Starside (Deluxe Limited Edition) is Alex Aster's first adult romantasy — darker, more epic, and more cinematic than anything she's written before. This collector's hardcover features stenciled edges, illustrated endpapers, a special case design, and jacket effects, making it a standout piece for any bookshelf.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Lightlark series. The world is split by war: Starside, realm of immortals and gods' descendants, and Stormside, where mortals fight for scraps of magic. Every fifty years, fifty challengers cross into Starside to claim power that can heal, enrich, or extend life.
Aris, an orphaned blacksmith's apprentice, enters not for glory but vengeance — to kill the gods who destroyed her family. Armed with a claimed sword of immense power, she becomes both competitor and target. Facing deadly creatures, treacherous immortals, and the merciless king's guard Harlan Raker, Aris must survive the Culling and confront secrets tied to her family's death.
Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas, and Lightlark by Alex Aster. Ideal for readers crossing over from YA into adult romantasy.
Trending on BookTok for its vengeance-driven heroine, deadly competition, and morally grey love interest. Viral quote: "The greatest swords are claimed, not inherited."
