From No. 1 New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author Alex Aster comes an epic new fantasy world. Centuries after a brutal war divided the land into Starside — realm of immortals and gods’ descendants — and Stormside — home of mortals fighting for scraps of magic — the gates open once every fifty years. Fifty challengers embark on a perilous quest for magic that can heal, enrich, or extend life.
Aris, an orphaned blacksmith’s apprentice, seeks vengeance against the gods who destroyed her family. Armed with a great sword of immense power she claimed against all odds, she is both competitor and target — and the secrets tied to her family’s death could change the fate of gods and mortals alike.
Perfect for fans of Lightlark and Nightbane by Alex Aster, Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas, and Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. Ideal for readers of YA fantasy, romantic adventure, and epic quests with vengeance-driven heroines.
