Summary

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. Its people lived in harmony, and their civilization flourished as they learned to harness and control the power of Light.

Critics Review

Under the Iron Sky is fresh, engrossing, brilliantly energetic. A.T. Emerald has crafted a gorgeously realised world savouring of Mad Max and Pitch Black. The combat scenes are vivid, the enemies-to-lovers throughline goes hard on the enemies (to my vast delight), and a juicy vein of cynicism seeps through the characters’ voices. An exhilarating ride. – Brigitte Knightley
A breath of fresh air—no pun intended. A.T. Emerald had me gripped from the start with her sharp-tongued characters and imaginative world. Consider me addicted. – Josie Bullard
Riveting. Unique. Exquisite. An epic fantasy romance debut! I loved every word of this story and cannot wait for more. Bravo, A.T. Emerald! – Devney Perry

An absolute masterpiece of a debut. A gripping, gut-wrenching, gritty fantasy packed full of twists, turns and emotional damage. The complex characters, unique worldbuilding and stellar writing had me unable to put this book down. A must-read for dark fantasy fans. – Hazel McBride
Under the Iron Sky sinks its teeth into you from the first page and refuses to let go. The dark, war-torn world is populated by characters who are all too easy to love—even when they have knives angled at each other’s throats. Wildly fun, gasp-worthy, and sure to hit the sweet spot for anyone looking for a slowburn enemies-to-lovers romance that will keep them turning the pages all night. – Lynn D. Jung
An incredibly unique and masterful take on a fantasy dystopia, with a cast of complicated characters you love, hate, and sometimes both at the same time. A.T. Emerald is a genius, and this is a debut novel that everyone is going to want on their bookshelves. – Jordan Rose
Whether it’s the dragons or the crackling chemistry between Soraya and Ikarus, Under the Iron Sky burns with tension from the first chapter to the final page. A.T. Emerald deftly blends a fascinating magic system, a dark slow-burn romance, and gripping world building in this fabulous debut. I could not put it down! – Moorea Corrigan
Utterly addictive. A pulse-pounding and immersive tale that grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go. An astounding debut that will hook readers from the first page and deliver true enemies-to-lovers at its finest. – Wanda Hellmund, author of Our Dark Incantations
