The world is divided into two categories of individuals: those who believe that destiny is preordained and those who believe they can shape their own path. Lianne identifies with the latter group. However, growing up in the dazzling light of Lys, she discovers that light can both illuminate and blind. Her destiny appears to have been written even before her birth, but she steadfastly dedicates herself to defending her faction and the people she holds dear from the darkness of Suarì.
Throughout this struggle, Lianne confronts the intricate truths of life: love can be deceptive, lies may conceal profound realities, and there exists a fundamental difference between those who strive to live and those who merely survive. Amidst the chaos of emotions and fragments of lost life, Lianne finds herself torn between conflicting sentiments and enduring challenges.
The question she faces is whether she will succeed in saving her people from an uncertain fate and bringing clarity to the darkness enveloping their world. Rising is a gripping tale that delves into the conflict between preordained destiny and individual will, unveiling the hidden secrets in what seems to be a flawless world and testing the strength and courage of a passionate woman.

Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
