Run. Kael took off, dodging through the shadows as if she were one of them. She scrambled down darkened alleys and through underbrush. Bells tolled out with a cacophonous clanging in the night, their tones as loud as screams. Then . . . the cart was there, hurdling past the opening at the end of the alley. Wagon wheels careened over cobblestone, throwing filthy sprays of water in their wake. She dared not to look behind her. Looming figures faces obscured by plague masks manned the helm of the cart. They drove the horses with a righteous fury, searching the night for those who they called, “the pestilence”. If she were caught, death would surely follow.  Seventeen-year-old Kael is nothing more than street rat, a dog who steals from the nobility to survive. She is one of the "pestilent underlings" which society has rejected due the strange power she carries in her blood. The Nightmen, or those of "The Domination" have made it clear where she belongs in the society of the Upper World. If they catch her, she will face death...or worse. Yet, when she receives word of her Father's imminent demise, she is given a parting gift she never asked for. Can she continue her Father's legacy and uncover exactly what it is that gives the Nightmen their power? And, if she can get close enough to them...might she take this power for herself, and upset the injustice that has reigned for centuries?  Get ready for a revolution. This is Kael Rising.
