About the book
Outlander meets Game of Thrones in this blockbuster new epic fantasy series from the #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, 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. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

“Y'all. Y'ALL. This book was so good. Like, I've been reading Ilona Andrews books for 20 years, and they've all been great. Never regretted one. But this book? This book is on a totally different playing field. Multiple times throughout, I had to stop and stare at a wall for a bit. When I finished it, I slammed it on the bed 3-4 times, whilst screaming. It was 1 am, and I was v thankful to live alone. I am absolutely *foaming* to get my hands on book 2, which was officially announced as finished last week. I'm going to be absolutely unbearable as I pimp this book out to everyone I know. I alre…”
“Can't believe I have to wait for the second book to be released. This has to be some kind of crime. Incredible world-building, competent yet flawed main character, and all around enthralling story. Finished it in two days”
