Andie Newton píše historickú fikciu, ktorá sa často zameriava na zložité vzťahy a osobnú silu tvárou v tvár nepriazni osudu. Jej romány sú cenené pre svoju dôkladnú rešerš a pohlcujúcu atmosféru, ktorá čitateľa vtiahne do minulosti. Newton sa s citom pre detail venuje skúmaniu ľudskej odolnosti a dopadu histórie na jednotlivcov. Jej práca rezonuje vďaka silným ženským postavám a nadčasovým témam lásky, straty a vykúpenia.
