The Rising Trilogy box set featuring full length novels: Defiance Rising, Relinquish and Vengeance
Defiance Rising:
Illyria has never known a life without the Rebellion.
Instinct.
Survival.
Nothing else matters…until she ventures out into unknown territory and is faced with an enemy that proves even more fierce and determined than she ever thought.
Bastien is infuriating, dangerous and annoyingly gorgeous. Eamon is familiar, comforting and turning into a man before her eyes. Both want her heart...but she is torn between duty and desire. When her choice affects all of mankind, how can she allow herself to be selfish?
There is a power within her that can change everyone’s fate…but she underestimated the most potent force on Earth—love. Illyria must discover if she has the strength to sacrifice her heart to save mankind
Relinquish:
The rising is over, but the war continues to rage. King Aloysius knows Illyria exists and will stop at nothing to possess her. Jealousy drives a wedge between Illyria and Eamon. When Bastien reveals himself as her guide into enemy territory, an ambush lands them in captivity. Illyria is faced with the truth that she is not ready to face her destiny…or let Bastien go again.
Vengeance:
Even though memories may be altered, a heart can never forget its true love.
Peace has come to Calisted under Illyria’s new reign as Queen. Volunteers return to Earth to help its people begin to rebuild. With her new husband at her side, Illyria has many things to celebrate and yet she worries that this time of peace is only fleeting.
Dreams of a man with piercing sapphire blue eyes haunt Illyria nightly and she can’t shake the feeling that she knows this stranger, or worse...that he knows her too.
When an attack on the palace leaves her imprisoned on a distant planet, Illyria must discover a strength within herself to survive, but she’s not fighting just for herself any more. This time mercy is not an option. All Illyria cares about is vengeance.
Author Amy Miles has always been a bit of a dreamer.
Growing up as an only child, and a military brat to boot, she spent countless
hours escaping into the pages of a book, only to spend the following days
creating a new idea of how to twist up the story to make it unique.
Since becoming a mother, Amy has slowly nourished her
love of the written word while snatching writing time in the midst of soiled
diapers, tumbling over legos and peering around mounds of laundry and dishes
that never seem to go away. Once her only son started school, Amy was free to
let her fingers dive into dark mythology, tales of betrayal and love, and
explore human nature in its rawest form. Her love of seeing the world from a
different angle bloomed.
Amy is the author of several novels, including her
popular young adult immortal books, The Arotas Series, which are an Amazon and
iBooks bestselling series. Unwilling to be defined by any one genre, she
proceeded to flip over to a science fiction/fantasy based idea with her Rising
Trilogy. She then dove into contemporary romance with her novel, Captivate and
explored the depths of her own faith with In Your Embrace.
