Andrea Stewart

Andrea Stewart is an American fantasy author of Chinese and Filipino descent whose epic fantasy draws on Asian cultures and mythology. She holds a computer science degree and has worked in the tech industry. The Bone Shard Daughter is the first in the Drowning Empire trilogy, set in a world where the emperor controls his subjects through bone shard magic — inserting shards of human bone into constructs that enforce his will. The novel was praised for its original magic system, its diverse cast, and its richly imagined island-based world. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers original, atmospheric epic fantasy with an inventive magic system — a debut that signals a major new voice in the genre.
