Some revolutions are born in fire. Others are forged in the ashes.
The rebellion has ignited, but freedom comes at a brutal cost. The true price of war is exacted upon both oppressors and the oppressed, heedless of who is righteous or depraved.
As full-scale war threatens to consume empires, fracture alliances, and test the strength of every soul who dares to defy Braiton’s rule, even beyond their borders, Damien Flynn finds himself thrust into the eye of the storm.
To make matters worse, aspiring conquerors, avaricious opportunists, and desperate souls all rush to take advantage of the chaos. Damien's mission descends into bedlam as he confronts unexpected enemies on every front, and even allies have their own agendas. The fate of the Ricchans hangs in the balance, putting them in even greater peril than they ever imagined when the war began.
But Damien is not alone in his burdens. Stripped of her one true love and perhaps even her will to continue, Victoria must find a glimmer of hope amidst the encroaching darkness. The boundaries between justice and tyranny are growing hazier every day, hurling the rebel insurgents into impossible choices with empire-ending consequences.
As the tides of war shift against them, can Damien and Victoria hold the line before betrayal obliterates everything they’ve built—or will this uprising be their last stand?
In the gripping sequel to the award-winning fantasy Rise, Stand chronicles shattered allegiances, harrowing sacrifices, and heroic resilience, challenging the very notions of right and wrong in the fires of relentless adversity. Embark on a breathless journey through the blurred lines of morality, where the fates of nations rest in the hands of the few intrepids brave enough to defend their vision of a just world.
