Rise

Kentucky, the "Bluegrass State", has turned red. A decade after a catastrophic experiment gone wrong, vampires now boldly leave emptied bodies in the street, and humans will soon cower in fear. The Guardians, a clandestine force intent on stopping the carnage, have covertly infiltrated the dwindling human population as they prepare for the coming battle.

The Guardians have successfully dethroned the leader of the Blood Takers, but what about his loyal followers? With Jakob out of the picture, their plan was simple. Set rules, reform the Rogues, and ultimately keep their secret. When more and more rogues kept creeping up in existence, a red flag was raised. Someone was turning humans for personal gain and using them to expose their secrets. Many lies were told on that fateful night of Jakob’s death, but no one could have foreseen who was behind this....

After eradicating Jakob and the Blood Takers, another leader emerges, trying to make the humans bow before them as if they are gods. The Guardians can’t seem to catch a break trying to keep the peace between humans and vampires. After capturing the new rogue leader, Drake, the humans make one thing clear: The only way for a treaty to be upheld is to hand him over and let justice reign upon him. The only problem: Will Sasha comply or let her heart get in the way and cause a major war? Is it possible to have peace after all the suffering inflicted on both sides?
