot of trouble. Oh, I guess my last name would be Trouble.

    Jaymee Trouble, Queen of the Misfits. No idea what book I’d be transported into, so there is more trouble on my head. Seems appropriate.

  6. Hello!
    I’m from the U.S.A.
    I am not very creative so I think my fictional name would be a variant of my real name. Let’s go with Amylia.
    Can’t wait for release day!

  7. I’m from the US!

    My name would be Jazmin. That feels very “fantasy” coded 😉

    So excited about this!!!!!!

  12. Hi! I’m in the US, and my name would be Jora Sten, Hunter of Pretty Rocks and Baker of Tasty Pies

  14. I’m in the UK. I have, obviously, preordered in hardback and digital, but I’m up for any chance to get hold of the book early! It’s months and months till March…well that’s what it feels like.

    My name would be ‘The Librarian’ …not exciting but I think it has a certain ring to it.

    So looking to this book coming out…and the next…and so on ad infinitum!

  15. I’m in the US!

    I think I’ll keep Stefanie. Imagine the universe portals me back home with my hunky love interest and now I have to explain why my name isn’t actually Aurelia. Talk about embarrassing…

  18. This is so exciting! I’m from the US.

    I feel like I would brand myself as Emma the Stupid cause I have a bad habit of taking on too much, especially when it comes to projects in grad school. Hopefully though, it would actually be something like Emma the Kind or Emma the Allknowing.

  19. I was going to say that I hope I get dropped into my favorite Kate’s Universe but then I thought about but I realized the Kinsmen Universe is on my mind.

    My name would be Irida.

    Using my knowledge of the Universe (like Maggie) I’d become a Cultural Attaché!! Whether I end up in a space opera setting or the passionate violent tropics of New Delphi, the author lords will decide!

  20. From western MA USA
    I think I would just stick with Erin, I’m in that stage of life where I hear mom, mom, MOM! Mom, mom, mom, I tend to tune a lot out but my actual name does get my attention!

  22. I’m in Iceland and I would be Dame Elva the Eccentric, Mistress of Mayhem and Herder of Cats.

  23. I’m Aurora and I live in California in the US! I think my name would be similar to Maggie’s but a bit different: Aurora the quickly dying! I’m not built for surviving a fantasy world! If I were to add a few extra titles they might be: consumer of chocolate, petter of puppies, and lover of libraries!

  25. I’m from the US.

    I would probably pick Kasta as my name. It was the name of one of my dnd characters in a campaign I use to play. Kasta is high valyrian (from GoT) and means green or blue. I chose it because of my character’s sparkling blue eyes.

    On a side note, now in a different campaign, I play a character named Catalina. She is an aasimar that can sprout spectral wings and is all about protecting her loved ones.

  26. The US

    I would probably go with something like Ruby or Kira – something short like Chris but a bit more fantasy world appropriate.

  27. Hi from California, USA 🙂

    (Which is undergoing a welcome rain and unwelcome Chill at the moment)

    I think I might go as Frangipani, a small white cat with five toes on its front paws and a habit of stealing morning tea.

  30. I’m from Canada and I would use a variant of my real name (Anne) like Annafel, as I use here, or Anara, which I’ve used in the past. Like Elisa, it would help me remember that it’s me!

  33. Entering from the USA.
    My name would be Mackenzie, at least if it was a place similar to our Earth. I’d go with Belgara if it was more like Middle Earth or somewhere our names stick out like a sore thumb.

  36. Hi, I’m from Canada. My name would be Azalea, because I think the name is pretty (the flower is pretty too).

  37. Huge HA fan from Canada here! 🇨🇦 ❤️

    People have always had problems with my name and going by “E” would open doors to easy, eh, or b/c/z/huh?.

    Calyia would be a cool name. And the spelling hopefully prevents mispronunciation😉. 🤞 🤞🤞

  38. 1. U.S.
    2. My name would be Winter. I get up to fabulous badassery with my sister Summer.

    p.s. Soggy Isles indeed! 😆

  41. I’m from Canada and I think my name would be Loic! I’d love to be something heroic but honestly I’d probably be a scribe or illumanist.

  42. Country: US
    Character name: Jade Mei-Lei
    (honoring my heritage with elements of my name in there and a play on words, cuz that’s what we love to do).

  43. Thank you for the giveaway!

    1- I’m from Canada!
    2- If I would be transported in another world, I would not want to forget where I came from and would keep part of my name… Maybe Linhmay/Mailinh?

  44. Stateside here (NY to narrow down a state)

    I would love to go with something romantic/Arthurian like Gwen/Guinevere.

  45. Hi :),
    Entering from Germany.
    My Name is Leonie and I quite like it so I think I would keep it.I would get rid of my last name which is terribly complicated.

  46. United States here!

    My name is Muna, but legally spelled Mona in my parents efforts to help me fit in. I feel like I’ve fought my whole life to have my name respected with at least a proper pronunciation (its four letters, I promise its not hard 😭), but I’ve been called everything from Monica, Luna, to Sara (how???). I had a boss once say that they’ll pronounce my name Mona, as spelled on my license, and if I didn’t like it I could go get it legally changed. I don’t think I could give up my name at this point hahaha

  47. Typing from Iowa, USA Catherine the Cautious. Lacking Maggie’s marvelous mind, I would need to tread carefully in this new and amazing kingdom. I am naming my sister ….Claire the Courageous. She is the one that all but forced me into the Ilona Andrews world years ago. I am forever grateful! Waiting for March and Arabella’s books!!

  51. Entering from Portland OR USA. I am the Kittenni Kat, Hoarder of Books and Cats, First of Their Name.

  53. I’m from the US.

    When I got my first email address many, many, many years ago I was Pandora.

    I would be Pandora, Keeper of Memories.

  56. In the currently damp with a hint of sun UK

    I’d be Fi’ona the Devourer of Knowledge, Keeper of the Cheese

  58. US, windy northeast ohio today

    when my daughter named my granddaughter 9 years ago, Gemma.. I had never heard of it. Like Emma with a G. Now I see it everywhere and always enjoy a book with a Gemma. Not sure I would want that as my name in a book but I would respond..

    When I was set to go to school, my mom had to explain that people would call me Michelle and that I wouldn’t be in trouble so I understand that’s my in trouble name. So surely not Michelle…..
    I didn’t pick to spell my name as Micki but once in a great while I find a Micki that even spells it right. So I’m going with that unless someone needs to shout, “Hey Micki” cause its not fine to blow your mind.

  60. I think I’d like to be called Momo actually, in a Japanese way, because it’s cute – and it would be a way to take it back, because in French elementary school, it’s not so cute. (France)

  61. Entering from Seattle, WA, USA.
    I’m going with my existing code name (ha): Ruby Stiletto, Badass Extraordinaire. 😉

  65. My real birth name is already fit for fantasy. I’ve yet to meet another Morag in real life, but I’ve encountered several fictional namesakes, including a Klingon, a dragon and multiple witches.

    I currently live in Germany.

  66. U.S.

    Reayorah – randomly made it up as a kid for game name! Can’t remember which game, but probably MapleStory.

  73. I am from Canada.

    My name would be Mahreezah, Keeper of the Menagerie (consisting only of racehorses and cats). I worship at the altar of Northern Dancer whenever Leonardo, the Chief Cat, gives me time off.

    (It’s the actual pronunciation of my name so I’m sort of boring? Nah. No Hoard Member can ever be boring.)

  75. I am from Florida in the USA and I like my name. Either Kelley or Ice, it rolls off the tongue. Most humans can pronounce it without any trouble at all and it’s pretty short.

  79. From the country Canada, here I be VespereX, follower of the Shiny Ball, Champion of the Feather Wand, Shredder of Paper.

  83. Greeting!

    Originally from Bosnia and now hailing from Greensboro NC, USA!

    *waving majesticly*

    – Helen of the Spears

  87. I’m physically here in the USA, but like to think of myself mentally in a galaxy far, far away. 🙂

    My name would be Moonlight

  89. Entering from Oklahoma, USA
    Sabine

    An ode to my favorite childhood fantasy author, Tamora Pierce’s Beka Cooper saga AND my current favorite LitRPG character (Eric Ugland’s Good Guys series) who didn’t give himself a last name when he went was transported to a new world

  91. 1) USA

    2) Eliza the not-quite-a-dimwit

    They would always underestimate me. Then when things work out right I could yell
    “See I’m not quite a dimwit aren’t I?”
    yelled with some weird mashup of a cockney accent and a Scottish one. Don’t know why, that’s just how it comes out.

  95. I’m from Bulgaria. My real name is Antoniya –– and I’ve always been called Antoniya. No pet name, no nick name, nothing. Every single Antoniya I’ve ever met was called Tony (it’s a gender-neutral name in our country) or Niya, or something… Not me.

    However I think of myself as Aya. When I was a kid I read a short story where that name was used. And I loved it! I don’t remember the story. I think it was about a horse but I’m not sure. That name though <3

    According to wikipedia Aya means:
    – sword is Old German
    – design, colorful or beautiful in Japanese
    – wonderful, amazing, miracle or verse in Arabic
    – to fly swiftly or bird in Hebrew
    – goodness, music, melody in Mongolian

    I think that the short story was about the times when our country was under Ottoman rule. And the name had some Turkish connections… In the Turkish mythology, Aya symbolizes the good soul. The benevolent angels that live in the sky are also called Ayas. The word comes from Ay, which means moon. And ayaçı means creative soul.

    So… I would LOVE to be Aya.

  96. Entering from Cypress, Texas USA. If I entered into this story, I would go as myself using my current nickname, Shannon.

  97. Entering from California, USA. As it is currently cookie season and I am going slightly (okay, maybe more than slightly…) insane, my name is: Cat, the Supreme Goddess of Cookie Chaos Coordination.
