I didn't like the previous Rising story and I couldn't figure out where to go from there. But here is a new version. Same/similar characters. A story of tragedy, betrayal, coup d'etat, and supernatural interference. It's set in an alternate reality so don't expect it to be accurate or anything. Basically, America is still a major world power but it's a monarchy ruled by a military tyrant and monopolists.... Caitlin is a former General who is dishonourably discharged and falls into alcoholism. She's saved by her co-workers and pulled into their "revolution club". She sees them as terrorists (and lazy ones at that) but eventually, comes around and reforms/leads their rag tag group of factory workers... I hope y'all like it.

Julia is on the run, fleeing for her life. An army of vampires ravage her country, plundering villages and enslaving their occupants. With the vampire horde closing in, Julia is forced to abandon her home and head south with the hope of reuniting with her brother. There they will build a new farm and live in safety. But one vampire lord has a different plan for her future. He tracks her down and takes her captive. No matter how hopeless her situation, she never gives up, risking her life to regain her freedom. He forces her down, punishing her when her defiant spirit hinders his mission. It soon becomes clear that she's nothing like the human soldiers he's used to dealing with. A sense a guilt begins to grow whenever he upsets the girl who both fears and leans into him for protection. Julia and the vampire lord are connected in ways they had never known. Their lives become entangled, bringing them to make decisions they would've never thought possible. Extract from Chapter 1: He unsheathes his blade, and I suddenly wish that he'd go back to poking me. He's going to cut me while I can't move? To torture me? I start to panic again. "No, no, no." I yank on the restraints, and the rope bites into my skin. I pull and pull and try to shuffle away from him. He presses the blade against my neck, and I freeze. "Fearful," he says. I catch a glimpse of his freakishly long canines. The edge of the blade presses on my skin, just enough not to draw blood.
