Profile Picture

Shadow Rise (the second book in the Shadow Fall series) is a science fiction book about Maia Greystone and her journey to save Earth. After Maia escapes from jail, she winds up finding her friends, only to find out that they, including her long-lost brother, think she is a traitor.

Shadow Rise is the second book in the Shadow Fall series. In the first book, she fails to stop a bomb from blowing up the city, which included the place where her dad lived. Instead, she is caught and being held prisoner by the Archduchess, an evil woman who exemplifies her character by using excruciating torture methods. Maia endures this torture and can't stop thinking about how she could have prevented the bombing. When she finally escapes, she is branded a traitor by her past friends but continues on the quest to stop the meteor destined to destroy everything.

No longer masquerading as Everly March, Maia flees the Island and joins up with the Fienan Rebels. Unfortunately, nothing is as she expected. The boy she loved no longer remembers her, the people she fought so hard to save don’t trust her, and her brother is a total stranger. On top of that, Maia has less than a week to stop the rebels from making a terrible mistake that will cost them all their lives.
