When vampires are at war . . . No one is safe. Charlotte 'Charlie' Houser discovers how vulnerable she is when she searches for her aunt. Drawn into a shadowy world she didn't know existed, is it really surprising to learn her entire life has been a lie? Heck, it's just another untruth to add to the list. Right up there with vampires. Because, yeah, they do exist. As the key pawn in the raging war for Americas Heart, Charlottes only chance at survival is picking the right ally. But once allegiances are made, the side she chooses may be the one who wants her dead the most.

5 stars: "I'm so glad Risen raised vampires from the dead. I love vampires and it never gets old so long as it's written well, and Cole Gibsen delivers." --Sasha Hibbs, author of Black Amaranth

5 stars: "This was a complete surprise. As much as I tend to love vampire novels, they usually get repetitive after a while. Risen defied my expectations and kept me on my toes." --Alice, The Alley-Cat7
