Buckle in for another amazing giveaway! This time, we have a limited edition, illustrated volume of Ilona Andrews’ Innkeeper Chronicles. The volume collects all three installments of the Innkeeper Chronicles, clocks in at over 750 pages, contains black and white and full-color artwork, and is signed by Ilona Andrews (both of them!). Holy cow!
Here’s the description for this special edition:
Subterranean Press is pleased to present, from NYT #1 bestselling author Ilona Andrews, an omnibus of the first three novels in the Innkeeper series. Our edition will be huge (over 760 pages), with an original full-color wraparound dust jacket, as well as full-color and black-and-white interior illustrations by Doris Mantair.
About the Book:
Meet Dina Demille, a nice Texas gal who runs a seemingly ordinary, quaint B&B. But Dina’s inn is a magic, thinking entity; her fluffy Shih-tzu, Beast really is a beast; and her guests are the kind that no one on earth is supposed to know about: guests like a dethroned galactic tyrant with a massive bounty on her head, the Lord Marshal of a powerful vampire clan, and a displaced—and superhot—alpha-strain werewolf.
So don’t expect a normal stay…and don’t stand too close, or you may be collateral damage….
In Clean Sweep, Dina—with the unwanted assistance of newcomer (and alpha werewolf) Sean Evans and Arland, a cosmic vampire soldier—takes on an extraterrestrial killing machine that could destroy her Inn, her neighbors, and everything she holds dear.
Sweep in Peace, finds Dina hosting an anything-but peace summit between three warring intergalactic species; Space Vampires, the Hope-Crushing Horde, and the devious Merchants of Baha-char.
One Fell Sweep sends Dina to the galaxy’s worst penal colony to rescue her sister; and back home to fend off a clan of assassins in pursuit, all while saving a guest’s civilization from annihilation…and searching for her missing parents.

Your comments have been wonderful, and I know I’d love to see more cool illustrated editions in the future.
I would love to see Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter series illustrated. Also, Naomi Novik’s Temaraire series would be awesome.
Dang, now I’m imagining a world in which all these illustrated editions exist! 🙂 I would love to see an illustrated His Fair Assassin series by Robin LaFevers.
I would love to see any of the dragon riders of perm by Anne mccaffrey illustrated.
I would love to see Ann Bishop’s Other’s series or Ilona Andrews Kate Daniels series illustrated. Thanks for the giveaway!
Ahhhhh I love these books SO MUCH and would love to get this edition!
For my competition entry, I’ll say I’d most like to see Nalini Singh’s KISS OF SNOW illustrated. (Hawke! Sienna! And so many wolves!)
ME WANTS IT, MY PRECIOUS!!!! <3 <3 <3 This may have to be my birthday present to myself
I'd love to see one of Elyse's crazy sauce review books in illustrated form. Pictures of lascivious weresharks, anyone? Or maybe Pregnesia, or The Sheik's Virgin Stable Girl.
My first thought was Meljean Brooks’ Iron Duke series. I also really like the suggestions of Kushiel’s Dart and the October Daye series.
@Rebe — Have you seen the Mercy Thompson graphic novels?
I’m late to post so all the books I thought of have been mentioned–books by Anne McCaffrey, Robin McKinley, GA Aiken, Grace Draven,and Roberta Gellis. I would absolutely love to win this book. Fingers crossed!
This such an awesome giveaway! I would love to have a copy of this limited edition because I loved the Innkeeper Chronicles. <3 Another series from Ilona and Gordon that I would love to see illustrated is Hidden Legacy. From another author, it would be great to have an illustrated edition of the Queen's Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner.
I’d love to see the Immortals After Dark book series turned into illustrated books!
I’m a big fan of Eileen Wilks’ World of the Lupi Series. I would love to see an illustrated book of Tempting Danger and the couple, Lily Yu and Rule Turner.
Nalini singh’ s Psy Changeling series would be amazing.
Also to those who mentioned Sarah J Maas ACOTAR series there’s a coloring book with scenes from the books and it is gorgeous. Also follow Charlie Bowater on Instagram. I believe her art was used on the cover for ACOWAR. She’s amazing.
Oh, this would be amazing! I would actually love to see Seanan McGuire’s “October Daye” series in an illustrated version- not just for the characters, but for the amazing potential for illustrating the different places (human and Fae).
Hmm…I think maybe Uprooted by Naomi Novik or Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters.
I would love to see V.E. Schwab’s Shades of London series get illustrated editions! I also agree with an earlier comment and would love to see Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter series illustrated.
I would love to see Naomi Novik’s Temeraire books get this sort of treatment. DRAGONS and warships and all the exotic locals . It would be amazing
And in an aside, @Frances, if memory serves, there was a book of illustrations based on the Dragonriders books. It was probably published a good 30 years ago, so happy hunting.
The three books starting with A Discovery of Witches would make an amazing illustrated omnibus edition!
Oh my goodness, I had no idea how gorgeous the illustrations looked in hardcopy! I’ve lingered over them at the website, but it’s not the same at all.
I’d love to see an illustrated version of CATSPAW by Joan D. Vinge. A futuristic setting candy-coated by visual information overload and a half-human main character who stumbles along the line between accepted and outcast… what’s not to love?
It would be cool to see Sherry Thomas’ Hidden Blade/My Beautiful Enemy duology bound together and illustrated. Or equally as awesome her YA Elemental Trilogy.
How about the Incryptid novels by Seanan Maguire? Gorgons, dragon princesses (all blonde and drop-dead gorgeous), baby boy dragons, nagas (females humanoid, males large cobras), Aeslin mice and their rituals…
I’d love to see illustrated versions of any of Ian M. Banks’ culture books.
Nalini Singh either Guild Hunter or Psy/Changeling
I would love to see Kate Elliot’s Court of Fives series illustrated.
There are so many books that I would love to see as illustrated editions, but the first that springs to mind is Brimstone by Cherie Priest.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I’d like to see illustrated versions of Sydney Joyce Van Scyoc’s SF and Fantasy books. Maybe we can begin with Feather Stroke. 🙂
This looks like an AMAZING edition!
I would go wild over an illustrated version of Megan Whalen Turner’s Queen’s Thief series.
I’d love to have illustrated editions of Alexander McCall Smith’s Number One Ladies’ Detective Agency books. I think they’d be gorgeous.
I would like to see an illustrated version of the Iron Duke by Meljean Brooks – she has created a very vivid steampunk world, and I would love to see a talented artist bring it to life 🙂
Ooh! Great contest! I would love to see an illustrated version of “The Iron Duke” by Meljean Brook. Love Steampunk art!
I’d love to see the Deanna Raybourn Lady Julia books illustrated, especially with some mysterious pencil-type sketches.
I love the visual I get from C.L.Wilsons Tairen Soul series, that would be top of my list.
To actually see them would be amazing. I love this book it’s a must have.
Thank you for a chance
Their Edge series would be great in an illustrated version.
That is so lovely! Keeping with the theme I would love to see the Kate Daniels series illustrated. All of the different shifters, vamps, and settings of a post-magic shift world would be stunning.
Anything by Robin McKinley. I have loved her books since middle school.
I’d love to see an illustrated edition on Uprooted.
Sarah J. Maas’s A Court of Thorns and Roses Series.
Not a chance I can pick just one. Seanan McGuire’s October Daye series, Karen Moning’s Fever series, Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniels series, Laurell K Hamilton’s Merry Gentry series, ANY of RL Naquin’s series.
Oh, and I have to tell you that, as much as I love LOVE the above, I think Andrews’ Innkeeper series is the most fascinating and original of the bunch.
I want the Others series by Anne Bishop illustrated. Or Guild Hunter series by Nalini Singh. I think art for those characters would be amazing.
I’d love to see the Linesman series, by S.K. Dunstall, illustrated.
I’d love to see all of Grace Draven’s books illustrated, but especially Radiance.
Thanks for this fantastic giveaway!
