“You’re lying to them. You’re lying to yourself, too.

Naming it ‘justice. ’ Calling yourself a hero.

”“Then call me a villain. It only proves that sometimes, the villain wins.

”The Nyphraim world is gearing up for war, and Lyria Montenegro is caught in the centre. According to an apotelesman—the rare and sacred vision that uprooted her life—Lyria is the only one who can stand in the way of history’s greatest villain.

At least, that’s the story she’s been told. Her so-called enemy, Asra ab Solam, is anything but a merciless criminal, but a true threat looms on the horizon: a betrayal from the last person Lyria expected.

With uncertainty around every corner, Lyria works to unravel her place in the mystifying Nyphraim society with help from Trix, the only person she trusts with all her heart, and Kas, who hides a few secrets of her own. As for Cody? Devastated by tragic loss, he strikes out on a quest for justice.

New allies join him, bearing their own bitter grudges. However, forming fresh loyalties means that Cody must turn against old friends.

And the more he bonds with the members of his ragtag rebellion, the more he embraces their true goal: revenge. Rising Star is the second book of the YA Urban Fantasy Elemestrin Saga.

Delve into the intertwining stories of Lyria Montenegro and Cody Rathes in this tale of conflicted relationships, witty banter, and epic battles to save the world—but they can't agree on whose world is worth saving. LGBTQ+ friendly.
