About From Under The Mountain:
As the second child of the
Aridan imperial family, nineteen-year-old Guerline knows exactly what is
expected of her: be unobtrusive, be compliant, and do not fall in love
with her low-born companion, Eva. She has succeeded at only two of
those.
But before her feelings for Eva can become a point
of contention for the royal house, Guerline's calm and narrow life is
ripped away from her—in the course of a single night—and she is abruptly
cast in the role of empress.
Faced with a council that
aggressively fears the four witch clans charged with protecting Arido
and believes they are, in fact, waging war against the humans, Guerline
struggles to maintain order. As her control over the land crumbles, she
learns that the war is rooted in a conflict much older than she
realized—one centuries in the making, which is now crawling from under
the mountain and into the light. With the fate of Arido hanging in the
balance, Guerline must decide who to trust when even her closest
councilors seem to have an agenda.
Darkly cinematic, From
Under the Mountain pairs the sweeping landscape of epic fantasy with
the personal journey of finding one’s voice in the world, posing the
question: how do you define evil, when everything society tells you is a
lie? | Add to Goodreads
