I met Cait via Twitter and instantly followed her author page on
Facebook (she's just that cool). Her posts about her photo shoot and her
theatrical fashion show centered on the premise of From Under the Mountain have me so
excited to read this novel!
Dark fantasy fans…this is going to be a must read book! I’m
excited to share with you the beautiful cover of From Under the Mountain!
What is this amazing book about?
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
Doesn’t that
last part just get you!?
