Blurb/Synopsis:
Heralds are the most powerful of all angels, secretive and feared, created for a single purpose. Only those most courageous and worthy earn a place within the elite choir, and only by breaking ancient oaths held sacred can the honor be stripped. It's a punishment that hasn't been imposed in over two-thousand years, until a single reckless act sets off a firestorm, threatening to consume all creation.
Rise Hawke never suspected she'd been marked to play a role in the deadly events unfolding in the spiritual realm. Independent and resistant to authority, she isn't thrilled when she meets Dominik, an angel with new wings, an old grudge, and a mysterious agenda he's determined to impose.
Vowing to uncover the secrets kept from her, Rise soon learns that knowing what you are isn't nearly as dangerous as discovering why. Hunted by those who want to destroy her, and controlled by those who would see her fulfill her purpose, she is forced into a brutal battle set in motion long before she was ever born. It soon becomes clear that what one angel will risk to earn the title of Herald, is matched only by what another will do to keep it.
Dawn Jayne is an Urban and Paranormal Fantasy author
from Indianapolis, Indiana USA.
Dawn was an avid reader from a young age, and her
desire to write took hold soon thereafter. She loaded up on creative
writing classes in school, and posted short stories online to hone her
skills - and to make certain she had the thick skin necessary to survive
the world of publication!
Uprising is Dawn's first novel, but one that has been
in her head for most of her life in one form or another.
No matter what
job she held - from being a Marine to a mother to a veterinary receptionist
- she was always hearing voices and spinning tales in her head. Uprising
is a blend of fantasy, spirituality, ancient arts and astrology, all
woven together while keeping a foundation in the real world.
Her manuscript was accepted by Time and Tide Publishing
in 2012, the first in what will be a three book series. She hopes her
story will be a positive contribution to the wonderful Urban Fantasy
genre, and wants nothing more than her words to bring enjoyment to readers.
Dawn lives with her family on the Southside of Indianapolis.
My Review
Some books just rachout and grab you from the first sentence and Uprising did that to me. I could not put it down until I finished it! Great characters, and story. I definitely recommend, and would give it 4 stars!
