Like a phoenix, they arose. From the ashes of a world burnt by massive nuclear holocaust and frozen by a millennia of nuclear winter. They are the Fisted Races and they struggle against the tattered remnant of Humanity for what little resources are left on a battered Earth. Ryon, Tigris, Kanid and Pantor; all equally powerful in skill and cunning. And in their hatred of the human race that nearly destroyed the world with the Great Burn. But now an even greater power in the south was rising that threatened Fisted and Humans alike. Could they somehow put the bloodshed and horror of their history behind them and stand together against it? Because if they didn't, not only would Humanity and the Fisted die, but so would every living thing on the planet!

Odashen. Kamdemahn. Giant's Bane. Oldest One. On the worlds of the Avatar Alliance I am called many names and I am considered many things. Some see me as a holy warrior with a purpose so powerful, not even Death can stop me. Others think me a tormented wanderer, driven mad by a horrible fate and left to travel the wastes for eternity. Yet others see me as a soulless creature of otherworldly vengeance, returning from the grave to wreak havoc on my enemies. From my point of view, I am ALL of these things. Yet, I am none of them. My name is Max Niekro and I am Risen. I have been summoned back from the grave for one purpose and one purpose alone. I'm here to kill Velkin. Join the Risen juggernaut in this sequel to Risen: Darklight and the third book in the Risen saga as he continues his quest to defend Earth and the living of the galaxy by taking his war to the stars, where he will face even greater challenges to his effort to rid the universe of the rapacious Velkin, a giant alien race bent on consuming every living sentient being they find before sucking out their home world's life force.

Rena wanders a decaying land, searching for purpose to a life that was supposed to have been laid out for her. As a Mythic, the people worship the ground she walks on. To them, a Mythic is life, a living representation of the ley energy that sustains their world. But as a Mythic who doesn't know what ancient spirit resides inside her, she doesn't exist to the Order that raised her. Ignored and denied, Rena sets her sights on other problems. She puts her control over fire and powerful illusions to the test against the feral things that stalk the woods and follows hidden pathways through the silent forests, determined that if the Order doesn't need her, she doesn't need it. But the portals are closing. The ley is in chaos. The Mythics that can still save it are in danger, and Rena's about to stumble upon the biggest purpose of her life whether she's ready for it or not. *+*+*+* Cover art by @46Kibahime Cover title font pretty-ing by @Prisim

Written as a companion novel to Risen and Risen: Darklight, Echoes of War tells us what the echoes, psychic reverberations of violent deaths that appear as ghosts and led by the incomparable Hannibal Barca of ancient Carthage, are doing between the major engagements of the two books. Which is a combination of learning both how to fight in a modern war while NOT killing each other as old conflicts arise with the return of memory. See how Hannibal begins to craft his determined volunteer ghosts into the formidable fighting force that plays a key role in not only the various raids the Risen engage in, but the assault on the siphon and the alpha tournament as well. He may only be an echo of his former self, but the former general is still one hell of a commander of soldiers! Join him and the echoes as they prepare to go to war against the Velkin.
