The Gods Below series began in 2024 as Andrea G. Stewart’s follow-up to The Drowning Empire. The first book follows a protagonist who descends into an underground realm populated by forgotten gods and discovers that the world below has its own complex politics and dangers.

The series continues with The War Beyond (2025), expanding on the subterranean setting and its mythology. Stewart brings the same attention to worldbuilding and moral complexity that defined her earlier trilogy, applying it to a new kind of fantasy landscape – one built downward rather than across islands and seas.
