Rising Against Darkness

Nineteen-year-old Tess has grown up under tyranny-but survival has always come at a cost.

In the shadow-plagued town of Foxthorn, a ruthless dictator and his enforcers control every aspect of life. Fear is law. Silence is survival. And hope is dangerous.

When Tess and her childhood friends join forces with a group of newcomers, their quiet resistance turns into something far more dangerous: a plan to fight back. But when an attempted uprising ends in betrayal, Tess and her friends are captured-and Foxthorn's future hangs by a thread.

Forced to choose between saving the people she loves and protecting the town she calls home, Tess must confront fear, doubt, and the limits of her own faith. As darkness closes in, she discovers that courage doesn't always roar-and that even the smallest spark of hope can challenge the most powerful evil.

Rising Against Darkness is a gripping young adult novel about moral choice, loyalty, redemptive faith, and the courage it takes to stand when doing what's right could cost everything.

Will Tess find the strength to defy tyranny?
Or will Foxthorn be lost to the darkness forever?
