The adventure continues in the second installment of The Protectorate Wars series.
The Fertile Plains are spiraling out of control, and David is at the center of the chaos. He's been deceived and betrayed, and has to decide how much he's willing to risk for the sake of justice. His decision could mean losing his mother and his own life, but these dilemmas seem trivial compared to what’s coming. War is on the horizon, and the Alönian armada is woefully unprepared. If David doesn't act fast, all will be lost.
Slink through the shadows of the underworld. Hide in plain sight and put on the cloak of pretense. Topple regimes, uncover treachery, and rise from the ashes as a new creation.
Writing fiction is ten times more exciting than reading it. Have you ever read a story and wished it ended differently? Have you ever looked out at a beautiful sunrise and seen a story taking shape? That's what writing is to me, and I hope my stories give you a glimpse of the hope I feel every day. For more about me visit https://www.sashaffer.com
I reviewed the first book in this series and gave it very high praise for its creativity and individuality. This series is my first experience with a Christian steampunk novel, so I am excited to have the opportunity to read and review it. I also got the chance to interview the author, which you can find here at The Rebel Christian. It isn’t everyday that you come across such a wonderful breath of fresh air with this new and thrilling adventure—and what a joy it is that this gem belongs to the Christian community!
Rise is the second installment in this incredible series, and it does not disappoint at all. I have to say, the book didn’t go as I’d expected but as someone who reads books for a living, it is quite difficult to surprise me so good job Mr. Shaffer!
