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 like to see an illustrated copy of Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynn Jones.
I would love to see anything by Ilona Andrews illustrated! They are my favourite authors.
Something with fairies and magic. Holly Black’s Darkest Part of the Forest comes to mind.
Lorna Freeman Covenant… its such a lush description of the characters and settings…oooh and Jim Butchers Codex Alera would be amazing
Hi!
Absolutely love the Innskeeper chronicles! As I’m in France, wouldn’t mind paying for the postage fees to get this one.
In terms of other books I’d love to see illustrated, I think that Robin McKinley’s (the Hero and the Crown) would be awesome!
Otherwise, the Elenium series from David Eddings.
Thanks for this awesome givaway!
I’m going to have to go with something with dragons or angels…I love to see Sharon Shinn’s Samaria series illustrated, starting with Archangel!
What a wonderful giveaway!
I’d love to see all books by Ilona Andrews illustrated. If not them, maybe Kresley Cole’s IAD series 🙂
Thanks for a great giveaway.
Umm, what would I like to see as an illustrated work? Hm. Piers Anthony’s Xanth series. I’d love to see what an artist would make of those punny plants.
Hi, thanks for the chance to win. It would be awesome to see an illustrated copy of Michelle West’s Sun Sword books…or even better, and animated series!

So many to choose from, so I’ll just mention the first to come to mind. Magic Strikes by Ilona Andrews. Skinwalker by Faith Hunter.
I would love to see Amanda Bouchet’s Kingmaker Chronicles trilogy illustrated. I think it would be lovely!
Rosemary & Rue by Seanan McGuire
As a complete Ilona Andrews fangirl, I’ve seen a few illustrations of the characters from Burn for Me on their blog… but I would LOVE to see an illustrated copy of White Hot.
I can see it now… a better cover (the real one deserves some cover snark, sadly), and pictures on the inside. There’s a certain social event that I would absolutely love to see pictured.
It be fun to see Charlie and Reyes adventures!
I’d love to see Anne McCaffery’s Dragonflight as an illustrated book. I’d also like to see C.E. Murphy’s Urban Shaman illustrated, too.
I’d love to see IA’s Kate Daniels series illustrated. Curran? Yes, please!
I would The Others series by Anne bishop to be illustrated. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love to see the books of the Imperial Radch trilogy illustrated. I really want to see the Translators in particular!
I think that the book I would most likely an illustrated copy of is Robin McKinley’s “Sunshine.” I had such wonderful world building and such interesting characters that sing them brought out with illustrations would be spectacular.
As with some other commenters I feel like Ilona Andrew’s Kate Daniels series would be cool to see illustrated. It would take forever but it would be fun to see all the shape shifters and of course visuals of Kate kicking butt.
I’ll take all the other Ilona Andrews books illustrated too, please!
What a wonderful prize! Would love to see Seanan Mcguires October Daye series illustrated, beautiful. Thanks for the opportunity.
I love “Innkeeper” serie!!
With most books I prefer my imagination rather than illustrations, but I would love to see at least a few paintings for “Radiance” of Grace Draven.
I love the Inkeeper series and the artwork for it is amazing. I’d love to add this limited edition physical book to my digital collection version.
As for other books I’d like done in the same fashion, the Kate Daniels series also by Ilona Andrews would be awesome. The cover art is cool, but not consistant. So new consistant cover art and illustrations that truly represent the banaza of colorful and interesting characters and places within that series would be heavenly! Or because there are so many books, just an illustrated guide for the Kate series’ characters and places with short blips describing characters, places and mabe thoughts behind creating them would also be excellent! Any fan of the books would surely have to have it, if done right. Please think of making this! If you do, it would definitely be a must buy for me.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see Meghan Ciana Doidge’s “Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic” (#1 in her Dowser Series). She does an awesome combo modern / alternative world building, complete with cupcakes. And shoes.
I’d like to see “A Court of Thorns and Roses” illustrated.
I also would like to see Kate Daniels series and GA Aiken’s Dragon Actually illustrated.
This book is making me drool! I read this series from the library & would love to own it, especially in this form! Another series I’d love to see like this is Meljean Brook’s Iron Sea books. I really want to see a Troll drawn out.
I’m not sure which one but I think I’d love the Wayward Children series by Seanan McGuire. I really loved the first one.
i’d love an illustrated version of Cinder by Marissa Meyer (and all the other books in the lunar chronicles too).
Hidden Legacy series by Ilona Andrews! Burn for Me!
I’d like to see Wintersong by S. Jae-Jones. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Anything by Patricia Briggs would make me happy.
Hmmm. This is tough. Maybe Amelia Peabody books. They would make great graphic novels too.
As I’m reading through some of the comments everyone has listed all the books I’d love to have illustrated.
So I’ll second the illustrations for Sherwood Smiths Crown Duel/Court duel. Also, Cassandra Clare’s Mortal Instruments books and one I didn’t see mentioned – Dragon Sword and Wind Child by Noriko Ogiwara. If your into fantasy this book is one of my favorites.
