Dark pasts and forbidden romances haunt three ambitious sisters as they fight to inherit the throne in this sequel to Rule, which New York Times best-selling author Elly Blake called "dazzling" and "pulse-pounding".

When King Andros discovers the sisters' traitorous pasts, the consequences will shake the entire kingdom to its core.

Beginning in 1914, RISE tells the story of Odzihozo Larocque, a fiercely proud youth named after the self-created first man of Abenaki mythology. Just before his vision quest, he is taken to the Carlisle Industrial School for Indians. The school's mission to "kill the Indian to save the man inside" has devastating effects on Odzihozo and his fellow students. Five years later, Oswald St. Peter returns to his ancestral homeland near Swanton, Vermont, but everything has changed – his language, his clothes, even his own name. The remnants of Oswald's clan encourage him to embrace the white man’s life for which he has been trained and disavow the Abenaki traditions and identities which he longs to cultivate. Taking a job as a clerk at the local suspender factory, Oswald begins a new life of meager obscurity until suspicions are cast his way when the factory burns to the ground in 1923. Alone and depressed, Oswald is inspired by Thoreau’s Walden to abandon life in Swanton and bravely enter the last remnants of Vermont wilderness. For eight years, he thrives on the traditional methods of his ancestors to re-create his identity as Odzihozo. But when a passionate inter-racial romance leads Oswald back into civilization, he finds himself in the sights of the Eugenics Society whose members seek an ethnically pure Vermont.A portion of the proceeds from RISE will support efforts by the Abenaki clans of New England and Quebec to preserve their cultural and linguistic heritage.
