Analiese Rising
Brenda Drake
Publication Date: January 8, 2019
Genres: YA Paranormal, Romance
When a stranger gives Analiese Jordan a list of names before he dies, the last thing she expects to see is her own on it. Not. Cool. Her search for answers leads to the man’s grandson, Marek, who has dangerous secrets of his own. Both are determined to unlock the mystery of the list.
But the truth is deadly. Analiese is a descendant of the God of Death, known as a Riser, with the power to raise the dead and control them. Finding out she has hidden powers? Cool. Finding out she turns corpses into killers? No, thank you.
Now the trail plants her and Marek in the middle of a war between gods who apparently want to raise an army of the Risen, and Analiese must figure out how to save the world—from herself.
I sink farther into my chair to give him more room.
He makes it to the aisle and smiles down at me. “Sorry.”
“No problem,” I say, trying to sound as unaffected as a rhino with an oxpecker bird on his back. Which is an actual thing. I saw it in a documentary once. The birds use the rhino for protection from predators. Because no one wants to take on such a mammoth animal.
That’s what I need to do. Get a tough skin like a rhino.
With Marek gone, I slip the woman’s card out from my pocket. It’s pink and there are two interlocking hearts in one corner with three simple lines in the middle.

About the Author
Brenda Drake is a New York Times bestselling author of young adult fiction. She grew up the youngest of three children, an Air Force brat, and the continual new kid at school. Her fondest memories growing up is of her eccentric, Irish grandmother's animated tales, which gave her a strong love for storytelling. So it was only fitting that she would choose to write stories with a bend toward the fantastical. When she's not writing or hanging out with her family, she haunts libraries, bookstores, and coffee shops, or reads someplace quiet and not at all exotic (much to her disappointment).
