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!

  6. 1. US
    2. I’d think I’d try to go by something short so I could spin it as a nickname to something more common to the world I end up in (once I figure that out which I doubt will be instantly). Something like Kit or Mae.

  7. Israel.
    I’d like to think I’d be called “Il-il, The Healer”, or even “Il-il the Stubborn”,
    but due to my out of shape status,and my impression from trying to hike with the kids, I’d probably be called “Mrs. Wait for me…” 😅.

  12. I, RenSha NadMikhiela of the city of Pollen humbly submit this request for Great Gimmees for the perusal of the Book Devouring Horde. May the Sorting Lord find favor in my writ.

  16. USA
    Adrianna the Ancient One

    Why? I have no idea, it’s just the first thing that popped in my head. 😁

  19. I’m from Norway, and if I was transported into a fantasy world, my name would be Malin the Cautious.

  20. I’m from the US. If I could choose, I’d be Quinn the Resilient but in reality…it’d be most likely Darn it Deb

  23. Ooh, fantasy names! Made a whole lot of these at some point. i’m originally from Finland, although live currently in the US (like House Andrews) so I should be entered into the US giveaway.

    I like to play Baldur’s Gate. As you may know, it happens in Faerun. My protagonist is often called Yaya, especially if she’s a wild mage and elven. I’d take that in a fantasy world. No last name. (OH, and yes, I HAVE read the book of the Yaya sisterhood.)

  27. United States
    Dath of House Dearsahd, Queen’s Champion, Lady of the Opaline Daggers, Rose of the Second Self

  28. Hi!

    1. Canada
    2. Yarrow Flintspar ( it’s my character name for my Koriko sRPG campaign 😁)

    Thanks!

  30. I’m in Texas, USA. I always wanted to use the name Melisandra (so hopefully I wouldn’t wake up in some super modern sci-fi book).

  33. Germany and my name would be Ushinatta which means lost in Japanese (cause that’s what I would be without my loved ones)

  38. Sir Thacklemore Westingheimer of the Brown Bear Pass of the Seventh Lake
    Seventeenth of her name
    United States 🙂

  42. I am from the United States. My name would be Czarina Kerbytha the Kind but Krazy if You Mess with Me or My Family Which Includes my FurBaby.

  44. USA
    Mershka MacRilyn – Daughter of the Blade

    I instructed AI to use my name and given it a Russian/Scottish twist (I’ve Russian heritage on my paternal grandmother’s side of the family and Scottish on my paternal grandfather’s side.) I also told it to give me Irish and Scottish twists since I’m British/Irish on my maternal side of the family, but liked the Russian/Scottish one the most. Yep I’m 100% mutt.

  45. From the US

    Aeloria Thornveil

    Aeloria – symbol of strength, hope and perseverance

    Thornveil – sanctuary that is both beautiful and dangerous 😉

  54. USA – although with my vision issues I’d prefer an ARC so I can fiddle with the font sizes & flip the colors.

    Tamberlin would be my name as it’s already not my legal and yet still my own. Yea for historical reenactment & gaming 😆

  55. Germany

    As my online name is Maggie and the choosing is inspired by her, I would probably also go by that. Maybe change it a little bit if the world calls for that.

  56. High Lady Chelyssa Storm-Forged,
    The Chalant,
    Politely Relentless, Reasonable — but Firm,
    Mother of the Tiny Dragon Princess and the Golden Floofs.

    USA

  62. From the US up near Canada watching the snow fall.

    Old Grump. Retiring but not shy. Heart of gold? Sure kid.

  64. U SA, Florida, currently. it varies. I always loved the name Victoria Holt. it was a pen name of a historical romance writer. So given the option, I’d be Victoria.

  65. I’m from the US. Honestly, I’d keep my name. There are not enough Cindy’s in fiction, and when there are, they are complete buttheads or Cindy Brady’s and that makes me crazy.

  67. I am from the US. I would choose the name Cordelia because that’s what Anne of Green Gables would choose were she real and not already in a book. Meta. Also, Anne is from Canada. Cordelia is from England.

  69. I’m from the U.S.

    My name would be The Inexorable Tantadorable Queen of the Far Reaching Abyss

    (This is my only chance to become royalty).

  72. Slovenia. Zdravo 🙂 i would probably go with Iris – what my mom wanted to name me but my dad did not cave.

  75. Canada
    Sal
    I will stick with my nickname. I would love to fall into the world of the Innkeepers. I don’t think I could be an innkeeper but rather I would travel the worlds with my cat and horse sidekicks.

  76. 1. USA
    2. Bekha the Unyielding or Ryvka of the Drowned Coast. Competent, dangerous, with a complicated backstory and a knife she’s not afraid to use.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

  77. From the USA

    My name is Kathleen, or Kat. If I were in a fantasy story I think it would stay the same. Maybe a different nickname but I’m not creative enough to come up with something that isn’t an existing name

  82. 1. US
    2. Teri-just call me Teri
    And I have ALWAYS said I would live to live in the Kate Daniels world (and be her)

    If I am choose my, please give to another.
    Also Mod R- you are hilarious

    Thank you House Andrew for every you do. In my personal opinion, you do way more than necessary for the BDH.

  84. I’m from the US. If I were transported into any book I would probably just keep my name Rae. Otherwise I would get confused and not know people are talking to me (which would really mess up the plot).

  90. I’m in the U.S. and my book name would be Linh (my daughter’s middle name) Vietnamese in origin but easily pronounced 😉

  97. I’m from the USA. My name would be Library Goddess, Guardian of books and friend to all readers!

  98. I am from the United States of America (hoping someday we lean more heavily on the United part)

    My name would be Tamara the truthsayer.

    Note: I got an error message when posting so I don’t mean to duplicate the submission)

  103. 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.

  104. 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!

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

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

  109. 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!)

  112. I’m from United States.

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

  114. 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.

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

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

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

  124. 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!

  127. 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.

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

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

  132. 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.

  133. 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.

  138. 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!

  144. 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 🤣

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

  151. 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 🙂 .

  153. 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)

  154. 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.

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

  158. 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!

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

  162. 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.

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

  164. 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.

  167. 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.

  172. 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.

  173. 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.

  174. 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.

  176. 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!

  180. 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.

  183. 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

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

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

  191. 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!

  196. 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.

  198. 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. 😂

  199. 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…

  203. Hello, in the mundane world, I am from the United States. However, my name should Kalena the Serene from the Misty Isles.

  205. I am from the U.S.A.
    My name would be Cyrilla as a nod to Cirilla in The Witcher and also so people could yell “Hey, Cyri!” at me. Hopefully I would have answers. 🙂

  208. I am from Canada 🇨🇦 , and if I could choose any name and go to that book world I would be Daine Salmalin (if you know, you know 😉)

  209. I would be Phelleps. It keeps the name alive when there is no one to pass it on to.
    I live in the United States and always have .

  212. Good morning,

    I’m Kelly from the USA. I a fantasy book, I would be Kelly because it is Gaelic for Warrior!

    I love all your books!

    Thanks

  216. Maryland, USA

    I do so enjoy being a part of the IA universe, but I cannot resist the urge to be:

    Georgiana Darcy, the accomplished and lovely young sister of Mr. Darcy in Jane Austen world.

  219. I live in the United States. What name you would find me using if you met me in a book would depend on where you find me in the book. Syn (short for Syntyche) lives in an old farmhouse in the forest where the trees grew back wild. Asche (Aschenputtel) lives over a small library guarding books.

  227. In the USA.

    Abrixa – close to my real name, still short enough to be memorable, the real question is whether the x is pronounced hard or soft

  228. 1. USA
    2. I would love to drop in on the Baylor’s as Grandma Frieda. Love her sense of fun and adventure. She is the rock the Baylor kids go to for everything. She’s hysterically funny too.

  230. my name would be Scary Mary, terror of the East. See her and tremble in fear of the power of her words to cut you down to size.

    I am in the US

  231. 1. USA

    2. Um…so it’s already taken, but, can I just be Kate Daniels, funny, feisty, jaded, yet hopeful with all the perks of being the Beast Lord’s Lover …

  235. I’d be Granny Ree, maker of potions and tinctures and giver of no-nonsense advice. I’m from the U.S.

  240. I’m from Singapore! I’d probably stick to my own name, and have my surname changed from “Koh”, to the transliteration “Xu”. So it would ultimately be “Xu Jing Ting”. That would be welcomed change.

  255. Hailing from the United States, you may address me as Emm, the Undecided. (Unless I change my mind again.)

  256. I’m from the US. The book I finished most recently was Rise of the Living Forge 5. If I suddenly found myself in that world, I’d go by something like Kyla. No last name. They don’t seem to be a thing there.

  257. I’m in the US. And I would probably just use my name, Cassie. Otherwise I’d be the person who gives a fake name and forgets to answer to it lol

  259. I live in the United States. I’m taking an AI class, so I asked chatGPT what name it would choose if it was in the Innkeeper series. It chose: Astrael Meridian. I asked Claude AI, and it said: Caldwell or Caldwell the Chronicler. I would choose Lucien Hunt, a relative of Gertude Hunt’s previous innkeeper.

  261. 1. United States
    2. Kate of the Unstitched (the amount of time I spend pulling cross stitch stitches out…)

  266. I’m in the U.S. 🙂 Some favorite names I’ve used for my characters in video games are Vivienne, Astrid, or Leila (lay-luh), so it would probably be one of those.

  267. USA
    Currently listening to the latest In Death novel. If I found myself transported to that world, I’d choose the name Joy Christiano, and I’d be an Italian jewel thief. The kind that never gets caught. ☺️

  269. I am from Canada.

    My fantasy name would be Ariadne. It’s my dogs name, but we call her Ria for short. 🙂

  270. I live in the USA. If I were transported into a book, I’d go by Logan. I don’t believe in waiting to be isekai’ed to be happy with my name, so I started going by Logan a few years ago and it’s been great.

  273. In the US. Sadly, in spite of more ambitious aspirations, I have always concluded that my most likely character in a fantasy would be Bombur!

  275. United States
    Merlin, the name has so much myth and mystery to it. They may have been entirely fictional but who knows. And it doesn’t matter at this point, the mystery is there

  279. United States reader
    My name would be Hari (I’d land in Damar, from Robin McKinley’s -The Blue Sword-).

  282. I am in the USA. My book name would be Ione, after my great grandmother,

    Thank you for all you do for the Horde!

  291. I’m in the US. I would keep my own name (Linden) because I like it and it already sounds fantasy-ish.

  297. I’m from the US.
    I would likely be a side character, with no name, that is mentioned briefly, due to my wholly average qualities as a human 😂

  301. USA
    Katerina, maybe? I’d probably try to blend into whatever society I was in; my favorite books are about a 8 way tie… but I’ve gone by quite a few names in my life. They all sound weird till you get used to them.

  306. I live in the USA. My name, if I were transported into a book? Skella Dementhinsbane of Painted Stone.

  309. Howdy from here in Texas
    My name is Abby Gale, Dorothy’s older sister. We don’t get as many tornadoes as they do in Kansas.
    I’ve been using that as my online name for a very long time.

  312. USA
    Mary Margerine, you know, that woman who says she actually prefers butter? and she’s always reading something. Yeah, she’s at the library every other week — she checks out all kinds of books. She tells us reading is her superpower, and we believe her.

  313. I currently live in the US. But this could change.

    Emeline. My name would be Emiline because it is a brave and beautiful name.

  315. US
    I’ve always liked the name Hannah. I think it would depend on where I landed and if I needed to choose a name or go with whatever made the most sense in that story/environment.

  318. United States

    Raylora Rattlestorm Night- Sutra of the Binding Quiet. Keeper of secrets and solitude. Collector of stories and lore. Healer of war worn muscles and overstimulated minds.

  325. United States! I made up the name Vaoni when I was a teenager so I’d go by Vaoni Vadal as a nod to one of my favorite characters ever (also alliteration rocks).

  331. I’m from the US. My name, if transported into a fantasy book, would be Eolaurza. Because, well, why not?

    • I’m in the US.

      My name would be Miss Elizabeth Bennett, because some things cannot be improved upon. 😉

  335. USA
    Nyyra (The name of my very first role played character resulting in all names following having the double “y”)

  337. I’m in the US and the first thing that comes to mind for a name is something simple like Ann (no last name or last name related to my job like Horse)

  342. I’m in the United States. The PNW to be exact. If I was transported into a book world, I would become Lissa the Grieving. It’s just me and my daughter and leaving her behind would break me.

  348. Oh exciting!.

    I am from Canada and I think I would probably end up using my own name Julene, if I were transported to a world in a book. No matter if I would like to think of something else. I know me, and I think that would be the case.

    Thank you for the opportunity to win a copy of Kingdom. 🙂

  355. I’m from the US and if I found myself placed into a book, my character name would be NaGem (nuh-jem). It’s just Megan but backwards because I’m only three sips into coffee right now. I’m ignoring chemistry for the time being since Na is calcium so this would make me a calcium gem…. I’ll work on it.

  356. USA

    Jennitrix, the tireless, finder of Lost Objects, keeper of The One Calendar, master of Big Feelings, healer of Scrapes, vanquisher of Chaos and Deadlines. Kneel before me and tremble!!!

  357. USA

    My name would be Sigrid, the Viking Soprano. I just like the name Sigrid and have been using vikingsoprano online for a very long time. I am a singer in real life, so my power would have to be something to do with that, maybe beguiling people when I sing, or being an animal mage via singing like Cornelius (that would be fun!)
    Obviously, I’m thinking about the HL universe lol so I would like to be transported to that parallel universe

  359. USA

    As someone from a long line of “intimidating” women, i.e. competitive and competent women, if transported into a book I would start calling myself “La Temida,” The Feared One, and develop a reputation to match!

  361. Hi, I’m in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. I would go by Man’da Tes ‘Fai. my married name basically, but with apostrophes so there are pauses. I don’t think I would respond if it was close to Amanda or Mandy and I really love my husband’s last name, Tesfay. It means, “His Hope”.

  363. I would be called Berkly. This is a running joke because people get my name wrong often. I’m from the US. Now I have to go rescue my cat from the snow. If people think California is all palm trees and beaches, I’ve got a snow shovel with their name on it.

  364. I am from the United States!

    My name would be Eidoj Mmal, which is my name backwards! I used to play with that in hs, and my maiden name backwards was Nrodnekceh!

  377. As my name has already had a “Y” inserted into it, I would keep it the same, Lauryn. I would do this for any book world, but for this I’ll use the Hidden Legacy world from your own series. Thank you!

  391. I live in Bremen, Northern Germany ( next to Hamburg) .
    my Name in a book :
    Randalke, Lady with the the deadly gaze

  401. OMG ~ I would love love love to win win win!! LOL
    Im in S Florida USA!! Roberta means bright/shining! My name would be Robeira or Roberelle

  402. USA.
    Rhiannon (always loved the name but gave birth to boys and it didn’t suit either of them)

  403. USA! My name would be Evelyn but nickname would be Little Ghost due to being pale, quiet, and unassuming.

    As in, after getting stepped on (again) “Oh, sorry. Didn’t see you there Little Ghost.”

  404. I’m from the USA and if I were transported into the Inn Keeper Series I would be Graybaby Kayaker Extrodinaire.

  405. 1. Canada.
    2. Gyslain.
    If I could get into any book it would have to be the Wandering Inn by Pirateaba. I love your worlds but I have read the Wandering Inn religiously and I would love to live in that world. I would keep my name, it’s weird enough already.

  407. 1. USA
    2. Jongsi. (My parents gave me both an English and Chinese name, but I never get to use my Chinese name since it’s not my legal name. Would love to embrace that name if I was transported into a book.)

  409. Really looking forward to this new fantasy series from you both. Thank you for sharing your talents.
    I am USA – Oregon
    My fantasy character name would be Rae (short for Aurora)

  413. USA
    I would totally be presumptuous and call myself Lady F.; and if/when prodded exceedingly for what “F” stands for, unleash a long, “The Lady Farandelle Halan Un’Domierre”, with a Tremaine worthy sneer and head tilt as I turned away.

  414. US
    Siobhan –

    Celtic/Gaelic (& who wouldn’t want a little Druid in them?,) always thought it was so pretty when pronounced correctly, and I am of Scottish descent. The Edge book series would be my place to visit – because I think the people don’t seem super different from the gorgeous western NC Southern Appalachians, where I am from.

  416. Hello from Chile! My name is Sandy, though I’d choose something like Sandryelle Valentti — it sounds so fae and full of character. I’ve already pre-ordered my copy, but if I win, I’d be able to read it an entire month in advance!

  418. USA. Elowen Thorne: the kind of legend who doesn’t need a sword to command a room – though I carry one anyway, just in case.

  419. FRANCE
    My name will be Nella Wil’ Sokal
    Nella as the first name because it’s my grandma’s whom I deeply loved,
    Wil’ because a fantasy series I really loved when I was young, written by Pierre Bottero, used this type of particule (Gil’, Til’, Sil’…). Bjorn Wil’ Wayard was an underestimated character, a knight very clumsy, but funny and extremely loyal.
    Sokal because of Benoit Sokal, a famous comic designer, who helped draw the concept behind Syberia an amazing video game.
    Of course I would like to be reincarnated in one of your books! Preferably in the world of Hidden Legacy which is a tad less violent (because I would to survive!)
    Thank you for everything, I can’t wait to read the story of Maggie!
    P.S. sorry for my mistakes, English is not my language

  422. Omg at last an international giveaway!
    Thank you so much!
    Im from Japan
    and the name I would like if transported to a book would be Yui

  423. I’m from the US .
    My name Teia would stay the same. My parents liked the name Tia from the movie return from witch mountain. They say they got the spelling from the movie and the book. But every book and movie from 1978 that I’ve looked at the spelling is Tia. I hated the name as a child and teen. But as time went on I grew into my name. It’s a lot of fun to tease the parents and we all have such a great sense of humor and a love for books! thank you for this opportunity.

  429. 1. I was born in the US. My parents immigrated here from Russia in 88’ and me and my brother were born here.

    2. I wish I was a creative writer, life would be so fun! Alas, I live through books for a reason, I think id just go by Natalya, it’s my technically my name but I had it removed when I got married. It would be fun to actually go by it for a change. I would be transported into ANY of your books. I’ve reread every series so many times!

  435. I live in the US. My first name sounds like it is fake anyway so I guess I would stick with Joy. (I’m so NOT creative today.)

  439. USA

    Anna, it is a version of my name I would respond to and is common in many Earth languages (not sure about other worlds) so it wouldn’t stand out. Unlike me anyway.

  440. I’m from the USA.
    I’d pick Barbara as a new name, as it means “stranger,” or “foreigner.” It may be a bit too on the nose, but my family does enjoy word games . . .

  441. New Zealand
    Tallulah Northnight
    I was Blousey Brown in Bugsy Malone when I was 11. I really wanted to be Tallulah, even 40 years later, so here we are. Northnight for a touch of the romantic and mysterious, which is of course, totally at odds with the name Tallulah but it sounds good to me!

  443. USA
    I need this book!

    signed,

    D’lyzl, first of her name, and assessor of teas
    Lady of the Dusty Plains

  448. Yay!! So excited for this book. Can see myself dying first, I wouldn’t even fight!! I’m in Oklahoma City, USA and my name would be Phil “Dangwe raenda mberi”. In Shona this means the first born has gone ahead. No cap in my game.

  449. Wooho for an international giveaway!
    I’m from Germany.
    The name would probably be something like Lady Caty the horder of books. Or Lady Katharina the Librarian? A whole new world with new books to collect sounds awesome!
    I am soooo looking forward to This Kingdom.

  451. USA.
    I am the worst at picking out names!🤪 It took me to right until my due date and lots of stress to name my 2 kiddos.
    I would choose Aisling Beithe, meaning “dream of a birch tree” in gaelic

  452. I would love to get a copy, in any format!
    I am in The United States of America, in the free state of California, and my (new) name is K’Zintly of the Desert, first of her name.

  453. 1) USA
    2) This is my kyrptonite … thinking up names … so this is horrible
    BUT Trevor I guess just cuz it makes me laugh.

  454. United States, Elizabeth Margaret Cleves, when submerged in the SCA that’s Lady Elizabeth, but I generally don’t like using titles, so not necessary, tho occasionally useful. bwahahahaha!

  455. I’m currently living in Brussels, Belgium!
    My name would be Sophie the Red
    Because I have red hair and love red wine.

    • Thank you for running this giveaway and I very much enjoy the blog!
      I am in the US. And I would probably use Dominica, grounding me to the situation but using a different version of my name to differentiate it.

  461. I’m originally from Romania, but I’ve lived in lovely Scotland for many, many years. That in itself feels like isekai. And re-imagining myself in a book IS my favourite hobby, but I’m always a new character, the one no one saw coming. And my name is always Mirai, which means ‘the future’ in Japanese, because I always know how it all turns out. Yeeey, this was so fun! 😊

  462. From the US
    My fantasy name would be Kialli, from one of my (other!) favorite authors. I shouldn’t admit that I have others, but here we are

  464. I’m from Switzerland. Not sure what book I’d want to be transported into (like most of the House Andrews books, many of the series I read are great to read, but terrible to live in). Maybe the Elantra series by Michelle Sagara? For the name, I’d probably go for something like Tanyra Mirielle or Mireille. Somewhat close enough to my real name, but sort of fits with the in-world naming scheme. No title though. There’s no way I could give myself a title and keep a straight face while someone calls me that.

  466. USA, Florida to pinpoint it. Don’t hold that against me.
    I would love to have a physical book. I buy them for my daughter as they’re too heavy for my hands.
    My name would be Eldreth.

    • Hey! I wanted to the unhinged, but you beat me to punch!

      Wait! I know! I shall be Iris the Exasperating! We’ll team up and be and together be Unstoppable!

      from Connecticut, USA

      *waves to future partner in driving the Horde’s enemies insane*

  469. USA, New Mexico to be more precise
    Rebecca the Tired because I am exhausted 😩
    and I definitely would love to be a dragon rider!

    • USA, and I think I would want to fall into the Garth Nix books Abhorsen and the characters all have an EL at the end of there names but I’d keep my own name.

  476. España
    elegiría el nombre de mi hija, Alba, que significa primera luz del día.
    gracias como siempre por todo!

  477. USA

    If I recieve the book, I will gift it to my friend with a great name. Stephanie (Steph)
    I love your books but because of old eyes and space I stick to e-books from Amazon so everything is in one library for the old memory.

  478. United States, Oregon
    My name would be Kaja. According to the internet, in Polish it means Princess of the Gods. 😊

  479. 1. Canada, ye old land of maple syrup

    2. Oo, perhaps the Lady of the Knack? I’m sure I’d try to tinker around and make some sort of mechanical wonder reminiscent of my old home.

  482. Ahh!!! So excited.

    USA 🙂

    Laurel the Creator, Lady of the Alabaster Hills, Conqueror of the Valley of Yarn

  488. Greetings and Salutations: I am from the USA.
    The name “She who Runs With Horses” would be fun, since I am a horse in Chinese Astrology. The possibility of also being a shapechanger would be welcome.
    Thank you, so much. Signe

    My name forthwith is Indegaluro!

    A bookish witch living on Discworld in the hills with a small town, somewhat nearby. And Terry Pratchett is writing my biography.

  498. Lisa from California, USA

    My character’s name is Adva. It means “seven” in Turkish. Yes, there’s a story there, but I’ll tell it properly once I retire. 🙂

  500. 1) USA

    2) Veladra the Cunning, Master Scheduler, Toddler Whisperer, Blade of the Just, Wind rider, Dragon Tamer, and Subduer of Chimeras, First of her name.
