Publisher Description
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.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Being the world’s biggest fan of an unfinished fantasy series turns out to be surprisingly useful survival training in this wickedly inventive portal fantasy from Ilona Andrews. When Maggie wakes up in a gutter in the city of Kair Toren, she realizes she’s somehow landed inside her favorite dark fantasy series, which she’s spent years obsessively rereading. Her detailed knowledge of the story’s scheming warlords and feuding princes is her only advantage as she bonds with an unlikely crew and races to stop the catastrophic war she knows is coming. Andrews nails Maggie’s sharp and funny internal voice, building high-stakes tension around the challenge of knowing her new friends’ fates before they do. Maggie’s habit of weaponizing her superfan expertise against enemies who have no idea what she knows is endlessly entertaining, and the slow-burn tension between her and a dangerously compelling soldier makes This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me a thoroughly satisfying read.
Customer Reviews
New favorite house andrews book!
Why, may u ask? Well… cuz of Ramond Vi Everard ofc! He just has had deliciously maddening effect with us readers, methinks
Breath of fresh air.
Obsessed. Smart, funny, great worldbuilding, believable characters, and actually fresh. Finally, a heroine who acts logically and a story that doesn’t just jump from trope to trope. My only complaint is that now I have to wait for book 2.
Hooked, again.
Like with all of Ilona Andrews books, series I am hooked on This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me. The world building is beyond compare. The prose flows so smoothly and beautifully. The plot is thick and twisty. Please don’t make me wait for Maggie’s next book! ;)
