About this ebook
A page-turning, unforgettable fantasy set in a city peopled with ruffians, spies, malcontents and murderers. Experience out-of-this world adventure and dangerous politics as Maggie tries to survive waking up in her favourite fictional world.
A heart-pounding epic from No. 1 New York Times bestselling author duo Ilona Andrews.
When Maggie wakes up cold, filthy and naked in a gutter, it doesn’t take her long to recognize Kair Toren. It’s a city she knows intimately from the pages of a famously unfinished dark fantasy series – one 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 encyclopaedic 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.
Maggie joins 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 return home, she finds herself enmeshed in the schemes – and attentions – of duelling princes, dukes and villains. This all while trying to save them and the kingdom of Rellas from the ending she’s seen on the page: a cataclysmic war.
This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me is the beginning of the most epic adventure yet from genre powerhouse writing duo Ilona Andrews. For fans of Samantha Shannon, Sarah J. Maas, Danielle L. Jensen and isekai portal fantasy.
‘Exciting, complex, with indelible characters and a heroine who cannot die: loved it’
– Charlaine Harris, author of The Southern Vampire Mysteries
‘Absolutely brilliant! This is the kind of book that will make you forget the world exists’
– Sarah Beth Durst, author of The Spellshop
‘This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me will delight . . . a perfect blend of humor and high stakes’
– Katee Robert, author of Neon Gods
‘A fun premise and wonderfully deep worldbuilding’
– Django Wexler, author of How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying
‘An irresistible plunge into another world. I was captivated from the very first line’
– Danielle L. Jensen, author of A Fate Inked in Blood
