The Rising: Book II of The Awakening Protocols
THE RISING
Book Two of
The Awakening Protocols
The Awakening was only the beginning.
The vampires are no longer hiding. Across the country, dormant nests are stirring, disappearances are mounting, and the signs point toward something far more organized than anyone feared. The Rising has begun.
John Laird, Ava Weller, Delta, and the growing network of Hunter Cells are fighting back-hitting nests, uncovering hidden stockpiles, and piecing together fragments of knowledge buried for centuries. But every victory reveals something worse. The creatures aren't simply feeding. They're preparing for war.
And humanity isn't standing united against them.
Collaborators have infiltrated the resistance, willingly opening doors from the inside. Ancient records reveal terrifying new variations of the enemy, including the Sirens-predators capable of reaching into memory and appearing as the people their victims love most. Against them, even knowing the truth may not be enough.
From isolated compounds and forgotten mills to the decaying streets of Camden, New Jersey, Laird and his team follow the trail deeper into a conspiracy that has survived generations. With trust collapsing and the enemy growing stronger, the hunters are forced to confront a terrifying possibility:
This isn't another outbreak.
It isn't an invasion.
It's a cycle.
And buried beneath the Awakening Protocols is the name of something older than the vampires they've been fighting.
Velithra.
The war has already begun.
This time, humanity rises too.
