A young couple's journey through a nightmarish hellscape. The dead in the shadows. The undead on street corners. At night, Nate must scavenge for his family. At night, death awaits. And who is the strange girl writing messages in blood? Dark, thrilling, and tragic, The Risen explores a new kind of existence, where the undead aren’t the only threat to humanity.

It was ash on fingertips and vast. Stepping upon it gave the impression that it had come not from below, buffed by millions of years of wind slicing against rock, but rather from above; that, perhaps, it had drifted down and settled here. This is the post-apocalyptic sandscape that Calix and Annora must navigate - when they're old enough to join the scavenger crews outside of the domes, that is.

With Deke Allinson on their tail and Annora more exposed then she has ever been, can Elissa hold it together long enough to reach safety? Or, is the fire burning all around her a reflection of her own desire for revenge? There's talk on the street, too. The authority have rounded up the remaining protesters and mean to make an example out of them. However things end, one thing is for sure - it will never be the same again.

The city is divided; which side do you stand on? The authority’s? Or the lowcases? Across Neon, the elite and the protesters are rising to battle for their future; for their children and the generations to come. To keep down the boot, or to rise from the darkness. Just what is freedom anyway when the walls of your oppression are everywhere you look?

Born of beast, through blood and bile and spewing guts. A beast she must temper, while her humanity scrambles in the earthenware of the world of once-before. She did not know her parents, but they are there every day - in the mirror, in her burning eyes, in her twisted ways. And in those dead still roaming the Welsh hillsides and towns.

Elissa dreams of breaking the monotony and winning the Liberty Trials: a hoverbike race around the perimeter of the plains with entry to Neon City at stake. Her town sits in the shadow of the enormous blister of Neon’s dome, within reach and yet forbidden. If she could only win…everything would change. If only the stranger hadn’t appeared. If only she could get Quintessa, one of the three Queens, off her back. If only the murderous Rohen could get exactly what he deserved. So many questions. So many variants.

Do you let out an audible sigh of frustration every time someone says, “We’ve never been more divided” and wish you had a space to engage in dialogue that shows this is simply not true?
