THE RISING ORDER kicks off a series reflecting the rise of extremism and threats society faces in the digital age.
Losing everything changed Wolf. Orphaned at a young age, he had no family, no home, and no future. Until a domestic terrorist organization seduced him into their ranks when he was eighteen. Over the next ten years, he’s transformed into a merciless killer and discovers his life’s purpose in the organization’s mission of societal breakdown. Building a new totalitarian regime consumes him and it starts with collapsing Chicago’s vulnerable electrical grid.
Flynn is trapped in a soul-sucking job, recruiting at a renowned computing firm. When Wolf takes her hostage during a brutal attack on Soldier Field, she becomes a pawn in their mission to take control of the city. Forced to help Wolf infiltrate her company, right and wrong is no longer black or white. If Flynn refuses, he will murder every person she loves. If she agrees, Chicago will suffer unimaginable horror. Killing Wolf is her only solution. But, while searching for his breaking point, she discovers a glimpse of humanity she didn’t know existed—a loneliness she also recognizes in herself. Now, it will take more than wit and willpower to stop him from destroying her city, it will take everything she has.
