We Who Will Rise
Surviving the emperor’s sundering was just the beginning. In this hotly anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestselling hit, We Who Will Die, Arvelle is forced into an alliance with two vampire brothers: one her lover, one her enemy. This thrilling follow-up delivers nonstop twists and a sizzling slow-burn romance.
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.
But the gods are fractured, and their grudges are older than the empire.
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.
And survival will hinge on who—if anyone—she can trust.
