After a devastating terrorist attack, the Asheville center lies in ruins, and Marc Girard is missing-presumed dead or taken by a shadowy military faction known as the Naqam. With time running out, Tess Waterford is done waiting. Determined to bring him home, she throws herself into grueling combat training, pushing her abilities to new heights. But even as she grows stronger, she struggles with an emerging power she barely understands-one that could make her unstoppable... or a danger to everyone she loves.
Meanwhile, Phoenix Johnson, a survivor of the Roulette Virus and a Lost Mission potential, crosses paths with Peder, Liz's brother. Her journey into the world of the Apara is unlike any before. But her condition makes her the perfect infiltrator, giving the Apara a chance to track the Naqam and put an end to the threat once and for all.
As both Inspiration Inc and new dangers rise from the ashes, the risk of exposure has never been greater. Will the Apara emerge stronger than before, or will they be consumed by the very forces hunting them?
A thrilling continuation of The Apara Chronicles, Phoenix Rising is a high-stakes blend of science fantasy, action, and intrigue that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.
