"Throughout this process, I wanted to bring myself back to that place of just me and the page, no expectations, no one looking over my shoulder, just me writing for me and me wanting to be part of this story and wanting to see what happened to these characters,"
"I've tried to protect my process in that way, and I'm really happy that I still write exactly what I want to read. And I've really found so much joy in the last year of writing."
"Starside is set in a world where swords have magic, and power isn't inherited, it's claimed,"
Alex Aster invited 100 devoted readers to her Sept. 10 30th birthday celebration at the HarperCollins office in New York City, combining a fan event with a secret book launch. Aster spent the past year writing a new novel in strict secrecy and worked on it nightly with no days off, aiming to recapture the solitary joy of writing she experienced at age 12. The forthcoming first novel in the series is scheduled for March 24, 2026, and marks her debut into adult romantasy. Starside takes place in a world where swords possess magic and power is claimed rather than inherited. Every fifty years, gates open between Starside, home of the gods, and Stormside, home of mortals.
