Rise From The Ashes

by Maria DeJesus Ruiz

In the late summer of 2098, a nation dictated under one man known as The Crow is running the way it always has- with no free-will, no rebellion, and most notably, no sunlight. The nation that almost a century ago was recognized for its freedom, is now a nation where having a voice gets you killed. In a world that’s grown so vile that even the sun hides from humanity behind a permanent eclipse, what can you do if your every move is under 24/7 surveillance? When Phoenix Euphema, a skilled Deviant Hunter and Executioner in her small town of District Four, discovers the dreadful truth that has been right under her nose; she quickly finds out she's more than just an ordinary 17-year-old girl. She embarks on a long and painful journey of self-discovery joined by her squadmates, along with the infamous rebel association known as Rebellium. With their fists to the sky, they fight to liberate the nation from The Crow’s corrupt control, resurrect the eclipsed sun, and set the cold world on fire.
