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!
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!

2. On the one hand, I’d like to keep my own name, Anastasia, like Maggie did. On the other hand, though, I’m not sure if this name would sound unfamiliar to the people of the (fantasy) universe I would fall into so an alternative could be Isabelle/Belle/Elle because it can be both formal and simple and, therefore, used for various purposes and in different contexts.
Hello. I’m from Mexico and I would like the name Hamayel.

Hello! I am from the great state of Washington.
I like my name (Malina), but I also have a fondness for the name Ren (Seren) Argentum, as seen in my numerous replays of RPGs like Baldur’s Gate 3. (I have to make sure I get all the good outcomes before the end!)

2. For a fantasy setting, Cecilia or Cecily, of the Silver Branch.
For the KD world, since I’m re-listening to Wilmington years, I think it’d be fun to choose a pseudonym or let my name be shaped by the changing times, as Ghastek’s and Keelan’s were shaped.
