What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Step into a darkly magical world of witchcraft, deadly creatures, and a secret society on the brink of war - perfect for readers of Ninth House, A Deadly Education and The Atlas Six.
In a world of witches she has two choices: ?Hunt, or be hunted.?
Vic Wood’s ordinary life crumbles when her younger brother is accepted into the Acheron Order, a secret society of witches tasked with keeping the world of the dead at bay. While Henry inherited their absent mother’s magical abilities, Vic did not. So she is stunned when the Order’s mysterious leader invites her to join the other initiates at Avalon Castle, to prove his controversial hypothesis – that magic can be taught.
But outsiders aren’t welcome at Avalon, and Vic has to fight for the chance to stay. Scouring archives and libraries for anything she can use to her advantage, Vic uncovers a dangerous truth: the Order is on the brink of war, and her own mother might have started it.
And then there is Xan, the Order’s imposing, ruthless, frustrating head Sentinel. Xan makes no secret that he wants Vic gone. But even the cavernous castle can feel cramped and claustrophobic amidst their electric connection . . .
As simmering tension gives way to violence, Vic must choose whether to leave the preternatural behind, and risk losing her family, or stay, and remain powerless in a world where power is everything.
WELCOME TO THE ACHERON ORDER.

Critics Review
-
Darkly gripping from the first page, We Who Have No Gods is a smart and sexy new take on dark academia fantasy.
Sable Sorensen, bestselling author of Dire Bound
-
A twisting and tortuous plot combined with a darkly delicious witch-hunter romance makes this book impossible to put down.
Hazel McBride, Sunday Times bestselling author of A Fate Forged in Fire
-
Gorgeously written and lushly atmospheric, We Who Have No Gods sparkles with sexual tension and irresistible magic, drawing the reader into a high-stakes world where witches, humans, and monsters collide. A rich tapestry of family, romance, fate, and fantasy, Anderson’s debut is a shimmering and original story that dares to ask the question: can the mortal girl win on her own terms? A sequel can't come quickly enough.
Katy Hays, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Cloisters
-
Fast-paced, addictive, and hard to put down . . . We Who Have No Gods will draw readers into a compelling world of magic and keep them turning pages until the end.
A.C. Wise, author of Wendy Darling

I loved this clever, addictive take on the "chosen one" trope in romantic fantasy. Set in a gothic magical academy in upstate New York, We Who Have No Gods centers a nonmagical human woman amidst a world of witches who only value power. Sinister, surprising and utterly seductive, We Who Have No Gods is one to add to your 2026 TBR
Ariel Sullivan, author of Conform and Beneath
