About

In this thrilling sequel to the Sunday Times bestseller The Gods Below, loyalties will be tested, long-lost secrets will be revealed, and two sisters will face each other on the battlefield as the war between the gods ignites.

 

Hakara risked her life to find her long-lost sister Rasha, only to lose her all over again. Now she and her Unanointed rebels hunt for the shapeshifter Lithuas, knowing that defeating her would strike a blow to the plans of the tyrant god Kluehnn.

 

 Rasha once longed to be reunited with Hakara. No longer. Now she is a Godkiller and proud to serve Kluehnn's divine will. Yet she also harbours doubts about Kluehnn's teachings. When she is sent to destroy Hakara and her allies, Rasha will have to decide where her loyalty truly lies.

 

As the two sisters hurtle towards a bloody reunion, Sheuan continues her shadowy games of intrigue to uncover the secret that killed her father, while her cousin Mullayne seeks the tomb of Tolemne. There, Mull believes he'll find the answers he desires. 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. "Stewart's worlds are some of the most exceptionally inventive in modern fantasy. A must read!"-S.A. Chakraborty, New York Times bestselling author of The City of Brass on The Gods Below "Andrea Stewart is a master of building worlds with a burning, beating heart. This first in her new trilogy is an epic and heart-rending struggle between gods and mortals, lovers and siblings as each must pick a side to survive. Each twist of the tale is a twist of the knife, and every turn drags you closer to a bloody and powerful conclusion. As a reader, I found myself leaping from chapter to chapter, breathless and desperate to find out what happens next. Stewart is a writer of genius and brilliance, and I can't wait to see where this trilogy leads."

 -Hannah Kaner, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Godkiller on The Gods Below "An unmissable, heart-pounding eco-adventure in a world of raging mortals and warring gods that will leave you breathless. Perfect for fans of The Stormlight Archives."-Kritika H. Rao, author of The Surviving Sky on The Gods Below "The Gods Below is the best kind of epic fantasy, balancing breathtakingly imaginative worlds with complex, deeply felt characters. This is a story of ancient gods and magical transformations; it's also the story of desperate people fighting for those they love, and undergoing transformations of different kinds. Intricate, propulsive, and beautiful--I loved it."-H. G. Parry, author of The Magician's Daughter on The Gods Below "The Gods Below is as breathtaking as its magic system promises. Expect old gods, altered beings, magic stones, fighting, romance, and rollicking good fun. Stewart's newest series cements her as a bright voice in the fantasy genre."-L. R. Lam, author of Dragonfall on The Gods Below
"In this series launch full of rich worldbuilding and invested characters, Stewart creates a story of families broken and reformed, magic, and the capriciousness of gods."-Library Journal on The Gods Below
"Stirring... Stewart maintains a good balance between the sisters and their competing goals, creating a fascinating level of moral ambiguity so that readers will feel that each character is justified in making her choices. This promises good things for the series to come."-Publishers Weekly on The Gods Below "The Gods Below is a propulsive epic fantasy that holds a blade to your throat and dares you not to breathe.
