TO FIND HER SISTER, SHE MUST GO TO WAR WITH A GOD

A divine war has shattered the world. Now the various human nations must pay a regular tribute of magical gems to the conquering god Kluehnn – or face his unholy wrath.

Such matters are of little concern to Hakara. All she cares about is finding her long-lost sister, Rasha. But when Hakara learns she can channel the magic in the gems, she falls in with a secretive band of rebels who promise they can help her find Rasha.

But only if Hakara joins their war against a god.

The Gods Below begins an epic new fantasy series from Sunday Times bestselling author Andrea Stewart, where two sisters find themselves on opposite sides of a war against gods.

Reviews

Ambitious worldbuilding and some of the best character arcs in fantasy . . . Andrea Stewart is back, and it's time to get obsessed again
Fanfiaddict
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

Booklist (starred review)
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
