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’d love to see either the Psy/Changeling or Guild Hunters series by Nalini Singh illustrated.
Wizard of the Grove by Tanya Huff would be cool
I would love to see the Hollows series by Kim Harrison illustrated!!! Rachel Morgan is one of my favourite badass heroines, alongside Kate Daniels of course 😉 <3
The Dust series by Elizabeth Bear. Sci-Fi knights, dread villains, evil ais, a broken workshop filled with talking plants, high tech squirrel based toolkits and the sweetest, safest romance ever.
That is just beautiful!
I’d love to see something from the Raine Benares series by Lisa Shearin.
What a beautiful treasure.
I would like to see the Paradox series by Rachel Bach. The series starts with Fortune’s Pawn and I’ve always wondered if my image of the characters matches other readers.
All the best.
The Dust trilogy by Elizabeth Bear. Arthurian themed Sci-Fi on a broken and dying colony ship filled with talking plants, evil ais, brave knights, despicable villains, squirrel based high tech toolkits and the sweetest and saddest romance.
I basically want illustrated books for everything. It’s unfair that only children’s books get illustrations!
I’m going to go with The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison. I’d love some lush fantasy illustrations, especially of the architecture.
I’d love to see Kate Daniels or Mercy Thompson get illustrated. I know there’s a comic for Mercy, but it’s just not the same.
Heart of Obsidian by Nalini Singh. I know it would be odd to just do one book of a series but that one is my favorite.
Let’s get some Kate Daniels action! 😉
This looks amazing! I’d love to see the illustrated version of their Hidden Legacy series. I love Ilona Andrews!
Congrats on the Innkeeper Chronicles turned graphic! I met the Ilona Andrews duo at KissCon in Austin this year–wonderful! So I’d love to see more of their work turned into a graphic work, like their latest WHITE HOT. Keep ’em coming!
I would to see Kate Daniels series illustrated
Magic Bleed by Ilona Andrews!! Maybe also the Bridgertons.
I would like to see The Dark Jewels series by Anne Bishop illustrated!
Oh this sounds awesome; I love the idea of illustrated romance novels! There are so many that I would love to see. Tessa Dare’s Castles Ever After series would be great illustrated. And Alyssa Cole’s An Extraordinary Union would be fantastic: even if it were just a series of Elle’s facial expressions it would be amazing.
I would love to see Cecyou Robson’s Wird Girl series illustrated. It would be amazing.
I would love to see an illustrated version of Tanya Huff’s Confederation of Valor series.
OH! This is gorgeous! I’m torn–either Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniels world, or Nalini Singh’s Guildhunter/Archangel world.
Beautiful illustrations. I love the way they add to the story.
I would love to see Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson series 🙂
Fangirl squee!
I think I’d really like to see Nalini Singh’s Archangel’s Enigma illustrated. Cool angels and Naasir.
I would love any and all the Ilona Andrews books illustrated, but particularly the books Burn for Me, White Hot and Wildfire. Also #2 & #3 of the Edge series.
I would love to see the October Daye series illustrated. I bet there would be some great possibilies for Tybald, in man and cat form.
Hmm. I’d love to see an illustrated edition of A Lesson Before Dying, by Ernest J Gaines.
I would love to see Written in Red by Anne Bishop or any of that series illustrated. Would love to see the courtyard etc.

I would love to see the Throne of Glass series by Sarah Mass. I wouldn’t sneeze at her Court series, either. I’ll secon (or third) The Dragonriders of Pern, as well as Amanda Bouchet’s Kingmaker Chronicles series. I’ll also throw in there Ann Aguirre’s Sirantha Jax’s series and Kristen Britian’s Green Rider series. And Kristen Callihan’d VIO series, especially “Managed”, with its hot hero and funky heroine. And I could go on and on. And of course, anything else Ilona Andrews I’d LOVE to see an image of Rogan from the Hidden Legacy books!
I would love to see Anne Bishops the other’s series illustrated.
I’d love an illustrated version of Sunshine by Robin McKinley OR The Blue Sword, also by Robin McKinley.
