The Facebook fan group recently had a lot of fun speculating over the possible title of the second Maggie the Undying book.
Ilona confirmed in the comments that the title will follow this format:
This REDACTED Will Not REDACTED Me
Two blanks to fill and one challenge for the blog comment section!
Fill in the blanks and leave your title in the comments. Serious guesses, ridiculous guesses, ominous guesses, and titles that would make Steve proud and the editors concerned – all are welcome in the comments.
This is Only a Horde Game
House Andrews and Tor, the publishers, have decided the actual title through official publishing processes. It will be announced publicly at the right time. Nothing suggested here will become the title because it attracts the most chalant support or is repeatedly submitted in ALL CAPS. Ahem.
But even if we don’t get to name the book, we are still padding our Horde marketing CV! Before the final Hidden Legacy title was announced as Ruby Fever, we knew it would follow the gemstone + fire word formula. The BDH rose magnificently to the guess challenge and produced such enduring classical suggestions as:
- Pearlescent Phlogiston
- Turquoise Twinkles
- Chrysoberyl Conflagration
- Lapis Lazispalooza
Shockingly, none of these has been claimed by another author yet, but we’ll keep trying. Interested publishing professionals may contact the Horde through its official accounts. Serious offers and mango cupcakes-based royalties only.
In the meantime, give us your best suggestions for Maggie 2!
This Realm will not Reject Me

Serious guess: This Crown Will Not Suppress Me. (third book: This War Will Not End Me)
Ridiculous guess: 1) This Soap Will Not Wash Me, 2) This Duke Will Not Win Me, 3) This Tea Will Not Burn Me, 4) This Fish Will Not Slime Me
This is so much fun. 🙂
This Brunch will not Defeat me. The main storyline is all about a very large brunch buffet and someone determined to get their money’s worth.
😂
This magic will not bite me,
This fire will not burn me,
This Inn will not host me,
This edge will not cut me
👏👏👏 the REACH!
+1 to infinity
This Slippery Floor Will Not Defenestrate Me
This Dushegub Will Not Devour me.
+1
Hmmm I immediately thought “This Dukedom will not Slay me”, hoping we’ll read more about a certain Duke!
This World Will Not Remove Me
😁
I was leaning toward “This Horde will not Haunt Me,” but that like Maggie says to Arvel, “…that dursan flew long ago.”
This Castle will not break me
or
This teenager will be the end of me…
This bar will not serve me.
(because you just know there’s a story there… 😉
This Power Will Not End Me
This World Will Not Weaken Me
This Chaos Will Not Thwart Me
This Magic Will Not Defeat Me.
A bit hard to determine what Maggie was being whisked away to. I also thought of Prison instead of magic.
This obsession will not own me
I just thought of another one:
This Demesne Will Not Deter Me
This Demesne Will Not Defeat Me
THIS MAGIC WILL NOT CHANGE ME
+1
Ooh, that was my serious guess too!
This Empire Will Not Stop Me
This Dursan Will Not Defecate Me
This Duke will not Devour Me
This Defender will not Defeat Me
This Sovereign will not Subdue Me
This Empire will not Enthrall Me
This Empire Will Not End Me
For the third book:
This Kingdom will not Crown Me
Or,
This Continent will not Crown Me
Mod R and others baking in the heat, I hear you. It is 103F /36.44C is southern Arizona today…. But it’s a dry heat, which really does make a difference, I have a shaded porch to stay under while my pups do their business, and I have very efficient air conditioning in both my home and car. I realize that is not true for much of Europe. Drinks lots of non-caffeinated beverages, no alcohol! And re-dampen damp washcloths on your neck or wrists once they warm up to your temp. I hope your new place is not too hot; go to a
Library , movie, or somewhere with air conditioning during the hottest parts of the day if possible.
This Chapter Will Not End Me!
This knowledge will not define me
These houses will not control me
This Story Will Not Stop Me
I say as I put all my responsibilities on hold so that I can read all the books
I think this one has serious potential.
mine are similar to some I’ve seen above:
This Duke will not Defeat me was the first thought.
This Plan will not Plague me
This Fool will not Finish me
This Hell will not Hinder me
that is all for now
This Empire Will Not Execute Me
This Sequel Will Not Slay Me
The Horde Will Not Control Me
🤣
This pasta will not bloat me!
The wait for this sequel, will mot break me.
This Dragon Will Not Consume M**slurp!**
This Story Will Not End Me
this soap will not clean me
This egotistical bastard will not sue me.
This BOATY will not McBOATFACE me.
This beast will not drop me
This Soap Will Not Wash Me

The Stelka Sleeps Tonight
That’s it, I need to (re)reread it for ideas!
This Kingdom Will Not Keep Me.
Love

This CALAMITY Will Not Mark Me
This Kingdom Will Not Conquer Me
Honestly, this post will not scare me.
This Drezmur Will Not Drain Me
My brain immediately filled in the blanks as ‘This fella will not f**k me’ and i tried to come up with other guesses by my brain just keeps repeating this one 🙈🙈🙈
Its obviously wrong both as a title & story wise. After the many asian novel tropes & references in the first book it would be a great betrayal if Everard doesn’t get to princess carry a sleep deprived Maggie to breakfast whilst she blushes & internally curses his military grade stamina 🤣
This Diaper Will Not Defeat Me
This Naptime Will Not Neutralize Me
This Teenager Will Not Tyrannize Me
This Cat Will Not Knead Me
This Housekeeping Will Not Hurt Me
This Laundry Will Not Levitate Me
This Lunch Will Not Make Itself for Me (sadly)
Can you feel my mom vibes, haha
This journey will not end me
It’s got to have alliteration…
We have “this Kingdom will not Kill Me” so something like…
This Empire will not End Me
This World will not Win Me
This Lord will not Love Me
This Duke will not Deny Me
This Mage will not Murder Me
This Story will not Save Me
This World will not Want Me
Kudos on the: This Story will not Save Me!
The Empire one sounds plausible
This MAGIC will not MURDER me
-or-
This Duke will not Seduce/Marry me
This Bureaucracy will not Befuddle me
This Empire will not Engage With me
this story will not stop me, or best me.
This mage will not defeat me.
This Monster Will Not Move Me
or we could double down on the soap puns with This Lie Will Not Burn Me. 🥁
😂
The Book Will Not Complete Me
A couple more:
The Authors Will Not Consume Me
The Horde Will Not Out-Guess Me
This “redaction” will not REDACT me!
This REDDITOR will not TROLL me!
An evil wizard summons an enemy from Maggie’s own world… And gets the person whom Maggie always argued with, online. Their power? They know exactly what to say to make anyone insanely angry.
This villian will not vanquish me
+1
This Family Will Not Follow Me
But seriously I love all the fun and creative responses I’ve seen.
Go Horde!
This Light will not Reveal me!
this book will not be the last one for me
amen to that!
This Krakenpot Will Not Kaput Me
This Family Will Not Fail Me
This cliffhanger will not consume me
(it does)
Serious
This world will not change me
Funny
This soap will not bankrupt me
This man will not kidnap me
Entirely unserious:
This Duke Will Not Distract Me a.k.a.
This Sexiness Will Not Sidetrack Me
This Timeline Will Not Discombobulate Me
This Sequel Will Not Satisfy Me (because we are book devouring)
Chrysoberyl Conflagration? That’s just too good. You guys should write a book just to fit that title.
Just for team facts be damned:
These Facts Will Not Deter Me
😂😂😂
Bazzra, Bazzra, Bazzra
Maggie 2 – This Empire Will Not Destroy Me
Maggie 3 – This Realm Will Not End Me
This Battle Will Not Break Me
Thanks for the fun!

This City Will Not Change Me
I mean maybe it already has but Maggie has stayed true to her values.
This weirdass magician dude will not imprison me
This Villain Will Not Break Me
this pigeon will not defeat me … 😀 (you did say not serious guesses was ok too)
This cat will not cuddle me
(The story of my life)
YES! I have one of those. So frustrating.
