Rise: Order of the Krigers, Book 1 - Paperback

by Jennifer Anne Davis (Author)

The people of Nelebek live in fear of persecution from the evil Morlet, who reigns with a dark and destructive magic. The kingdom's only hope lies with the Order of the Krigers--twelve warriors with mysterious powers linked to magical weapons.

For over a century, Morlet has been annihilating the Order, picking them off one by one. Eleven Krigers have been hunted down, tortured, and imprisoned in his dungeon. Now only one remains.

Sixteen-year-old Kaia survives by keeping her head down and minding her own business. But when she finds herself in the middle of a public execution where the mysterious Morlet is in attendance, an odd compulsion she can't resist comes over her when she looks into Morlet's eyes. Soon, an ancient power awakens, and Kaia can't blend into the scenery anymore. Will she heed the call of the Krigers or will Morlet's dark magic destroy the last of the Order?
