We Who Will Rise

Surviving the emperor’s sundering was just the beginning. This is the hotly anticipated sequel to the Sunday Times and New Yorks Times bestselling hit, We Who Will Die . . . --Arvelle never expected to survive the emperor’s arena. She never expected to make a dangerous deal with his vampire sons Tiernon and Rorrik. And she certainly never expected to become a point of contention in the brothers’ already hostile relationship. With Mortuus stirring in his prison, Arvelle is forced to work with Rorrik to translate a long-lost journal that may hold the key to containing the god of ruin. As Mortuus’s power grows, her only hope is to confront the truth about her own power, and ally with the gods who caged him so long ago. When old wounds begin to reopen, Arvelle reaches a tentative alliance with the last person she could have expected. But this connection demands she cross an unthinkable boundary to reveal a new version of herself—someone powerful enough to save an empire. Pursuing that power could cost her everything. But the gods are fractured, and their grudges are older than the empire. And survival will hinge on who—if anyone—she can trust.
