The Gods Below

From one of the biggest new stars in epic fantasy comes a sweeping epic of warring gods, loyalty, betrayal, and a world in turmoil.

In a world ravaged by ancient magic, precious gemstones bestow magical abilities on the few individuals who are able to harness their power.

Hakara, a young woman searching for her missing sister will do anything to find her—even lead a rebellion against the gods themselves.

Full of clandestine power struggles and the battles between gods, this beginning of a new trilogy is sure to attract fans of “The Bone Shard Daughter” and “The Poppy War.” Andrea Stewart is the daughter of immigrants, and was raised in a number of places across the United States. Her parents always emphasized science and education, so she spent her childhood immersed in “Star Trek” and odd-smelling library books.

When her (admittedly ambitious) dreams of becoming a dragon slayer didn't pan out, she instead turned to writing books. She now lives in sunny California, and in addition to writing, can be found herding cats, looking at birds, and falling down research rabbit holes.
