Books with title The Dark is Rising

In this highly anticipated contemporary fantasy, 12-year-old Maya’s search for her missing father puts her at the center of a battle between our world, the Orishas, and the mysterious and sinister Dark world. Perfect for fans of Aru Shah and the End of Time and The Serpent’s Secret. Twelve-year-old Maya is the only one in her South Side Chicago neighborhood who witnesses weird occurrences like were-hyenas stalking the streets at night and a scary man made of shadows plaguing her dreams. Her friends try to find an explanation - perhaps a ghost uprising or a lunchroom experiment gone awry. But to Maya, it sounds like something from one of Papa’s stories or her favorite comics. When Papa goes missing, Maya is thrust into a world both strange and familiar as she uncovers the truth. Her father is the guardian of the veil between our world and the Dark - where an army led by the Lord of Shadows, the man from Maya’s nightmares, awaits. Maya herself is a godling, half orisha and half human, and her neighborhood is a safe haven. But now that the veil is failing, the Lord of Shadows is determined to destroy the human world, and it’s up to Maya to stop him. She just hopes she can do it in time to attend Comic-Con before summer’s over.

The Rising She is the daughter of the resistance. The new world is her world. She is Rachel Warner, daughter of the Chief of law enforcement… but she is also Darion Rhys, daughter of the most wanted rebel leader in the world. Two identities: one brings her respect, but the other can get her killed. She is a plant. One wrong move would be catastrophic—the powers that be would use her to get to her family—and she can’t let that happen. She trains hard. Leo is determined to win her affections, but all he does is stand in her way. Making matters worse, she draws the interest of the youngest Rothwell heir, and son of her grandfather's nemesis. Johnny is strong, powerful, and he represents an opportunity—an irresistible chance for her to help her family come out of hiding. All she has to do is play a part and she's already done that for most of her life. But little does Darion realize that she is entering a web so thick, so impenetrable, that it will take all of her training and determination to survive what lies ahead.
