This *REDACTED* Will Not *REDACT* Me

Blog, Fun, Maggie POST A COMMENT by

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!

Leave your title ideas in the comments. Serious guesses, ridiculous guesses, ominous guesses, ideas 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!

  4. Just out of curiosity, what happens in the unlikely event someone actually guesses correctly? 😋

  6. – this knight will not marry me
    – this death will not stop me
    – this soap will not enrich me
    – this knowledge will not define me

  8. “This Fate Will Not Devour Me” (Was tempted to put horde as a joke but I don’t want to jinx us haha)

  13. From MMC POV. I dont want to say his name to avoid spoiling others. Maybe one day in a distant future we will get his POV. 😃

    This Damsel Will Not Distress Me

  14. It’s me, just sitting here re-reading Sweep of the Blade for the umpteenth time and being melancholy about the abandonment of Klaus DeMille. Will we ever find out why the ad hals are being corrupted? Are Klaus, Maud and Dina’s parents dead? Will we ever get a mug with Arland Krahr on it? I just know that little Helen is destined for great things.

    • I believe at some point in the near future, we are to get The Marriage Book. I’m almost sure ModR and the AL promised.

      And This Promise will not Pain Me.

  15. This Blood Will Not Bind Me

    But also…

    This Phyalctery Will Not Phase Me! ✨️

    This Wiggle-sticking Will Not Whammy Me! 🪄

  17. This Numbnuts will not break me?
    This Control Freak will not Marry me?
    This book’s plot will not define me?

  18. OK, serious thinking ahead… watch out!

    Seriously Hordely P*tient Title:
    This Power Will Not Corrupt Me

    Amusing science-y title?
    This Quantum Realm Will Not Entangle Me (Maggie The Undying Physicist)

    Dog’s and/or Cat’s glitter title:
    This Hair Will Not Choke Me
    This Tail Will Not Trip Me
    This Glaring Eye Will Not Unnerve Me

    Dr. Demento-y title:
    This Banjo Will Not Pick Me
    This Piano Will Not Man Me
    This Boss Will Not Run Me

    Innkeeper Chronicles-ish title(s):
    Barsa, Barsa, Barsa, Barsa, Barsa, Barsa! (This Barsa Will Not Barsa Me — [excessively wavy jazz hands])
    This Werewolf Will Not Eat Me — Maggie The Undying Romantic
    This Vampire Will Not Bite Me — Maggie The Undying Optimist
    This Quillonian Will Not Cook Me — Maggie The Undying Sous Chef
    This Empress Will Not Dare Me — Maggie The Undying Innkeeper

    Kait Daniels-ish title: (Maggie The Undying Immortal)
    This Kitty Will NOT Snuggle Me — “You’re a fool, Your Furriness.”

    Hidden Legacy-ish title: (Maggie The Undying Prime)
    This Prime Will Not Break Me — “Eat dirt and die, Mad Rogan.”

    The Inheritance-ish title(s): (Maggie The Undying DeBRA)
    This Breach Will Not Trap Me
    This Combat Talent Will Not Betray Me

    I have more ideas, but I probably need to rein them in a little…

    Cheers and “Barsa, barsa!”

  20. I think I have a decent guess. This Kidnapping Will Not Derail Me! Maggie still has shit that needs to be done. You know she will find a way.

  22. I must say that the Horde is very clever!!! I was very impressed with the entries 🙂

    So mine is:

    This wait (for the next book) will not drive me to distraction (or at least I need to keep telling myself that!)

    Apologies if it has already been entered…

  23. My serious guess is This Magic Will Not Change Me.

    But obviously it SHOULD be This Alphahole Will Not Bamboozle Me.

  24. This Kingdom Will Not Defeat Me

    -or-

    This Sambokat Will Not Tempt Me
    … who am I kidding. It will always tempt me.

  26. This Bastard Will Not Marry Me
    (only submitted because we’ve been getting Solentine snippets)

    or my favorite:
    This Author Will Not Spoiler Me

  27. I hope no one else posted this one. I was trying to read through them all but there is a lot. lol

    This Book will not emotionally destroy me.

  28. Just got this in my inbox, from a favorite author of mine Meghan Ciana Doige, she “Absolutely adored Ilona Andrews new release: TKWNKM”. We might have a new Horde member. ;o)

  36. This Timeline Will Not Defeat Me.
    This Crimson Wave Will Not Devour Me (for when they battle/defend Rellas from the Crimson Empire).
    This Maelstrom (bedlam?) Will Not Unmoor Me.

    Now I know how hard it is to try to be a writer, dang, it was fun to try to create some though👍👍, even if I end up feeling like I just used a theasarus and it shows as a try too hard result lol.

  40. This Battle Will Not Break Me

    This Dumdum Will Not Destroy Me (Silveren does not deserve our respect ‘cos’ he’s a meanie!)

    This Duke Will Not Dominate Me (Ramond – get yourself in line!)

    This Stelka Will Not Submerge me (in fish)

    This is fun!

  42. THIS PLOT WILL NOT STUMBLE ME!

    THIS DURSAN WILL NOT EAT ME!

    THIS MAGE WILL NOT OUTLAST ME!

    This is fun:))

  47. lota of great ideas! love them!

    This Future will not Break me
    This Future will not Unmake me
    This Dursan will not Eat me
    This Kingdom will not Eject me

    thanks for the funsies!
    happy writing, IA fam.✒️

  48. This Horde will not ‘ship me
    This Triangle will not Trip me
    This Steve will not Ferret me
    This War will not Warp me

  51. Apologies if already suggested, but with this summer weather, how about “This heat will not melt me?”

  52. Fun post! Thank you fellow Hoardians for your creativity and humor.

    This Wait will not Consume Me.

  53. This World will not Destroy me

    or, really – This alphahole will not constrain me

    Though I will say, barsa barsa barsa barsa barsa barsa has been my favorite title submission comment so far!

  55. This Cliffhanger Will Not Kill Me.

    This Treasury Will Not Tax Me.

    This Soap Will Finally Clean Me.

    No seriously, I’m a bit concerned about the Treasury of Rallas. There are mentioned several times as highly dangerous, and Everard warned Maggie right at the beginning that they would need to figure out the books until Treasury knocks on their door.

  57. This Duke Will Not Save Me. Maggie the Undying can save herself which she has proven several times.

  59. This Struggle will not Stop Me
    This Man will not Move Me
    This Magic will not Master Me
    This Blade will not Buy/Break Me
    This Quest will not Quell Me
    This Fight will not Finish Me
    This Death will not Defeat Me
    This Evil will not End Me

  60. This Darkness will not Suffocate me

    This Selka will not Take Over the Kingdom

    May cool winds blow to those that need them.

  65. Mod R, now I want Mango cupcakes. Surely some Horde member has a good recipe… (also enjoyed the BDH creativity and silliness 🙂).

  66. This City Will Not Crush Me
    This Love Will Not Change Me
    This Empire Will Not Envelop Me

  69. This Timeline Will Not Thwart Me.

    …. and there were so many great suggestions that made my week really, go BDH!

  72. my suggestion for the title:
    This Decision Will Not Limit Me.

    can’t wait for the real title. looking forward to the book.

  75. This World Will Not Burn for Me
    ok,it is an extra word but the book cover would be so cool!

  76. This Exultant Call will not hold me.
    This chronology will not defy me.
    This Duke will not forget me.
    (And forget to mention that he’s alive)
    This welcome will not be reinstated.

  77. This World Will Not Burn Afore Me?
    These Worlds Will Not Burn Before Me?

    just trying to get the wording right….

  79. Catching up on the blog and basking in the horde‘s enthusiasm after a real life mandated interruption – so, late to the party, but very good to be back.

    This Beast Will Not Best Me

    • OK. Now this title challenge will not release me. I‘m obsessing a bit here.
      We need emotion, we need ambiguity, we need Maggie‘s indomitable spirit, we need Silveren’s choices between redemption and revenge, and we need … alliteration!

      This Wrath Will Not Ruin Me

  83. Late, but here goes nothin’:

    This Villain Will Not Slay Me
    This Love Will Not Stop Me
    This Magic Will Not End Me
    This Editor Will Not Delete Me
    This Sambocade Will Not Tempt Me

  86. This Battle will not Break me…

    Very late to the party so not sure if this has been guessed already??

  88. I’ll go with a small change to the first books title – This kingdom will not break/change/mute/love me

  90. This plot twist will not deter me. Alternatively, This death will not destroy me.

  91. This Conflict Will Not Conquer Me
    This War Will Not Weaken Me
    This Dursan Will Not Devour Me
    This Stelka Will Not Snack On Me
    This Sambocade Will Not Satiate Me

  98. This business will not bankrupt me
    This Magic will not Corrupt Me
    This author will not side character me
