DarkRise - (The Origin Prophecy) by Rebecca Jaycox (Hardcover)

About the Book

Caleb desperately searches for a way into the celestial prison holding Luna, who is being mentally tormented by a vengeful Council for her role in unleashing Alexander the Great onto the world.

Book Synopsis

A wavering loyalty. A determined love. When the light falls, the dark will rise.

Remember your bloodline. That lesson has been drilled into eighteen-year-old CALEB since childhood, and as grandson to Alexander the Great, he has always respectfully heeded those words. But when that loyalty lands him in the middle of an uprising that could lead to a war that would rival the Fall, Caleb realizes that family isn't always all it's cracked up to be. Especially when the price for that blind devotion is the girl he loves.

LUNA thought she nearly lost her mind once, but four months in a hidden celestial realm has her teetering closer to insanity than ever before. Imprisoned by the Council for her role in Alexander's release, she spends her days obsessing over the revelation of her true identity and having conversations with people who might not actually be there. Trapped in a cage where time never moves and reality and hallucination have become intertwined, only one thing remains clear to Luna: she will never leave this place.

Caleb won't rest until he rescues his Goldilocks, even if that means defying his grandfather and the Council to save her. But will he reach Luna before she is lost to her madness? Or will he fail and lose her again-this time forever?

DARKRISE is the second book in the YA paranormal romance trilogy The Origin Prophecy, a loose Romeo + Juliet retelling about star-crossed teenagers in a magical, hidden world of angels, demons, and Nephilim.
