This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me

By Ilona Andrews

The page-turning politics of Game of Thrones meets the worlds-spanning romance of Outlander in this blockbuster new epic fantasy series from the #1 New York Times bestselling author duo Ilona Andrews. DELUXE EDITION—featuring gorgeous sky blue sprayed edges! When Maggie wakes up cold, filthy, and naked in a gutter, it doesn't take her long to recognize Kair Toren, a city she knows intimately from the pages of the famously unfinished dark fantasy series she's been obsessively reading and re-reading while waiting years for the final novel. Her only tools for navigating this gritty world of rival warlords, magic, and mayhem? Her encyclopedic knowledge of the plot, the setting, and the characters' ambitions and fates. But while she quickly discovers she cannot be killed (though many will try!), the same cannot be said for the living, breathing characters she's coming to love—a motley band that includes a former lady’s maid, a deadly assassin, various outrageous magical creatures, and a dangerously appealing soldier. Soon, instead of trying to get home, she finds herself enmeshed in the schemes—and attentions—of dueling princes, dukes, and villains, all while trying to save them and the kingdom of Rellas from the way she knows their stories will end: in a cataclysmic war. For fans of Samantha Shannon, Danielle L. Jensen, Sarah J. Maas, and isekai and portal fantasy, This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me is the beginning of the most epic adventure yet from genre powerhouse author duo Ilona Andrews.

What a wild ride! There’s a LOT of world-building and a whole cast of characters to keep straight, but once I found my footing, I was hooked. The characters stole my heart, especially the unlikely family they formed along the way. I loved their banter, their loyalty, and the way they somehow fit together despite all their differences. Add in magic, danger, plenty of humor, and a deliciously slow-burn romance (zero spice!), and I was completely invested. Now I’m left with a million questions and an aching need for the next book 5⭐️ Book #74 in 2026
