Step into the enchanting yet perilous world of Starside, where magic and vengeance intertwine in a breathtaking adult romantasy from bestselling author Alex Aster. The realm is divided between the immortals of Starside, with their godlike powers, and the struggling mortals of Stormside, who will do anything for a taste of magic’s might. As the gates between these worlds open every fifty years for a deadly quest, Aris, a determined blacksmith’s apprentice, seeks retribution against the gods who destroyed her life.

On the brink of the Culling, a ruthless competition to choose fifty challengers, Aris must fend off not only formidable opponents but also ancient beasts and treacherous immortals. Armed with a powerful sword she claims, she becomes a formidable adversary, but also a dangerous target. As she navigates the deadly trials and her tangled past—including the enigmatic Harlan Raker, who harbors secrets of his own—Aris learns that trusting anyone could be her greatest mistake. The stakes rise when a dark secret threatens not just her life, but the fate of both realms.

This thrilling tale isn't merely a fantasy; it’s a quest for empowerment, revenge, and the pursuit of justice in a world where power must be claimed, not given. Dive into a narrative that challenges the boundaries of loyalty and ambition and discover why it has become an instant sensation among readers everywhere.
