Under the Iron Sky

The first book in a new dark, seductive and all-consuming fantasy series, in which a human commander and the masked enemy interrogator sent to break her are drawn into a slow-burn, dangerous bond - one that could end a fifteen-year war or ignite something far deadlier. Perfect for fans of Alchemised and Samantha Shannon.

Vordell was beautiful once.

Beneath its three radiant suns, its people learned to wield light itself and their civilisation flourished.

Then the darkness came.

Led by the Dar'rak, a tide of nightmares rose from the fractured earth. Seventeen years later, the war shows no sign of ending. The suns are smothered by the Iron Sky, a ceiling of choking clouds that cuts humanity off from the light they once relied on. Hope is little more than a rumour—whispers of a hidden weapon powerful enough to end the war.

Commander Soraya Tollmere has stopped believing in hope. Every victory she's won has come from a single source— a mysterious Dar'rak defector feeding her secrets that have saved thousands. When he uncovers a rumoured weapon that could end the war, Soraya leads a mission into enemy lands.

But when the mission goes wrong and Soraya is captured by the Dar'rak's most feared soldier, she expects torment, not questions. His orders are simple—break the human commander, uncover the truth about the supposed weapon, and bring it to the Dar'rak. But as he digs into Soraya's memories, the lines between interrogator and enemy, prisoner and ally, begin to blur.

As devastating truths surface and loyalties shatter, Soraya must decide who to trust in a world where light is dying—and where her greatest enemy may be her only salvation.
